In a statement on Saturday, Acting National Chairman Senator Nenadi Usman praised Justice Uwais as a man of exceptional integrity and unwavering dedication to justice, democracy, and national development.
“To properly commemorate his contributions,” Senator Usman said, “the government must take decisive action to adopt the Electoral Reform Report, a comprehensive framework aimed at deepening Nigeria’s democracy.”
She described his death as a profound loss to the nation, his family, and the judiciary, emphasizing that his leadership set a lasting example for future generations of legal professionals.
“Justice Mohammed Uwais was a distinguished jurist and respected elder statesman whose legacy continues to inspire.”
