"As a nation, do we have a database? Because, for security forces to work, for the police to work, we need to have a database. If you go abroad and you commit an offence, it's easier for you to be identified. They get your face, fingerprints, signature, or your picture because they know everything about you. Do we have that? What is delaying us from putting that in place?" — Christopher Musa, minister of defence

"The politicians don't need our votes to get to power. Who do they need? The judges. That is why Nyesom Wike is building mansions for judges. That is why state governors are donating prados and land cruisers to judges across the states. That is why they're making sure judges are the best-paid people in Nigeria. Meanwhile, governors who cannot pay the minimum wage are feeding judges with the kind of money and emoluments you cannot add up." — Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, CGoF

"I did my job to the best of my ability. I am just thankful to God. It's been a very, very arduous and long, almost 11-year journey. It has been traumatic, not just for me, but for my family, my friends, and all those who have stayed and supported me. For my 93-year-old mother in Port Harcourt, for my son, and for all those who love us, it has been a hard journey. But I tell you this: God will always do as God wills, and God will be God." — Diezani Alison-Madueke, reacting to the UK court judgment exonerating her of bribery charges

"The reason Muslims get involved in politics is to get a just society. One of the proponents and advocates of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, who was celebrating it, was Nasir el-Rufai. He and his family are now crying for justice. That is the biggest irony you can have. Nobody was more of a supporter of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, celebrating it after the victory, than el-Rufai. Now, he can't get justice under his so-called Muslim-Muslim ticket." — Adewole Adebayo, SDP presidential candidate

"He has written an open letter to the president that he fears for his life. Someone has to be alive before justice is heard in his case and if he's not alive... I cannot reach my client, I have not seen him in over a month. It's sad, you know, but that is the reality of the situation." — Genesis Francis, counsel to PFIPC’s Adeniyi Adeyemi

"As I speak to you, states are rolling out preparations to deploy state police. I have just one demand and one suggestion: Is it possible, or can the administration simply say, 'We will not deploy state police before the next election'? Because if you're rolling out state police between now and the next election, it is unrealistic." — Chidi Odinkalu 🎥: MIC ON PODCAST

"I was in South Africa for a wedding when the impeachment of Obasa commenced. I was confused when I returned. I saw my colleagues signing and I signed too thinking the order was from the presidency until the president called us to return the speaker which we did." — Desmond Elliot

“This land belongs to Julius Berger Plc, and when I looked at the records, 15 years ago they were given the property, and there was no development. I said, ‘Well, we want to build judges’ quarters, so give me this land.’ For 15 years, there was no development, so we took back our land. And all over social media, they were calling me a land grabber. I didn’t bother myself. I knew where I was going.”
