Just as a group of over 500 Lawyers protested in Abuja recently, over the insults and accusations being thrown at Nigerian Judges and the Judiciary, a group of Lawyers and other Professionals, under the aegis of “The Defense of Lawyers” have raised their voices over the comments made allegedly by Hon. Dachung Bagos that, Hon. Pwajok (SAN) was responsible for the lack of structure of the Plateau State chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).
The group led by Mr. Emmanuel Goshen in a press statement he personally signed and made available to REALITY stated that they would not have interfered with the internal issues rocking the PDP chapter in Plateau State, but for the continual dehumanization and trampling on the successes of Plateau people by “Bad election losers like Hon. Dachung Bagos”.
“It is not for us to pursue a case of slander for the Learned Silk, Hon. Edward Pwajok (SAN), over the unfortunate and irresponsible comments made about him by Hon. Dachung Bagos, while reacting and fielding answers to questions on Channels TV Program, “Sunrise Daily”. Our intention is to stop people like Hon. Bagos from pulling down successful Plateau People like Edward Pwajok (SAN) because of his ignorance”.
“Hence we asked, whether Hon. Bagos was talking recklessly of the Edward Pwajok (SAN) that we know?”
The group which stated that they came into existence, to stop the present drift of politicians and political parties from dragging the good image of Plateau people and the State in the mud, added that “The ignorance displayed by Hon. Bagos, easily indicates that he was only a celebrity in the Plateau chapter of the PDP rather than being an active member. This is because, if he was, he would have been told by the PDP State Legal Adviser, Hon. Binchen Jantur (Esq) that he (Jantur) had confessed to the National/State Houses of Assembly Tribunal while under Cross-Examination that the Learned Silk, Hon. Edward Pwajok (SAN), did advise the chapter to respect the Judgment delivered by the Plateau State High Court, presided over by Hon. Justice Gang in 2020 and also comply”.
The group stated that “Bagos has also helped the People of Plateau State to understand and know that the PDP does not actually have a structure in the state, but instead of blaming the party and himself who had benefited from the contributions of Hon. Pwajok (SAN) to the party and the state at large, he took a diversion to play the pull-him-down politics on the program”.
Adding that, “Hon. Bagos needs to be educated to know that, as a Lawyer, Edward Pwajok (SAN) is qualified to represent anybody or institution in Court as a Counsel and not limited to the PDP”.
The group, which took several pages of its press statement to exhibit the huge achievements of Hon. Edward Pwajok (SAN), called on Hon. Dachung Bagos to tender an unreserved apology to Hon. Pwajok (SAN) for his slanderous comments.
