[News] Tinubu certificate: I am ashamed to see Lawyers on Television arguing on the merits or demerits of the Chicago State University matter – Former NBA President Olisa Agbakoba

Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Olisa Agbakoba, has said he is ashamed to see Lawyers on Television arguing one way or the other on the merits or demerits of the Chicago State University certificate of President Tinubu.

In a post shared on his X handle this morning October 9, Agbakoba argued that everyone should wait for the Supreme court to decide on controversy surrounding the certificate of President Tinubu.

His post reads;

‘’THIS MADNESS OF CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY MUST STOP NOW!!!

 

The cacophony of discordant voices on Tinubu/Atiku over the certificate matter is completely out of hand. This utter nonsense from armchair lawyers is heating up Nigeria dangerously.

 

Please can we keep our opinions and views to ourselves awaiting a decision of the Supreme Court.

I am so ashamed to see Lawyers on Television arguing one way or the other on the merits or demerits of the Chicago State University matter. This is most unhelpful!

 

I call out all media that tolerate this nonsense of adjudicating the CSU matter on TV and Newspapers.

 

I urge the President of the Nigerian Bar Association to call out lawyers that breach rules of ethics by turning the media into a Court of Law.

 

Can we please stop heating up our country!!! Let us allow the Supreme Court of Nigeria to make a judicial pronouncement which is binding on us all!!!! This public nonsense must stop.”
