The apology was presented on Friday by Kanu’s new lead counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, a former Attorney General of the Federation, to address the court over tensions in the legal proceedings.
In a statement issued on Friday evening, Lolo Uchechi explained that Chief Agabi’s intervention was necessary to resolve disputes that had emerged within certain segments of the Nigerian bar and bench, following Kanu’s legitimate but anger-fueled outbursts directed at Justice Binta Nyako’s court. These comments led to the recusal of Justice Nyako from Kanu’s case.
The statement, titled “Dignity in Justice Omotosho’s Court of the Federal High Court in Abuja,” emphasized the necessity of restoring decorum and balance to the judicial process.
Lolo Uchechi clarified that Chief Agabi’s actions were meant to smooth over the legal tension that had been created by Kanu’s angry remarks, and his efforts were aimed at ensuring proper legal decorum was upheld.
Part of the statement read: *“In court today, my husband, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, accepted the need for Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, the new lead counsel, to address the court of Justice James Omotosho on what transpired in Justice Binta Nyako’s court, which shook the foundations of the Nigerian judiciary.”*
The statement also noted that Justice James Omotosho, the presiding judge in the current proceedings, apologized to Nnamdi Kanu for the prolonged delays and mishandling of his trial over the years. This apology from the court acknowledged the hardship Kanu has endured throughout the legal process.
Lolo Uchechi went on to describe Chief Agabi’s strategic move as balancing Kanu’s justified fury with the dignity of the court. She stated that Agabi’s comments, made in his personal capacity, were focused on dialogue and a peaceful resolution.
In concluding the statement, Lolo Uchechi urged for careful consideration of the full statement before jumping to conclusions, highlighting Agabi’s vision for an amicable resolution to the ongoing legal challenges.
The developments reflect ongoing efforts to navigate the complex legal and political landscape surrounding Nnamdi Kanu’s trial, with a focus on restoring order and maintaining the integrity of the judiciary.

Panic-stricken Enugu APC begins flag-off of already flagged of roads in Nsukka after PDP’s Chijioke Ugwu’s homecoming
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, has flagged off the All Progressives Congress campaign in Agege Federal Constituency with a mega rally at Amoo Field, Orile Agege.
The rally, held on Wednesday, September 30, brought together APC leaders, party members, traditional and religious leaders, trade associations, artisans and representatives of different communities in the area.
Obasa, who is the APC candidate for the Agege Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, urged supporters to take the party’s campaign to homes, markets, artisan groups, places of worship and community associations ahead of the general election.
Addressing the gathering, he said the party should not be satisfied with a narrow victory but should seek to improve on its previous electoral performance.
“Let us join hands and make sure we deliver. It is not just about victory; we must surpass our previous votes. Sound it loud to everybody, all trade associations, artisans, tribes, religious and traditional leaders. We have the numbers, and we will pour it into the APC,” Obasa said.
He called on supporters to mobilise votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC governorship candidate in Lagos, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, the Lagos West senatorial candidate, Senator Idiat Oluranti Adebule, and himself in the Agege Federal Constituency.
Obasa said the campaign message should reach different sections of the constituency before election day, with supporters expected to engage residents and encourage them to participate in the electoral process.
He also described the turnout at the rally as an indication of support and cohesion within the party in Agege.
“Agege is always one. And we will continue to be one. There is nothing wrong with our party in Agege,” he said, while dismissing opposition voices and rumours about the party’s structure in the area.
The Speaker also urged party members and supporters to avoid conflict during the campaign, stressing that voters should be allowed to choose their preferred representatives.
“We must try to avoid conflict, because at the end of the day, the people will vote for their representatives, the people they truly want. Nobody can force anyone on the people,” he said.
Obasa’s remarks come as political parties intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the general election, with Agege remaining an important constituency in Lagos’s political landscape.
