The NBA President, Augustine Alegeh, who made this remark Sunday night, explained that any attempt by government to fight corruption with backhand tactics would mean using graft to fight graft.
Alegeh, who spoke at the opening of the 56th annual conference of the association with the theme, ‘Democracy and Economic Development, pointed out that the NBA was standing with the Federal Government in its fight against corruption.
He, however, added that the association would not support any act of taking what belonged to a man and give it to another man.

The NBA president criticised the delivery of contrasting judgements by the judiciary on similar matters, adding that the association was embarrassed by the development.
Alegeh called on relevant authorities in the judiciary to address the issue, describing it as a shame to the third arm of government.
In his remark, the Rivers State Governor and Chairman, Local Organising Committee of the NBA conference, Nyesom Wike, says though Nigeria was practising democracy, it would not amount to prosperity without work.
Wike lamented that the country was still lagging behind economically despite its economic potential.
Earlier, the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, had explained that his administration had banned street begging in the state, adding that his government had improved the lives of the people in the area of agriculture, health and education.
