Tinubu: 'Justice Oluwa was also one of Nigeria’s most important jurists. Where others may have lost their beacon, he remained a shining example for the legal profession.'
All Progressive Congress stalwart and former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has described the late Justice Isiaka Oluwa as a man of integrity.His tribute reads: “Justice Isiaka Ishola Oluwa was, first and foremost a fine gentleman, loving husband and a doting father. He was adored by all those who came into contact with him. My deepest sympathy and condolences to his loving family, friends, acquaintances and professional colleagues. He will surely be missed by all of them.
“Justice Oluwa stood, always, for what was right and good and eschewed the bad and immoral practices that would so have tempted a weaker and less honourable man.“From humble beginnings Justice Oluwa rose, through hard work and single-minded dedication, to the pinnacle of the legal profession, distinguishing himself at every stage of his meteoric rise through the ranks of the profession.
“His example taught those that came after how not to allow sentiment, fame or fortune becloud their judgment. He refused to pervert the course of justice and always followed the law without fear or favour. His many achievements on the bench and in retirement stand as a testament to his supreme character, integrity, courage, candour and dedication to the protection of the common man and the advancement of the Nigerian state.
