‘There is No Crisis in NBA’, Promise Iwezor

A prominent member of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Dr Promise Wobo Iwezor, has disclosed that there is presently no crisis in the NBA, but rather an in-house misunderstanding which will soon be resolved. 

Dr Iwezor was speaking on the present NBA-SPIDEL crisis to a select group of journalists in Lagos during his private visit, and further maintained that all groups within the Association are under the national executive, which is under the leadership of the NBA President, stating that the President can not single-handedly take any decision against SPIDEL.

”The decision of the NBA President, is the position of NEC. He did not take an independent decision, because he set up a Committee to take over from them.”

The former Chairman of NBA, Isiokpo Branch, further maintained that all NBA forums are under the NBA President, and it is expected of them to seek the approval of the President in all they do.

Speaking on the low attendance of the NEC meeting in Jos, the former Member of the NBA Anti-Corruption Committee, stated that it has nothing to do with the current in-house crisis, but, rather, with the flight schedules to Jos. We are all aware of the current security crisis in the nation, and one clear fact is that there are no regular flights to Jos, and that is what affected the Jos NEC meeting attendance, it has nothing to do with the current NBA-SPIDEL crisis, Dr Iwezor further added.
