Some Nigerian lawyers have taken to social media to protest against the inclusion of Governor Nasir El-Rufai in the list of speakers for an upcoming Nigerian Bar Association conference.
Some of the lawyers withdrew from participating in the conference over the killings in Southern Kaduna and some happenings in the state in general.
Here are some tweets below;
If you are a #NigerianLawyer & u believe @elrufai's credentials are #FitForPurpose say so
But If you don't think Gov @elrufai is a good advertisement for #PromotingRuleOfLaw, pls speak up & ask @NigBarAssoc to #CancelElRufai2020. Better still, u can de-register from #NBAAGC2020 pic.twitter.com/lyptNsUmeY

Some say @NigBarAssoc shd give @elrufai platform so lawyers can question or criticise him
See what's happened to his critics- @Audu; @dadiyata; @GMabeiam; @Kindusluka; @SegunOnibiyo; @SKefason
Will u be safe if u criticise him?#CancelElRufai2020https://t.co/QHtahoPFN5
