I'm guessing you are their lawyer or part of the team of lawyers.


Let them tell the judge at the court that the Sole Administrator is acting in ignorance.

The NBA has no shame. N300M of public funds for some lawyers to merry? How will the NBA extricate itself from the bad governance in the country? Why should the NBA hold such an extravagant and flamboyant conference annually at the expense of government funds? The money is nothing but a bride.
There is something called materiality in ethics, and N300M is material enough to be considered a bribe. The NBA could never have looked Fubara in the eye and told him he did something wrong after collecting the N300M. Politics apart, and if the issues between the Rivers gladiators are set aside, the people of Rivers should call for the head of both the giver and the receiver of the bride.
By the way, if the common people call the Rivers Government illegal, should a so-called ''learned profession'' do so without a court pronouncement that the Rivers Government is illegal? Anything to keep their loot.

Very shameless people.

Take a look at this:

I have read the views of some of my colleagues that the NBA should return the sum of N300 million donated to it by the legitimate Rivers State Governor for the 2025 Annual General Conference of the Bar, which was initially scheduled to hold in Rivers State in August this year. Some of my colleagues went further to argue that the NBA should not collect money from the government and that the NBA must be self-funding.

Okutepa just shot himself in the leg with the above bolded statement. He said the money was donated by the governor, SIM. If he's smart enough, he should have said the money was donated by the Rivers State government. Authority is vested in the person(SIM) and power is vested in the Office (Governor).
How much does SIM earn as salary if he's donating as an individual? A former accountant general of the state. There should be a clear line between donation as an individual or on behalf of the state.

In another related development, read the bolded statement below by Okutepa.

But before returning to this, let me repeat what I said earlier on this N300 million. I have expressed the view that—even if the N300 million given to the NBA by Governor Sim Fubara was for hosting rights, as claimed by the illegal and unconstitutional Sole Administrator of Rivers State—it would be unconstitutional and unlawful for the NBA to return the money to the Sole Administrator.


Opportunity makes a thief, a thief without opportunity considers himself honest. The money might be meant for hosting right and as a professional why not return the money to the CBN as one of his colleagues suggested a few days ago instead of politising the fund thus making it look like they're on SIM's side. It's not professional.

Smells like FAKE NEWS
I do not think any reasonable lawyer would want to go to court claiming illegality of the SOE as an argument point when the same court recognizes the SOE as constitutionally lawful. I think that's dumb. You will never win that case.
Secondly, look at the choice of words, sounds like someone who struggled to complete school at all levels.
Lastly, this news or article is not on the webpage of any reasonable media outlet. Did the author even refence the source of this??

Supported!

The old Military idiot who is sucking Wike’s testicles at old age has only 6 months to stay.

Let him and his fools sue NBA to High Court. They will still be filing process and 6 months will be here.

Immediately Fubara comes back to office, he will simply tell court that Rivers State is discontinuing the case.

Case struck out.

And everybody will go home.

Ronu maggots should find something else to masturbate about.

Then, call them out if you have evidence they spent public funds. I have condemned what has been established to be public funds doled out to NBA.
There are still people who have refused to take sides on the Rivers crisis.

Just a simple question....

So if and when the Sole Administrator takes them to the FHC in Abuja will the NBA coming to defend herself and tell the Court that the Sole Administrator is an illegitimate, illegal and an imposter representing the RSG and should be disregarded and the case thrown out for the SOLAD holds no place in the constitution of the FRN?
Yes.
