NBA IS ALL LAWYERS' PROPERTY; MONOPOLIZATION IS NOT A GOOD IDEA




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.
