Former Minister of Education and activist Oby Ezekwesili, has withdrawn from the forthcoming NBA event coming up in Sokoto State.
Ezekwesili hinged her reason on the gruesome murder of Deborah Samuel, a female Christian student, who was burnt to death for alleged blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed.
The former minister who was billed to speak via, Zoom, urged NBA to seize this moment to reflect on how relevant its actions are in a troubled democracy.
She tweeted: “I have decided to withdraw my Speaking commitment to @NigBarAssoc for its event holding in Sokoto.
“I was billed to speak from abroad via Zoom but even now will no longer do so.
“NBA should seize this moment to reflect on how relevant its actions are in a troubled democracy.
“This would have been my session at the @NigBarAssoc conference in Sokoto:
“I shall no longer participate. NBA owes citizens like #DeborahSamuel #EuniceOlawale #BridgetAgbaheme the judicial activism to enforce Justice.
“It is not late. Start now @OlumideAkpata . Thank you.”
