The African Democratic Congress has accused authorities of exercising selective justice in cases involving two prominent members, Abubakar Malami and Nasir El-Rufai.
The party stressed that while no one is above the law, legal enforcement must remain fair and free from political bias.
In a statement on Tuesday, ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi said the party had been closely observing the unfolding developments.
He argued that democracy is undermined when legal proceedings appear inconsistent or influenced by political interests.
Malami, the former Attorney-General of the Federation, is currently in custody facing allegations of money laundering and financial misconduct during his tenure.
A Federal High Court in Abuja recently ordered that he and his son be remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre, while his wife was sent to Suleja.
They have pleaded not guilty to charges that include the alleged mismanagement of roughly ₦800 billion in recovered funds. A bail hearing for Malami and his family has been scheduled for March 6.
El-Rufai is simultaneously under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, and the Department of State Services.
His legal challenges escalated following a February interview in which he admitted authorising the phone-tapping of National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.
The former Kaduna governor has since filed a ₦1 billion fundamental rights suit against the ICPC, challenging what he called an unlawful invasion of his Abuja residence.
The case was adjourned to March 11 after his legal team reportedly failed to serve the respondents.
The ADC insists that both Malami and El-Rufai are entitled to the presumption of innocence and due process as guaranteed under the Constitution.
The party affirmed its commitment to supporting its members, cautioning that justice must be administered not only fairly but also transparently, evenly, and without intimidation.
