The Nigerian Bar Association has rejected reports suggesting that the 2026 NBA National Officers’ Election has been postponed, insisting that only its National Executive Council has the constitutional authority to suspend or alter the electoral process.
The association stated this in a statement issued by its President, Afam Osigwe, SAN on Tuesday in response to a document purportedly containing recommendations from a sub-committee and comments allegedly made by the Attorney General of the Federation, which reportedly directed the postponement of the election and other far-reaching changes to the NBA’s electoral process.
The NBA described the alleged directives as unconstitutional, saying the Attorney General lacked the legal authority to interfere in the affairs of the association.
