BENIN—AFRICAN Bar Association, ABA, has promised to partner the administration of the president-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, in the realization of his mandate to rescue the country from the shackles of corruption and ineptitude that had pervaded the affairs of the Nigerian state in the past.

In a congratulatory message by its President, Hannibal Uwaifo, the association said that Gen. Buhari can count on its support at international fora in his resolve for global reformation and identity.

It added that it would ensure that the voice of his government was projected always in the propagation of the fundamental dictates of law and justice.
