We will recall that no person was elected into that office at the end of the NBA National Officers election held in July, 2016. According to him the appointment was a clear justifiable exercise of the Constitutional power of NEC to make such appointment where there is a vacancy. “What the NBA President did on Friday was merely to swear him in so he can assume the powers and functions of the office”he said. “I felt I should make this clarification to dispel the wrong impression that the President made the appointment or that the appointment is not in line with NBA constitution.” Thenigerialawyer recalls that Sammy Etuk Esq. Condemned the appointment of Waziri Esq that the action of AB Mahmoud is illegal, as he acted ultra vires. His position was predicated on two grounds; being that the constitution of the association makes provision for election of officers into the executive council and the association has a duly elected subsisting assistant publicity secretary in the person of Chukwuemeka Mbamala who is constitutionally vested with powers to act in the absence of the publicity secretary. Since, the position of publicity secretary of the association has remained vacant after the flawed general elected, the legal thing to do is for the assistant publicity secretary to carry out the duties and functions of office of the publicity secretary]]>
