Former Kano Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso’s casual admission that in he personally took Abba Yusuf (then a candidate) to the homes of all Supreme Court judges in Nigeria, meeting them in their villages and towns, to “beg” over the Kano governorship election dispute is a chilling revelation that strikes at the heart of judicial independence.

This is not lobbying through proper legal channels; it is direct, private access to the apex court’s justices in their personal residences during an active (or impending) election petition matter. Such ex parte contacts between litigants/political figures and judges deciding their cases represent a profound threat to democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria.

When politicians boast of “begging” judges at home over election outcomes, it normalizes the perception and quite possibly the reality, of judicial compromise, where verdicts may hinge on personal pressure, influence, or worse, rather than evidence and law. The 2020 Supreme Court dismissal of Yusuf’s appeal (affirming Ganduje’s victory) now sits under a dark cloud of suspicion because of this boast.

Rabiu Kwankwaso himself exposed this in a moment of political bitterness over Yusuf’s defection to APC—handing the NNPP mandate to “enemies,” as he put it. Yet the damage is done: a former governor and major political figure has publicly confirmed attempts at backdoor influence on the judiciary.
This conduct undermines public trust in the courts, erodes the separation of powers, and signals to ordinary Nigerians that justice is purchasable or negotiable for the powerful. It is unacceptable in any democracy worthy of the name.

Retired Justice Dattijo Muhammad has already denied any such meeting, challenging Kwankwaso to name names. The Supreme Court and NJC must now urgently investigate these claims to restore credibility, before such impunity becomes the norm.

Democracy dies in darkness; this kind of judicial backdoor dealing must be dragged into the light and condemned unequivocally.

Malami’s case is not personal
His investigation predated me in the office. I inherited his investigation file; all I did was ensure the investigation was carried out in a very professional and thorough manner

He has been under investigation for almost two and a half years (since immediately after the exit of Buhari’s government).

When there was deluge of pressure from the IMF for Nigeria to devalue the Naira, Buhari says Nigeria will go against their advice for it isn’t in our best interests. He says countries that play with their currencies are those with huge production capacities and Nigeria isn’t one.
