The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has moved its 2025 Annual General Conference (AGC) from Port Harcourt in Rivers to Enugu.

The association premised its decision on “constitutional violations” in Rivers following the emergency rule in the oil-rich state.

The move comes weeks after President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers, citing a protracted political crisis and the vandalisation of oil facilities.

The NBA has described Fubara’s suspension as illegal and a “dangerous affront” to the country’s democracy.

In a statement on Friday, the NBA said although members were enthusiastic about hosting the AGC in Port Harcourt, the political climate in Rivers state quickly changed that.
