No Hope For Common Man Again, Tinubu’s Minister Fagbemi Says
The Attorney General and Minister of Justice Lateef Fagbemi has said that the common man in Nigeria does not have hope again. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) explained that the court, which used to be the last hope of common man has been compromised.
The minister said that it’s the “big citizens” who now patronize the judiciary at the detriment of the poor people of the country. He added that he didn’t mean to sound rude to the judiciary, but he needed to say it that the common man doesn’t have hope in the judiciary anymore.
The AGF, Fagbemi said, “Gone were those days when the judiciary was regarded as the last hope of the common man. I take objection to it. It is the big people now who patronise the judiciary, not even the common man. If you have any doubt, the election is approaching, come and see the way, with all due respect, some people behave like rain-beaten chickens. Forgive me, I don’t mean to be rude. So, the judiciary is no longer the last hope of the common man alone, it is also, or majorly now, the last hope of the big shots.”
In the event for the groundbreaking of the N37bn construction of the Abuja Division of the Appeal Court Complex, the FCT minister Nyesom Wike corroborated what Lateef Fagbemi said. He explained that the judiciary is now for the politicians and influential people of the country.
