…Calls for stronger engagement on electoral law
By Daniel Abia, Port Harcourt
The Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, Dr Chidi Julius Lloyd, has criticised the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) over the invitation of social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), to speak at its ongoing 66th Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt.
Lloyd, a former law lecturer at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, described the invitation as inappropriate, arguing that the NBA’s annual conference should prioritise serious legal discourse and issues affecting Nigeria’s justice and democratic systems.
