A’COURT JUDGEMENT: APC LEGAL TEAM ACCUSES NNPP’s LAWYERS OF UNETHICAL CONDUCT
Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second
The All Progressives Congress (APC), Legal Team, has accused the 200 NNPP lawyers who convened a press conference in Kaduna, of unethical acts aimed at creating violence in the polity.
Recall that last week, some lawyers who identified themselves as Counsels to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) had met in Kaduna, accusing the Court of Appeal of a miscarriage of justice in its decision against Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf.
However, in response to that meeting, the APC Legal Team informed Newsmen on Wednesday in Kano that the NNPP lawyers’ actions were against the rules of law and the Principle of Justice.
Hadiza Nasir Ahmad the Secretary of the APC Legal Team, and Chairman Mustapha Idris both warned that any attempt to tarnish the Court’s image or resort to blackmail is unequivocally unacceptable.
They said, “The 200 Lawyers entangled in this controversy we implore you to rise above political machinations and permit the court to execute its duties without external interference”
Barrister Hadiza Nasir Ahmad hinted that Lawyers as guardians of Justice must preserve the integrity of the noble profession even when faced with unfavorable judgement, “we should collectively champion the rules of law and uphold the dignified essence of the legal system”.
The APC legal team is concerned, however, because the NNPP, its lawyers, and supporters are allegedly actively campaigning for a demonstration to protest the Court decisions.
“We recognize that these actions may be aimed at creating chaos in the state, with the primary goal of intimidating the Court and the Judiciary into granting judgement in their favour”.
She added, “Nevertheless, we have full confidence in the court’s unwavering commitments to conducting the case solely on its merit, undeterred by such tactics”.
The APC Legal Team commended the Kano people for refusing to be coerced into pointless street protests, stating that the people of the state are known for their law-abiding disposition.
