Atiku Slams Tinubu Over Presidential Pardon Review

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar criticized Bola Tinubu for the review of the presidential pardon list, describing it as a shameful act. Tinubu revoked the clemency granted to 140 inmates, including Maryam Sanda, who was convicted of killing her husband, and Bilyaminu Bello, serving a 12-year sentence.

Atiku's aide emphasized that presidential pardons should reflect justice, mercy, and national interest. The move sparked a debate on governance and empathy in Nigeria.
