Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday lashed out at President Bola Tinubu, saying Nigerians are witnessing a “government that thinks after it acts.”
Atiku described Tinubu administration’s return on the list of presidential pardons which includes drug traffickers, kidnappers, and other hardened criminals as an act of shame and not wisdom.
The presidency had released a fresh list of inmates Tinubu revoked his earlier granted presidential clemency.
The list released by Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s spokesman, on Wednesday said 140 inmates were affected.
In the list, Tinubu commuted Maryam Sanda’s death sentenced for killing her husband in 2020, Bilyaminu Bello, to 12 years imprisonment.
