The Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi has warned that the Federal Government would not tolerate the subversion of a democratically elected government under whatever guise.
Fagbemi affirmed that the government will promote and uphold the fundamental rights of all citizens but insisted that any infraction or breach of the same rights by any person or organization under any guise except as stipulated by the constitution would not be condoned. The AGF pointed out that the present administration has a clear mandate of the people, and can only be changed at the end of its tenure as prescribed by the constitution.
Specifically, the AGF said the federal government will eradicate all forms of obstacles militating against the modernization, effectiveness and efficiency of the justice sector. He added that with the recent 300 percent salary increment for judicial officers, the efforts of the government will enhance and promote the Judiciary as the last hope of the common man. Fagbemi thanked the Supreme Court for rescuing Local Governments in Nigeria from the claws of governors.
