The Labour Party (LP) has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Hon. Justice Mohammed Uwais, describing him as “a shining beacon of integrity” and a rare gem in Nigeria’s legal history.

In a condolence message personally signed by the Acting National Chairman of the Labour Party, Senator Nenadi Usman, the opposition party praised the late jurist for his principled leadership and lasting contribution to the country’s judicial and democratic development.

“Justice Uwais’ enduring legacy is profoundly etched in the annals of our nation’s jurisprudence. 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,” the statement read.

Recall that Justice Uwais, who served as Chief Justice of Nigeria from 1995 to 2006, was also the head of the Presidential Electoral Reform Committee set up by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua — a national assignment that culminated in the much-talked-about ‘Uwais Report’ on electoral reforms.

The Labour Party used the occasion of his passing to call on policymakers to finally act on the key recommendations of the report, which advocates for sweeping reforms in Nigeria’s electoral system, including the independence of the electoral body and prosecution of electoral offences.

“As we mourn his loss, I pray that this moment inspires our policymakers to honour his memory meaningfully by urgently implementing the recommendations of the Mohammed Uwais Report on Electoral Reform — a project that encapsulated his deep commitment to democratic excellence and national progress,” Senator Usman stated.

The party described Justice Uwais’ death as a monumental loss not only to his immediate family and the legal profession but to Nigeria as a whole.

“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 Labour Party, Senator Usman offered prayers for the late jurist, asking Almighty Allah to grant him eternal rest and strength to his grieving family.

“May Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and comfort those he leaves behind,” she added.
