Opinion: Pardons, Clemency, and the Death of Moral Clarity
Lateef Fagbemi, Nigeria's Attorney-General and Minister of Justice since August 2023, is a senior advocate with notable experience in election matters.
He has had several victories in high-profile electoral disputes, including a significant win in 2023 where he led a team of lawyers to persuade the Supreme Court to validate the presidency award to Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the 'Independent' National Electoral Commission (INEC).
His lawyering skills became more pronounced with his dexterity over election matters.
This win likely contributed to his recommendation for the top law officer position in the country.
