Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has urged the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) to not allow ethnic and religious bigotry to tear it apart.

Abdullahi Ganduje recently revealed this in a statement by Malam Muhammad Garba, the state’s Commissioner of Information.

According to him, the NBA is supposed to champion the cause of the rule of law, so the recent sad trends from the association must stop.

He added that even if there will always be differences, it is better to be united than to be divided as a group that shapes public policy.

His words, “While there are bound to differences, it is better to be united than to be divided, as a conventionally persuasive opinion moulder and group that helps shape public policy, it is never going to fulfil that role if it is divided.

“No one expects the NBA to be invulnerable to bickering associated with any group of people coming together, but as a body of lawyers with outstanding record of achievements in shaping the country for good, it should not allow ethnic or religious sentiments to riven it.”
