President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Okey Wali, SAN, on Friday wrote the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim, to protest the allocation of only one delegate to the body in the forthcoming National Conference.
Wali said the NBA “will not accept” the one slot offered to it, and urged the SGF to reconsider the development.
The letter, dated January 31, 2014, was captioned “Re: Nomination of Nigerian Bar Association to the National Conference: A Letter of Protest.”
“We do not believe that the single slot given to the Nigerian Bar Association will be impactive enough, and so, we request that you please reconsider the one slot offer to the Nigerian Bar Association, as we regrettably will be unable to accept that offer,” the NBA president said in the letter.
Wali explained that the NBA was disappointed with the allocation of delegates.
