Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has described the recent presidential pardon by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a reckless act that emboldens criminality. Atiku, in a post on his social media platforms, said as expected, the development has “provoked outrage across the nation.” Atiku explained that ordinarily, the power of presidential pardon is a solemn prerogative, “a moral and constitutional instrument designed to temper justice with mercy and to underscore the humanity of the state. When properly exercised, it elevates justice and strengthens public faith in governance. “Regrettably, the latest pardon issued by the Tinubu administration has done the very opposite. The decision to extend clemency to individuals convicted of grave crimes such as drug trafficking, kidnapping, murder, and corruption not only diminishes the sanctity of justice but also sends a dangerous signal to the public and the international community about the values this government upholds.” The opposition leader noted that at a time when Nigeria continues to reel under the weight of insecurity, moral decay, and a surge in drug-related offences, “it is both shocking and indefensible that the presidency would prioritize clemency for those whose actions have directly undermined national stability and social order. “Particularly worrisome is the revelation that 29.2% percent of those pardoned were convicted for drug-related crimes at a time when our youth are being destroyed by narcotics, and our nation is still struggling to cleanse its image from the global stain of drug offences. “Even more disturbing is the moral irony that this act of clemency is coming from a President whose own past remains clouded by unresolved and unexplained issues relating to the forfeiture of thousands of dollars to the United States government over drug-related investigations.” Atiku, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, added it was no surprise that this administration continued to demonstrate a worrying tolerance for individuals associated with criminal enterprise. He argued that “A presidential pardon is meant to symbolize restitution and moral reform. Instead, what we have witnessed is a mockery of the criminal justice system, an affront to victims, a demoralization of law enforcement, and a grave injury to the conscience of the nation. “Clemency must never be confused with complicity. When a government begins to absolve offenders of the very crimes it claims to be fighting, it erodes the moral authority of leadership and emboldens lawlessness. “Nigeria deserves a leadership that upholds justice, not one that trivializes it.” https://dailytrust.com/atiku-tinubus-style-of-presidential-pardon-emboldens-criminality/ |
Putindbutt:You should be done bro You have lot it all |
Putindbutt:You refused to answer my question. I asked you whether you meant that a court cannot overturn a Federal Government gazette, even if it has been found to be unconstitutional |

Putindbutt:I asked you a question: do you mean a court cannot overturn a Federal Government gazette, even when it has been found to be unconstitutional? You refused to answer that, but now you're here asking whether I know the meaning of gazette. Answer the question I asked you. |
nairalanda1:Is the problem that I'm not seeing the reason the Tinubu government clearly lied, claiming there was no agreement with ASUU and dismissing whatever agreement existed with the previous Federal Government as mere proposals? |
MaziObinnaokija:Take your 'we vs them' brickbat elsewhere not on mention |
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has alleged that the current hardship being experienced in the country is mentally affecting Nigerians.https://dailytrust.com/current-hardship-mentally-affecting-nigerians-obi/#google_vignette

favor914:I didn't wish him dead, I merely re-echoed your comment |
favor914:We’re all mere mortals, nobody get monopoly over life. |
nairalanda1:All the same, the presidential pardon should be extended |
It's Nigerians turn This professor in practice should let us rest |
LagosOrigin:And Tinubu should extend the presidential pardon to them as well ![]() |
The ASUU strike is inevitable. This is what you get when a government is obviously incompetent, fail woefully and spectacularly and then chooses to engage in lies, falsehood, and propaganda. The Tinubu administration played the game of lies, falsehood, and propaganda with this issue. First, they denied that there was any agreement between the Federal Government and ASUU, in their usual manner of passing the buck describing the referenced documents as merely proposals. But when they were called out, they backtracked. |

Abike Dabiri has also pardoned him

Putindbutt:You mean a court cannot overturn a Federal Government gazette, even when it has been found to be unconstitutional as in the case of the declaration of IPOB as a terrorist group? Your public display of gargantuan ignorance is mind-blowing. |
opes:Is the Tinubu government not engaging in mindless borrowing even borrowing far more than previous administrations despite no longer paying fuel subsidies and claiming it has met its revenue targets and is? What infrastructure development are you even referring to? Is it the so-called Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway a project shrouded in secrecy, where the Minister of Works, who fraudulently claimed to be a professor, only backtracked when exposed by saying he’s a professor in practice? Up till now, they’ve refused to tell Nigerians the cost per kilometer. It’s nothing more than a fraudulent, money-laundering scheme disguised as infrastructure. |
Putindbutt:It's obvious you lack mental capacity to comprehend simple and precised English Where exactly did I say Tinubu is going for medical in Rome? You're so eager to defend failure that you’re arguing with points I never made |
Putindbutt:The court has since declared that IPOB is not a terrorist group, but you are not concerned about that because it doesn’t serve your jaundiced, hypocritical bigotry. We all know the real terrorist organization as was declared internationally by a Canadian court. When seeking a visa, state that you are an APC member and Tinubu supporter and let’s see if you will be granted one
|
Tinubu's reforms do not appear to be designed for the benefit of poor Nigerians; rather, they are intended to inflict hardship and pain, a point he underscored when he urged Nigerians to endure the pain. |
Putindbutt:Gbajue this, Gbajue that, we all know who is the real Gbajue. well, I see that your obsession is loud. You talk more about him than his actual supporters. Must be tough when the only way to justify your Tinubu incompetent actions is to drag someone else who isn't even in power. As for IPOB and sliced bread nice attempt at distraction. But no amount of tribal dog whistles will change the fact: bad judgment is bad judgment, no matter who signs the paper |
Yet another overseas trip. What has Nigeria achieved from Tinubu's globe-trotting adventures so far? Absolutely nothing. Each trip seems to be a cover for seeking medical attention in foreign hospitals, while he hasn’t built a single world-class hospital since becoming president. When there’s no legitimate reason to travel, they invent one and call it a working visit, just another excuse to waste Nigeria’s scarce resources on medical tourism. |
This is becoming a sickness that needs urgent medical attention |
favor914:If that's the only thing that will stop him, then it will Na you talk am, no be me |
The Lagos State Government is known more for demolishing than building. They don’t build, they wait to demolish. |

Putindbutt:So he has to travel around all the prisons in the country and screen prisoners by himself to do the right thing? Typical Agbado reasoning. This is exactly what you'd expect from a supporter of d..lórd, who never does any wrong. Every one of his actions, no matter how indefensible, is always seen as right. |
Putindbutt:See a typical Agbadoo reasoning |
