NBA Election: Former CLA President Condemns Regional Endorsements, Backs Universal Suffrage

Mrs. Boma Alabi, a former President of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association, has spoken out against regional endorsements in the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) presidential elections, advocating for a more inclusive, universal suffrage system instead. Alabi's stance highlights a broader debate about fairness and representation within the legal profession, suggesting that limiting endorsements to specific regions could undermine the integrity and unity of the NBA. This critique comes amid growing calls for more democratic processes in professional organizations, emphasizing the importance of every eligible member's voice in shaping the future leadership of the legal community.
