The Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (ECNBA) has foreclosed reopening of the verification process for eligible voters in the forthcoming NBA Elections, CITY LAWYER can authoritatively report.

Some stakeholders including one of the leading candidates for the position of General Secretary, Mr. Desmond Yamah, had called on the committee to extend the exercise to enable some eligible voters who are having challenges to verify their data.

But an unimpeachable source told CITY LAWYER that the verification exercise has been foreclosed, adding that the committee has moved on to the next stage of the electoral process.

Said the source, “No extension. We are in another phase of (verifying) accuracy of phone numbers and emails.”

It is recalled that the committee had in its last notice urged eligible voters to verify their details on the database, saying, “As a matter of urgency and importance, we are enjoined to make out time to get verified to enable us cast our votes at the upcoming National Elections of the NBA. The deadline for the Verification is today 27/6/2022.”

The election of NBA National Officers and representatives to the General Council of he Bar is scheduled to hold on Saturday, July 16, 2022.
