He argued that the judiciary is being instrumentalized in El-Rufai’s case and that he should be allowed basic constitutional guarantees as a Nigerian citizen.
Speaking in an interview on Mic on Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye, Odinkalu made this assertion while discussing El-Rufai’s situation, saying he doesn’t want to discuss it because the issues involve justice and how it is administered.
He acknowledged that many people view El-Rufai’s prosecution as deserved karma, comparing it to the former Code of Conduct Tribunal chairman who used a questionable order to remove the Chief Justice in 2019.
