Oby Ezekwesili, former minister of education and BBOG convener, has withdrawn from speaking at the conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) scheduled to hold in Sokoto.
Ezekwesili announced her withdrawal on Friday via Twitter, saying she would be boycotting the event in protest against the killing of a student Deborah Samuel in Sokoto for alleged blasphemy.
The annual NBA conference is scheduled to hold from Sunday, May 22 to Thursday, May 26, 2022.
“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,” the former presidential aspirant noted.
