The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to fight corruption in the country in accordance with the law.
The comment made by NBA President, Augustine Alegeh during the opening ceremony of the association’s 56th annual conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State
.
“We
stand with the government in its fight against corruption; we recognize
that our country is bedeviled with corruption, but we believe that
corruption should be fought according to the law,” Alegeh said.
“Any
attempt to fight corruption with backhand tactics will mean using
corruption to fight corruption. If the fight against corruption is to
collect what belongs to one man and give it to another man, then count
us, the NBA out,” Alegeh added.
Also in attendance at the event was Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike who is also the Chairman of the Local Organising Committee of the NBA conference.
