Clarifying the Federal Government’s stand in Abuja, Spokesman of the ministry, Dr Clement Aduku, restated that just as the Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama,Nigeria and other African countries like Zambia, Tanzania, Liberia and Botswana, believe that the court has an important role to play in holding leaders accountable, hence Nigeria fully stands by it.
The African Union had in January during plenary at the 28th AU Summit in Addis Ababa called for collective withdrawal of its members from the Court, arguing that African countries were not fairly treated by the court.
Responding to the call, Onyeama said Nigeria did not subscribe to strategy adopted by AU for collective withdrawal from the ICC.
