Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, has cautioned against disparaging the judiciary, emphasizing that recent court decisions related to elections should be accepted without baseless accusations. Speaking in Kwara state, Fagbemi dismissed allegations against the judiciary as mere cheap blackmail and urged those with concrete evidence of judicial misconduct to come forward.
Addressing the media, Fagbemi stated, "You lost at the tribunal, you lost at the Appeal Court and at the Supreme Court yet you are insinuating foul play. I think even apart from law, morality also demands that you take the outcome as it is." He emphasized the importance of presenting solid evidence if anyone believes justice has been perverted.
Furthermore, Fagbemi urged Nigerians to give President Tinubu an opportunity to improve the country's fortunes, highlighting Tinubu's readiness for the task and his focus on long-term benefits. He asked for patience, noting that positive responses from foreign investors were already evident in Tinubu's efforts to attract investments.
In conclusion, Fagbemi emphasized the need to avoid unfounded insinuations that tarnish the nation's name and underscored Tinubu's commitment to addressing Nigeria's challenges.
