“We are set to go to the polls in about five weeks, to elect our representatives who will run the affairs of government, executive and legislative, for the next four years. For this purpose, we have the responsibility to provide guidance and leadership to the Nigerian people, from the point of view of our privileged position as members of the legal profession,” he said.
The NBA President recalled his inaugural address on August 26, 2022, where he noted that the legal profession has what it takes to precipitate the leadership that will bring the succour and freedom Nigerians deserve, and added that the body cannot afford to shirk from that responsibility. In that address, he was quoted to have said, “The need to continuously engage government at all levels is necessary to, amongst other things; generate discussions that will provide Nigerians with sufficient information to guide them in making their choice of persons to occupy elective offices in the upcoming general elections.
