The Nigerian Bar Association has withdrawn its invitation to Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai as one of the speakers in its forthcoming conference.
The announcement was made via the association's Twitter handle, days after some lawyers protested against the inclusion of the Kaduna state Governor in NBA's speakers' list.
Recall that a lawyer, Usani Odum spearheaded the online petition to stop the governor from attending the Annual General Conference and it has garnered over 3,000 signatures.
In a seperate letter titled ‘Request to Withdraw the Offer of Platform
at the 2020 Annual General Conference of the NBA to Mallam Nasir
el-Rufai’ and signed by Silas Onu and Auta Nyada, 10 allegations against
el-Rufai and his son Bello were listed. The allegations bordered on his
alleged poor human rights record and inability to stop the killings in
the state he governs, particularly in southern Kaduna.
The tweet which confirmed withdrawal of the invitation to Governor El-Rufai read;
“The National Executive Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association at its ongoing meeting resolves that the invitation to the Kaduna State Governor, H.E. Nasir El-Rufai by the 2020 Annual General Conference Planning committee be withdrawn and decision communicated to the Governor.”

Good.. An Extremist is not suppose to be in such gathering.. Mallam na Mallam
The removal of El-Rufai's name should not be seen as 'hatred' or 'sentimental' call; rather, a wake up signal to all those in authority never to undermine majority opinion on critical national issues, as we all are stakeholders in the Nigerian State and her leadership. We must at every point, demand for societal virtues in leadership, irrespective of who is involved.. long live the NBA
Good step in the right direction... we will get there someday... Hell rufai boko haram sponsor with his imbecile son that was conceived after elrufai dipped his penis in kerosene and ass-raped his nomadic bride should have no say amongst learned humans...Period
Common sense prevails
Good riddance... What is he going there to say self??? A governor that has been a disappointment in terms of parenting.
El-rufai is a sore taste in every aspect. Wife and children nko???tueh!!!
I WONDER WHAT HE WAS GOING TO BE SPEAKING TO THEM ON. IS IT THE MANY INJUSTICE,THE MANY DISREGARD TO THE RULE OF LAW AND COURT ORDER,OR IS IT THE MANY KILLINGS IN HIS STATE. WHY WAS HE LISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE,WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO OFFER TO SUCH A GATHERING. IS IT LOOTING AND CORRUPTION. SMH
This is the best news in a long time . Responsive NBA executive . Super impressed
Nigeria is moving forward! We are opening up.... we will become brave like Mali. Gandollar you will meet your day
Thank God
Nice decision
Good,way to go.lets blacklist all this evil politicians
GOOD LET EL RUFAI GO TO HELL
That’s some Good News... Use your time to fix your Territory and Family Sir..
THIS SHORT ENGIN HAS BECOME A REJECTED SOUL, SINCE HE CAN'T SAVE LIVES THAT ARE CRYING OUT IN HIS STATE.
A very good development.
Best news today
Very good
Seems like the new NBA President has a good head on his shoulders. Nice work.
Very good!!! The El-rufia family are bad role models for anyone especially lawyers
Good! Whoever made the initial decision to make el-haram keynote speaker should be investigated and sanctioned.
Shame on corrupt SANs and judges, see what young lawyers with integrity were able to achieve. Kudos to you all. We will get our revolution soon. Change starts with us.
Dude, you couldn't have said it any better !!!
He is not fit for such invitation.
I love this, we will get there by force by fire in making Nigeria a saner clime where people's utterances/actions must be backed with consequences. All this attitude of "we are the one in power", "Na we dey run the show", Nothing go happen" must stop. All government officials must be accountable for their actions, most of the impunity they enjoy must be reviewed.
Exactly. This is what I expect the lawyers in this country to be doing. Ginger the masses to fight for their right. You people should begin to speak up actively and help fellow Nigerians out of this mess we are in. It is you people that know the nuances of the law and know how to navigate it to get what you want. Do it wisely. I see no reason why we would have the calibre of lawyers we have in this country, and police will just be arresting,harrasing and molesting people anyhow with no repacaution. Somebody will be arrested for no reason and they'd refuse the person their right to make a phone call because they want to extort the person. All these human right cases are things that should not be tolerated.
NBA withdraws invitation to El-Rufai as speaker in forthcoming conference because they want nothing to do with the commander of BOKO HARAM terrorists. Genocidal manic El-Rufai is a terrorist and a disgusting and reprehensible murder. Thunder fire El-Rufai. He will be jailed for the killings he and his gang committed.
Nice one,how wish Nigeria's will seat up and handle things like this.
Shame on him
Good
Good hellrufai, the head of the gnome family is a terrorist
The body bag short man devil is a bastard
Best news of the day, bigotry fool.
Good, very good shame and disgrace follow him and his family
Bravo👏🏽👏🏽
Nonsense! So its fault of the governor that there re killings in Kaduna state? People who re not in kaduna state re busy spreading false narratives,may God help us!
Nice one 👍
Good development.
Power to the people
Had been this kind if a thing use to happen in other parastatals nigeria would have been a good nation
For NBA to have played to the gallery will have itself to blame in near future. Whatever reason you adduced to withdraw his invitations is a mere conjecture as no court has ever found him culpable nor his son. NBA should know that they have played into wrong hands and troubled water. Mark my word. He will take a pound of flesh with spilled of .......
This kind of narrative amazes me, he will take his pound of flesh that what? So u need a court to confirm that he made the body bag statement or that he said he paid Malians to stop attacking KD or what? Or that he caused people to be held in custody and they were later freed by the court? I dont seem to see your point.
This is his boko son writing. Nothing go happen my friend, shut up your smelling mouth there joor
A pound of flesh how now? you are part of the problem, we are talking about morality you are saying he hasn't been found guilty! did you not read NBA'S citation? hIs human rights record is poor?
Good decision by the Nigeria Bar Association.
Sounds good
Excellent
Perfect 👌🏽
Aiit and hope y'all wailing wailers are happy now? Blacks just laothe themselves and it's baffling
You are son of a bastard mother . Stinking fool
Well supported, let he learn to govern his state first because Kaduna is on fire right now. Please, Mr. Governor, take care of your state. Bravo to NBA!
Governing his state is an extreme measure. Let him learn to govern his family first. I guess the el-rufai family are the most terrible I have come across all my life. From father to mother to children . Each is a bag of stinking shit! Once they open their mouths, they ooze nothing else but stench! Disgusting midgets!
It's a good decision.
Despicable man with a terribly mannered wife and revolting vile cretinous sons.
Well done sirs
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💃💃💃💃
ha, ha, ha la, la, la!
Nice one
Great job NBA!
The NBA should also ensure that the Honourable minister of Justice and attorney general of the federation @Malamigate and @LaiMohammed are not allowed to speak due to their shoddy performance in the present government especially with regard to the controversial hate speech fine of ₦5 million
To hell with the shitty nba conference.Rufai reamains the best nigerian gov ever/
he is an evil genius...
Weldone NBA,this man is a terrorist. Shikena
History will not forget NBA for this wise decision taken.
El rufai is a monster.
Excellent decisions. clap clap clap
Good job, mr loud mouth oya face your state.
