Friends of one of the Aspirants (Alex Muoka) for the office of the General Secretary in the forthcoming general election, have disassociated Muoka from the online poll currently going on.

This is pursuant to the guidelines provided by the Election Committee of the NBA (ECNBA), restricting Aspirants from engaging in any form of the campaign when the ban has not been lifted by the Committee.

Friends of Alex Muoka disclosed this on Thursday night,  to TheNigerialawyer(TNL) following an Online Facebook Poll that was launched by Steve Sun for Aspirants contesting for the office of the General Secretary.  

In the statement, it noted that the reason for the withdrawal is based on a call to respect constituted authority.

The statement reads “Our attention has been drawn to the proposed 3rd Online Poll for the office of the NBA General Secretary by the Steve Sun led Nigerian Bar Association Members Facebook Group. It will be recalled that our Alex Muoka won the first two Polls by the same Group conducted earlier this year- clearly indicating the goodwill he enjoys with a large number of Nigerian lawyers. 

“With the recent release of the ECNBA’s Guidelines for the 2020 NBA National Officers Elections and the restrictions it imposes on campaigning by aspirants, we are compelled to announce that Alex Muoka will NOT participate in the said online poll. 

The statement further stated that this decision is necessitated by the need to respect the authority and guidelines of the ECNBA in following the published rules of the 2020 electoral contest, and has been communicated to the organiser of the Poll.

“Our Alex Muoka has submitted his nomination papers to contest for the office of General Secretary of the NBA in the 2020 NBA National Officers Elections and is focused on preparations for the actual polls slated to hold on the 24th and 25th of July, 2020. 

We, therefore, urge all our supporters NOT to partake in the Facebook online polls and rather direct their energies and time to mobilising for the real contest,” the statement concluded.
