Atiku Criticizes Tinubu for Leading Judges in Political Anthem, NJI Denies Partisanship

Former Vice President Atiku condemns President Bola Tinubu for allegedly leading judges in a political anthem during an event in 2025, stating judges swore an oath to the constitution, not Tinubu's mandate. The Nigerian Judicial Institute (NJI) debunked claims of partisanship, asserting the anthem was sung collectively.

Atiku warns against dragging the judiciary into partisan politics, emphasizing the need for an apolitical judiciary. Tinubu's alleged involvement in the incident has sparked controversy and accusations of undermining judicial independence.
