He warned all the lawyers involved in the election petition to conduct themselves in accordance with the ethics of the profession.

According to Aganaba, “as you see these politicians they are all friends jumping from one party to another.

“We the lawyers should be cautious not to get too much involved and be left stranded at the end of the day creating enmity between ourselves the lawyers.”
