Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dele Adesina has described the recently concluded presidential election of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) as lawlessness and gross violation of the Association’s constitution. “If the election process is wrongful and unconstitutional, the outcome must suffer the same fate and be cancelled” He said. “As at today, a criminal action arising from the NBA Election of 2018 is still pending at the Federal High Court. The time has come to regain the integrity of the Nigerian Bar Association by putting an end to unconstitutional and fraudulent elections in our Association” Adesina stated. In the same vein, A pan-Yoruba lawyers association, Egbe Amofin also rejected the online polls of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) that produced Olumide Akpata as the President-elect of the Association.
