By Chris Ochayi

The Director General of the Renewed Hope Grassroots Movement, RHGM, Ambassador Isaac Chigozie Udeh has expressed shock over the death of the former Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Mohammed Uwais.

Ambassador Udeh in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen on Saturday in Abuja, describes Uwais death as a deep loss to the nation and his family.

According to him, “Uwais principled and visionary leadership as Chief Justice of Nigeria not only advanced the cause of justice but also set a benchmark for generations of legal minds to follow.

“It is with profound grief that I received the news of the passing of Justice Mohammed Uwais – an exceptional jurist, a revered elder statesman, and a shining beacon of integrity in Nigeria’s judicial history”

“Justice Uwais’s enduring legacy is profoundly etched in the annals of our nation’s jurisprudence” he stresses.

“His transition is a monumental loss, not only to his beloved family and the legal community, but to Nigeria as a whole – a country he served with uncommon dedication and grace throughout his distinguished career.”

Ambassador Udeh suggested that to meaningfully honour his memory, government should implement the recommendation of the Mohammed Uwais Report on Electoral Reform.

The statement explains further that the report encapsulated the late jurist’s deep commitment to democratic excellence and national progress.

“On behalf of the entire Renewed Hope Grassroots Movement family, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and indeed the entire nation”
