NBA 2018 Election: I’ve no Preferred Candidate – A. B. Mahmoud
Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) president Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN) has said he has no preferred candidates for the association’s elective positions.
Speaking at a meeting of the Arewa Lawyers Forum (ALF), he said all the candidates would get equal treatment.
Mahmoud said ALF was key to the welfare of lawyers of Northern extraction, and can only achieve its objectives if there is peace among members.
He urged members to avoid issues that tend to cause division but to come together as brothers because unity is the key to prosperity.
Mahmoud, whose tenure ends in August, informed the ALF that he has no preferred candidates in the forthcoming NBA election.
He said he had directed NBA Electoral Committee to disqualify any candidate who runs foul of the rules.
Mahmoud frowned at a situation where some go about dropping his name and claiming that he is supporting their ambition.
He stated that his ultimate goal was to deliver a credible, free and fair election for the association.
ALF, at the meeting held in Kaduna, elected a caretaker committee to manage its affairs in the interim.
Members are Mr. Elisha Kurah (SAN), Liman Salihu, Fatima Mohammed, Rabiatu Musa and Mohammed Mongonu.
The committee is to manage the affairs of the association until it conducts its election immediately after the NBA election in July.
