ABUJA, Nigeria — Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed deep concern over the continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, describing it as “an open sore on our nation’s conscience” and “a stain on our belief in the rule of law.”
In a statement, Atiku criticized the defiance of court orders granting Kanu bail, calling it an abuse of power and an assault on justice.
“I, therefore, lend my voice in full support of the campaign led by Omoyele Sowore for his immediate release or due prosecution,” he said.
The former presidential candidate stressed that allowing Kanu’s case to persist would be a failure of patriotism and accountability.
“We fail as patriots if we allow Kanu’s case to fester as yet another wound this nation refuses to heal,” Atiku added.
His statement underscores ongoing public debate regarding adherence to judicial rulings, the independence of the judiciary, and the proper handling of politically sensitive cases in Nigeria.
