I understand it if Buhari is heartless
he was in the military he witnessed the massive slaughtering of
South Easterners (a region deliberately impoverished) in that genocidal war and
probably participated in it. He contested some elections and won one though
through ballot and blood. His life of bloodiness.
AB Mahmoud (SAN) ’s heartlessness is
beyond comprehension. Here is a tall Nigerian Lawyer beneath the
gentlemanly poise of a man who had no chance of winning the NBA
presidential elections but for some of us who aided his initially lackluster
campaign. However he ‘beat’ JK Gadzama SAN.
In March 2017 a Federal High Court Judge
voided NBA Constitutions specifically the 2015 Constitution but
preserved the 2001 Constitution. The court held that everything done under the
Constitution is null and void including ABM’s election 2016. His regime
having being de-legitimized he organized an appeal. This week the appeal was
entered and an appeal number assigned as I hinted in my post yesterday.
To date there has been no order
for stay of execution of Justice Tsoho’s orders. The authorities say
unless you obtain an order for stay of execution the judgment may be enforced.
Because Lawyers loath the NBA splitting, the BoT opined
that the judgment of Tsoho J be not enforced and that ABM be allowed to
continue and complete his term in 2018 but that NBA 2015 Constitution
would NOT apply.
2015 Constitution is a BAD
instrument with too many hidden clauses that makes it impossible
for NBA to have a transparent election under electronic voting
system. Because inter alia accreditation of voters is fraught with
irregularities whereas e-voting is usually transparent - as you are casting
your ballot it is reading on a counter and the database is open and transparent.
We don’t want the 2015 Constitution. There is absolute need to re-work
the NBA Constitution and remove the mischief embedded in it.
Next ABM approves an astronomical hike
in 2017 conference fees with a bogus decree compelling Lawyers to pay for tablets
when not in a military regime. The NBA young lawyers complained against it, the
host branch has complained against the AGC and senior lawyers
complained against the hike. ALL complained that they have no access to the
type of funds Mahmoud and his friends are looking for.
Remove the astronomical fees and
revert to the 2016 conference fees – stop comparing IBA conference fees with
NBA’s being poles apart. The learned children of ordinary parents
petitioned against the hike and he is not listening to the cries of children
whilst he holds his own learned child(ren), privileged.
Silk ABM NBA peace meeting
please to agree on venue/date and time.
Power points of a workable draft
Constitution (NEW) ought to read.
The lawyers peace meeting to hold
in a venue convenient to the bar leaders; let’s say if they decide to meet at
buffet lunch in say for example Hilton or wherever is safe in
Abuja Lagos – Go Dutch.
