Ex-Lawmaker Slams Tinubu's Reversal of Pardon List as National Embarrassment

The former member of the House of Representatives and political analyst criticized President Bola Tinubu's decision to reverse a pardon list, labeling it a national embarrassment. The move was blamed on poor vetting processes, political interference, and a lack of institutional due diligence.

The analyst highlighted concerns over the lack of professional international checks among the president's advisors. The reversal was compared to past controversial presidential pardons, such as those issued by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The action was deemed damaging to the president's credibility and warned of setting a dangerous precedent.
