NBA Rejects Alleged AGF Directive On 2026 Election
Tunde Bakare
The Nigerian Bar Association has rejected an alleged directive linked to the Attorney-General of the Federation over its 2026 national officers election.
The association said it is not under the control of the Federal Government and that only its National Executive Council can decide whether to postpone the election.
NBA President Afam Osigwe said the alleged intervention by Attorney-General Lateef Fagbemi was unconstitutional and could not override the association’s internal rules.
The dispute centres on the planned election of NBA national officers in 2026. The association said any change to the timetable must come through its own constitutional organs, not through an external instruction.
The reports did not include a fresh public response from the Attorney-General’s office to the NBA’s rejection.
