Mahmoud (SAN), on Monday inaugurated a five-man Electoral Committee
ahead of the association’s election this year.
The committee headed by Prof. Auwalu Yadudu (SAN), includes Mr.
Tunde Busari (SAN) (alternate chairman), Mr. Bolaji Agoro
(Secretary), Prof. Augustin Agom and Ms Gloria Ohia.
The inauguration took place at the NBA national secretariat in
Abuja.
The members were approved during the NBA National Executive
Committee (NEC) meeting held in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Prof. Agom replaced Mr. Tobias Kekemeke, whose nomination was
rejected by Bar leaders who accused him of supporting a
candidate.
The committee will conduct elections of national officers,
screen aspirants, circulate the list of properly nominated
candidates to all the branches and the candidates by e- mails, and
publish it on NBA website before the elections.
The committee is to publish a full list of all legal
practitioners who are qualified to vote before the date of the
elections and hear appeals, among others.
Yadudu vowed that the committee would discharge its duties in
accordance with the NBA constitution and “good conscience.”
