Aminu Tambuwal delivered the remarks at the national convention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) held in Abuja, where he cautioned that the country’s democratic future depends heavily on the independence and credibility of its institutions.

He drew attention to past electoral controversies, noting that history continues to judge the actions of individuals in positions of authority.
“We are in very interesting times in Nigeria today, where pseudo Democrats found their way to power and are manifestly exposing themselves,” Tambuwal said during his address.
The senator specifically directed his appeal toward members of the judiciary, urging them to remain impartial and resist external pressure in the discharge of their duties.
