PDP Chieftain Slams Tinubu Over Clemency for Drug Barons, Calls for Scrapping Anti-Crime Agencies
A PDP chieftain, Eze, has strongly criticized Tinubu for advocating clemency for drug barons and other convicts, leading to calls for the scrapping of major anti-crime agencies like EFCC, NDLEA, and ICPC. The recent presidential pardon list, approved by the Council of State, includes controversial figures like Herbert Macaulay, Farouk Lawan, Mamman Vatsa, and Maryam Sanda.
Eze, a former APC spokesperson, expressed embarrassment over the development, questioning the integrity of the justice system. The move has sparked political tensions and raised concerns about the rule of law in Nigeria.
