The Acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, Senator Nenadi Usman, has urged the federal government to immortalize Justice Mohammed Uwais, the former Chief Justice of the Federation.
This is contained in a statement signed by her in Abuja.
The statement says to meaningfully honour his memory, government should implement the recommendation of the Mohammed Uwais Report on Electoral Reform.
It explains that the report encapsulated the late jurist’s deep commitment to democratic excellence and national progress.
The statement describes Uwais’ death as a deep loss to the nation and his family.
“His principled and visionary leadership as Chief Justice of Nigeria not only advanced the cause of justice but also set a benchmark for generations of legal minds to follow.” Senator Usman states.
“It is with profound grief that I received the news of the passing of Justice Mohammed Uwais – an exceptional jurist, a revered elder statesman, and a shining beacon of integrity in Nigeria’s judicial history”
“Justice Uwais’s enduring legacy is profoundly etched in the annals of our nation’s jurisprudence” she stresses.
“His transition is a monumental loss, not only to his beloved family and the legal community but to Nigeria as a whole – a country he served with uncommon dedication and grace throughout his distinguished career”
“On behalf of the entire Labour Party family, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and indeed the entire nation”
“May Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and comfort those he leaves behind”
