Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has cautioned against the use of the courts to target political opponents, referencing recent actions taken against former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai. Abubakar expressed concern that these actions pose a threat to constitutional liberties and the fair administration of justice within Nigeria. He did not specify the exact legal challenges he was referencing, but implied a pattern of politically motivated prosecutions. The warning suggests a growing apprehension among opposition figures regarding potential abuse of the legal system. This development raises questions about the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law in the country. Abubakar’s statement was released to Vanguard News and signals a potential escalation of political tensions.
