ADC crisis: NBA vows to sanction lawyers filing suits on party disputes

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) warned it will take disciplinary action against lawyers who file lawsuits aimed at involving the judiciary in internal disputes within political parties. In a statement, the association expressed concern over a growing trend of legal practitioners and courts becoming entangled in intra-party matters, in violation of the law. The NBA emphasized that the law explicitly prohibits courts from entertaining cases related to the internal affairs of political parties, stating that such practices could undermine democratic processes.
