Governor El-Rufai reacts to NBA's decision to withdraw his invitation - Edoman - 08-21-2020 Governor El-Rufai reacts to NBA's decision to withdraw his invitation to their annual general meeting Kaduna state governor, Nasir el-Rufai, has reacted to the decision of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), to withdraw an invitation previously extended to him to speak at its annual general meeting. NBA withdrew the invitation following an outcry by some lawyers who said the governor stands against what the profession represents. In a statement released on Thursday August 20, by his spokesperson, Muyiwa Adekeye, Governor el-Rufai described the withdrawal of his invitation as an unfortunate embrace of injustice. He said he will continue to make his voice heard on the things the country needs to do to make progress. His statement in part reads Quote:“While the decision about who speaks at its event is clearly the NBA’s, Malam El-Rufai wishes to make clear that he did not seek the platform and is not agitated that he has one less speaking engagement,” the statement read. |
