President-elect of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, has pledged to resign if credible proof surfaces that the election which brought her into office was manipulated.
Speaking during an interview on TVC News on Thursday, Badejo-Okusanya dismissed allegations by some contestants and members of the legal profession that the 2026 NBA presidential election was rigged in her favour.
She maintained that the electronic voting process underwent extensive public scrutiny and showed no indication of electoral malpractice.
“The process that they say they cannot trust, my opponents are saying that it was rigged in my favour and thankfully, this electoral process has come under the greatest scrutiny that any of our elections have come under since we started universal suffrage and electronic voting,” she said.
According to the senior advocate, the voting pattern remained consistent throughout the exercise, with no irregularities such as sudden surges in votes that could indicate manipulation.
