The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has reaffirmed its resolve to proceed with its 2026 national officers’ election on Saturday.
As part of its plans to ensure transparency in the process, the legal body, through its outgoing President, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, invited the Department of State Services (DSS), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to monitor the election, which will be conducted electronically.
Dismissing the insinuation that the electoral system was skewed in favour of a particular presidential candidate, Osigwe, SAN, said the legal body had opened its doors to scrutiny, adding that foreign organisations wishing to observe the election had been invited.
