The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA Y.C. Maikyau SAN has reacted to the resignation letter of foremost Human Rights Activist and member of Electoral Committee of the NBA Prof Chidi Odinkalu.

Prof Odinkalu had in a letter to the NBA President tendered his resignation from the ECNBA citing sundry irregular actions of the NBA under Maikyau SAN and particularly accusing the NBA President of refusing to honour two contractual agreements entered by the Olumide Akpata Leadership of the NBA with both Election Management company and Data Management company. Odinkalu pointed out the adverse effect the mismanagement of the NBA relationships with the partners will have on the integrity of future elections of the NBA.

In a reply shared on twitter by the Learned Professor, NBA President didn’t challenge or counter the accusations in the resignation letter but thanks the Professor for his selfless service to the NBA.

The NBA President also asked the Professor to note that the NBA under his watch is a responsible organization that will always honour its financial and contractual obligation but he will not allow anybody to stampede of blackmail the NBA into abandoning its own internal mechanism for verifying requests for payments.
