A former chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Olisa Agbakoba SAN, has expressed disgust with activities of some lawyers with regard to arguments over the President Bola Tinubu’s Chicago State University saga.
He warned that armchair lawyers are heating up the country dangerously.
The legal luminary in a post on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), on Monday, urged people to remain calm and await for the Supreme Court to decide the matter.
“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,” the former President, Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO) wrote.
“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.”
