A presidential candidate in the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) election Dr Babatunde Ajibade (SAN) has congratulated Olumide Akpata on his victory.
He polled 9,891 votes, representing 54.3 per cent of the votes cast.The election was by electronic voting and held for 24 hours from 11pm on Wednesday.
It represents a revolutionary break from the status quo, partly made possible by the introduction of a universal suffrage in which young lawyers made their number count, as against an electoral college system. “It is unfortunate that the process leading up to and during the election itself has, once again, not been devoid of controversy.
“I remain resolute in my belief that we cannot succeed in addressing the challenges confronting our profession unless we unite and I urge the incoming President and his executive to take deliberate and proactive steps to unite the Bar.”
