The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) wants Pauline Tallen, the Minister of Woman Affairs and Social Development, to withdraw her comments on a judgement of the Federal High Court and tender an apology within seven days.
NBA in a letter by its President, Yakubu Maikyua said the Minister’s statements were aimed at maligning the integrity of the Court and thereby bringing it to disrepute and incite the public against the Judiciary.
NBA advised the minister to appeal the decision of the court and refrain from using derogatory language in reference to the court.
Recall that the Minister had described as Kangaroo Judgement, the ruling of the court in a suit between Nuhu Ribadu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), which held that the Adamawa State APC governorship primary election, which took place on 26 May 2022, was invalid having been conducted in violation of the Electoral Act 2022 and APC’s constitution and guidelines.
