Nigeria Bar Association charge election petitions tribunals’ judges

Mr. Joseph Daudu (SAN), the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), on Tuesday urged election petitions tribunal judges to be fair in the dispensation of justice.

He made the appeal at a day seminar organized by the International Foundation for Electoral System (IFES) in Abuja.

“The significance of this seminar is to understand the principles and philosophy behind election dispute resolution and to achieve post-election harmony in the country,” Daudu stated.

Daudu urged the judges to diligently ensure that all legal disputes were disposed within short time, to enable the country move forward, even as he challenged the Disputes Resolution Agency (DRA) to create the enabling environment for peaceful resolution of election cases.

According to him, DRA had a very critical role to play in resolving election matters.
