Saraki petitions LPPC against Kwara attorney general’s nomination for SAN rank

“I firmly state that the attitude, official conduct and apparent professional desperation of the applicant for the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Senior Sulyman Ibrahim, fall far below the high standards of integrity, honour and professional ethics required of any legal practitioner worthy of elevation to the Inner Bar,” Mr Saraki stated in the affidavit.“I state categorically that the attitude, official conduct and apparent professional desperation of the applicant, Senior Sulyman Ibrahim, Esq, (the current Attorney General of Kwara State), completely fall short of the high standard of integrity, honour, and professional ethics,” Mr Saraki wrote in his petition.

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has petitioned the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC), urging it to deny the state’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Sulyman Ibrahim, the prestigious rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) over allegations of abusing his office’s prosecutorial powers to pursue politically motivated criminal cases.
