NBA’s Protest Over Onnoghen Is A Mockery Of Legal Profession - NBA

-
Image
Femi Falana, human rights lawyer, says the directive of the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) for lawyers to boycott courts for two days in protest against the suspension of Walter Onnoghen as chief justice of Nigeria (CJN) is a mockery of the legal profession. NBA had on Monday announced this decision at its emergency national executive committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja. Lawyers were, however, divided over this directive, and while proceedings went on in some courts, others were empty. But speaking on Thursday at an interactive session organised by Citizen Forum in Lagos, Falana said the body of lawyers gave a wrong impression. “So much for the law, we also must proceed to challenge the legal profession. I am talking of the National Judicial Council (NJC) and the Nigerian Bar Association, for pretending that there was no problem,” he said. “Nigerians have to be very mindful of this dangerous precedent, dangerous phenomenon whereby people are charged with...

Saraki Won’t Return To Senate, APC Vows Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday said it had not given up on its belief that Senate President Bukola Saraki was a usurper who needed to vacate his position since he now belonged to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which is in minority at the Senate. The party also said it was confident that the forthcoming elections would dash Saraki’s hopes of returning to the Senate as the people of Kwara Central would reject him as their representative at the polls. Saraki was elected as Senate President in June 2015, much to the chagrin of the APC leadership which had pencilled down Senator Ahmed Lawan for the position. Several efforts by the party to remove him from the position have failed. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the APC National Chairman, has been at the forefront of Saraki’s removal since his defection to the PDP. He insisted that the position was for the APC, the party with majority members. On his pa...
