President Bola Tinubu says no one, regardless of highly placed in the society, is above the law under his administration.
Tinubu stated that his administration cannot be accused of
protecting any individual or group from legal consequences on account of
political affiliation.
The President stated this on Monday while declaring open the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and National Judicial
Institute, NJI, Workshop for Justices and Judges in Abuja.
According to him, a Nigeria corruption-free was possible if
everyone committed to doing the right thing in their respective spheres of
influence.
The Nigerian leader tasked the judiciary to remain
steadfast, impartial, and incorruptible in dispensing justice.
He warned that the breakdown of any society began when those
entrusted with interpreting its laws became compromised.
“The Federal Government under my watch will make sure that
no one is above the law. We draw our moral distinction as a people from the
judiciary, and we owe it the reverence and autonomy to remain the last
sanctuary of our collective conscience.
“There is also a certain level of consternation over
decisions of courts in serious corruption matters that engender feelings that
society is being left with the wrong end of the stick,” he said.
