It is unfortunate that the most important statement made so
far at the on-going Annual Conference of the Nigeria Bar Association, an
outright derogation of the supremacy of the rule of law, has not yet generated
any coherent response from either the Bar or the Bench.
President Muhammadu Buhari was guest of honour on Sunday at
the NBA Conference and he had the additional responsibility of declaring the
Conference open. In his address, he told the gathering of eminent lawyers and
judges that his administration will prioritise national security over and above
the rule of law.
