President Tinubu’s pardon of the Ogoni Nine marks a profound moment of justice and national healing. It recognizes that their execution was a grave wrong and restores dignity to heroes who gave their lives for truth and environmental justice. This bold act is not just a correction of history — it is a celebration of courage, conscience, and overdue redemption.
President Tinubu's pardon of the Ogoni Nine, largely a symbolic act, stops far short of true justice. It wrongly suggests guilt where there was none. Without full exoneration and a formal repudiation of their sham convictions, the stain of injustice remains. Only a clear acknowledgment of innocence and corporate accountability can begin to heal what history so grievously scarred.
