About 500 people have signed a new petition asking the Nigerian Bar Association to remove Kaduna State Governor , Nasir el-Rufai , from the list of speakers in the upcoming Annual General Conference of the NBA .
This is just as some lawyers called on the NBA leadership to remove el -Rufai from the list of speakers due to his leadership failure in the wake up of the killings in Southern Kaduna as well as his human rights record.
The petition , which was started by Usani Odum , has garnered nearly 500 signatures barely hours after it was initiated.
The summary of the petition read , “ The senseless killings in southern Kaduna must stop . The political correctness of Governor El-Rufai on national TV is diversionary. It is a reversal to have him speak to lawyers on security, when Governor (Babagana) Zulum of Borno a better person can do so .
“ We may not be able to do anything to stop the killings, but we can stop the governor from speaking at the NBA -AGC to show our disapproval of the manner he has handled the situation !!”
Meanwhile , several lawyers have publicly indicated that they will not be attending the NBA conference if the leadership of the bar insists on el -Rufai .
In a letter, titled, ‘ Request to Withdraw the Offer of Platform at the 2020 Annual General Conference of the NBA to Mallam Nasir el -Rufai ’ , and addressed to the Chairman , Technical Committee on Conference Planning, NBA , Prof Koyinsola Ajayi , some lawyers said the governor must not be allowed to speak at the conference.
The letter , which was signed by Silas Onu and Auta Nyada, listed 10 allegations against el -Rufai and his son , Bello, who is a Special Adviser to Kaduna Central lawmaker, Senator Uba Sani .
The lawyers recalled that el-Rufai had during the run -up to the 2019 general elections threatened that any foreigner who interfered in the election would leave Nigeria in “ body bags ” .
They stated that several human rights groups had ranked el-Rufai low for his intolerance for the opposition .

Very very nice. Finally they will begin to see that there are still Nigerians with sense and gradually, they will start to know that you cannot fool all the people all the time!!

Hnnm
Thank God I'm not the only one asking what he was coming to do?

He's too controversial.. Nigeria will surely get to that stage where her leaders will be humbled

The revolution is brewing little by little.

Let's see...

Nice one!!
A terrorist has no moral grounds to address us

A Northern Governor as Commander of Boko Haram comes to mind

We need this type of solidarity protest from important pubic figures, elites, and right groups to expose all the enemies of state of the nation.. We can start with Buhari..

Solidarity protest is peaceful but very powerful tool to bring down any bad leader or government. Legally, it is has no loophole..

Way to go.

Anywhere you see el-rufai talking to 2 or more people, wickedness is being discussed.

Don't even go near buhari because he's the beloved Messiah of the yarribas.

If boko haram and herdsmen should wipe out the whole middlebelt, SS and SE, the yarribas have no problem as long as the lagos-ibadan railway is still in process.

A useless fool that went about paying killers, what does he have to say ?

Where do I sign?

Say NO to Hell Rufai

Malam Nasir El-Rufa'i has been controversial right from his days as Director, Bureau of Public Enterprise. Though, I never supported actions taken so far towards the incessant killings in Southern Kaduna, but the NBA are taken it too far by trying to demeaning this blunt man. Like it or not, he says it as seen irrespective of whose ox is gored. You can't just totally annihilate him without you having more knowledge towards the happenings in S/Kaduna since the early 80s. Hopefully, the perpetrators of all these issues will be clampdown and serves as deterrent to those evil people cashing out of the whole violence.

El-Rufai is a terrorist

useless petition from the group of useless lawyers, were they not present at the event where bullhari told them (NBA) that national security supercede law?what did they do?they have lost the respect I have for them since that day toothless bulldogs

I was just wondering what El-Rufai will be doing in a lawyer conference.

We Igbos love Buhari more. We see President Buhari as our Messiah.

Mtcheeeeew!

Just a handful of ipop PDP lawyers making noise online...

When there was killing in Benue State, these useless mofos blamed Buhari, but now the killing is in Kaduna, they want drag Elrufai into it, to further their hypocrisy...

Useless and idiotic IPOB Lawyers...

Imagine the effrontery?

El rufai has murdered sleep... Sleep has surely departed from him and his family.

I trust my Southern Kaduna brothers... Zango kataf and kada river encoré.

More strength to Zaman Lekwot, Obadiah Mailafia, John Danfulani and all the fighters of oppression in SK.

You shall see the end of your arch enemy.

This is where I will never forgive a part of the Yoruba elites.
Falana,Soyinka, Adeboye who were protesting and granting press release every day during Jonathan's time are all suddenly quiet.
