Following the reaction of EBONYI state governor to the judgement of a Federal High Court sacking him, his deputy and some legislators who decamped to the Apc from the PDP, the national leadership of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) has demanded "an immediate apology from H.E. Engr. Dave Umahi and a retraction of the comments he made against the person and judgement of the Hon Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court."
The President, NBA, Olumide Akpata, Esq in a statement issued in Abuja said "while the NBA has absolutely no interest in the outcome of the casein question and will continue to stay away from partisan politics, we will not sit idly by in the face of this unprovoked and totally unwarranted attack on the judiciary".
Oluwole Akpata said "we condemne without equivocation, Engr Umahi's unfortunate diatribe which, if it had emanated from an average litigant, would still have been regarded as shocking but coming from one who occupies the exalted office of a state Governor, is nothing short of a National embarrassment".
EBONYI state governor, H.E. Engr Umahi was credited to have said oncomplementary statement in his reaction to the judgement sacking him for cross carpeting while in office.
