THE Nigerian Bar Association – NBA, plans a petition to take disciplinary action against the embattled Resident Electoral Commissioner – REC, of Adamawa State, Hudu Yunusa-Ari.
Yari, himself a lawyer, is currently being investigated for his role in the controversial declaration of Aishatu Dahiru of the All Progressives Congress – APC, as the winner of the April 15 supplementary governorship election.
The Chairman, Section of Public Interest and Development – SPIDEL, of NBA, Monday Ubani, said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, that the association A is planning to take a petition against the REC as a member of the Bar.
“This is one of the suggestions that were made; that a body like the NBA should not allow such a man who brought what I would consider a national disgrace to the NBA to go scot-free,” he said.
Ubani noted that there is a need to follow up on the matter to see to the conclusion of the anomalies.
“If he is innocent, let us be told that he is innocent. If he is not innocent, then the next thing that should follow is prosecution. This is because it sends the right signal that we are a nation that wants to protect our integrity,” he said.
