Tinubu recalled how, upon retirement, the Federal Government called upon Justice Uwais to head a panel to investigate the conduct of our elections. Given his pedigree and personal integrity, he was the right person for that onerous assignment.

“Not surprisingly, Justice Uwais led the panel to produce a critical report that contained a detailed prognosis of our electoral system. In active service and retirement, the late Justice Uwais maintained a dignified persona, earning him respect beyond his immediate constituency,” Tinubu stated in his message mourning the late jurist.
