Engr. Dave Umahi, the Governor of Ebonyi State to the Judgment of the FHC Abuja which ordered him and his Deputy to vacate office. I also demanded an apology and a retraction of the comments,\u201d Akpata said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing that Statement, H.E. Engr. Umahi made extensive efforts to reach me and in the course of our conversation, I reiterated that the NBA has no interest in the case other than to ensure that the sanctity of the judicial system is protected &amp; the rule of law is respected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn line with our demands, H.E. Engr. Umahi addressed a cross-section of Ebonyi State citizens, where he unreservedly apologised for his comments, clarified his intentions, and very importantly too, called for calm while urging his people to refrain from denigrating the Judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will immediately transmit this apology to His Lordship, Hon. Justice Inyang Ekwo and My Lord the Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, who is the head of the Judiciary in Nigeria, and urge them to also accept same.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must however reiterate that there is a well-established procedure by law for challenging unfavourable decisions of courts of competent jurisdiction and the Nigerian Bar Association under my administration will continue to fulfil its mandate\u00a0by rising to the defence of the rule of law, the independence of the judiciary, and the sanctity of court orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akpata added that the NBA would allow the appeal process to take its course while it takes the back seat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olumide Akpata has stated that governor of Ebonyi, David Umahi has done the right thing by apologising for his outburst over a court judgement sacking him.
