The acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, Senator Nenadi Usman, has urged the Federal Government to immortalise the late former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mohammed Uwais.
Ms Usman, in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, said to honour the memory of the deceased, the government should implement the recommendations of the Mohammed Uwais Report on Electoral Reform.
She stated that the report encapsulated the late jurist’s deep commitment to democratic excellence and national progress.
Ms Usman described Mr Uwais’ death as a deep loss to his family and the country in general.
Ms Usman stated, “His principled and visionary leadership as Chief Justice of Nigeria not only advanced the cause of justice but also set a benchmark for generations of legal minds to follow. It is with profound grief that I received the news of the passing of Honourable Justice Mohammed Uwais, an exceptional jurist, a revered elder statesman and a shining beacon of integrity in Nigeria’s judicial history. Justice Uwais’ enduring legacy is profoundly etched in the annals of our nation’s jurisprudence. His transition is a monumental loss, not only to his beloved family and the legal community, but to Nigeria as a whole – a country he served with uncommon dedication and grace throughout his distinguished career. On behalf of the entire Labour Party family, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues and indeed the entire nation. May Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus and comfort those he left behind.’’
