We were having a heated conversation at work about marriage and child bearing. I am the only one at work at the moment who's not married & without a child so people were piling on me. A 67yr old woman asked them, "What is a problem in the world to which marriage is the solution?"
LMFAOOOOO.
Walahiii, there was nothing shocking about it. It was very much expected. He didn't even lead for 1 Second. The Egbe Amofin drama, the Court Order and his seeming entitlement to the position was his major undoing.
Young Lawyers tilted towards Egbon Leteef SAN, Female Laweyers and others tilted towards Mrs. B, one of the major reason being that the Male Presidents that have been elected (asides Olumide Akpata) have not really been spectacular, so, why not see what a Woman has to offer us, afterall, Presidency isn't meant for men alone.
Aare losing the election was very much expected.
A BOLD MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE.
Today, I stand before you with a heart filled with profound gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility.
I am truly humbled by the confidence that members of the Nigerian Bar Association have reposed in me by electing me to serve as your President.
Thank you for believing in our shared vision of A BOLDER BAR THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. This victory is not mine alone; it belongs to every member who believed that our Association can be stronger, more inclusive, more responsive, and better positioned to serve the interests of all lawyers.
Over the past months, I had the privilege of travelling across our nation, engaging with colleagues in every state of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory. I listened to your hopes, your concerns, your aspirations, and your ideas. Those conversations shaped this campaign, and they will continue to guide my leadership.
I extend my sincere appreciation to every member who participated in this election, regardless of the candidate you supported. The election is over. We are one Bar, united by a common commitment to the advancement of our profession and the defence of justice and the rule of law.
I congratulate my fellow contestants for their commitment to our Association and for enriching this democratic process. I look forward to working with all of you as partners in building an NBA that reflects the very best of our profession.
To the BBOLD Campaign Council, our volunteers, coordinators, supporters, friends, colleagues, and every person who worked tirelessly, often behind the scenes, I cannot thank you enough. Your dedication, sacrifice, belief, and hard work made this journey possible. I am deeply grateful.
To my husband, thank you for your love, your sacrifices, your encouragement, and your unwavering belief in me throughout this journey. Your support, strength, and quiet confidence have meant more than words can express. I am deeply grateful to have walked this path with you by my side. Thank you for being my steadfast partner through it all.
To my family, mentors, friends, and everyone who stood by me with their prayers, encouragement, and unwavering support, thank you for walking this journey with me.
Today marks not the end of a campaign, but the beginning of a new responsibility.
I pledge to lead with integrity, courage, humility, fairness, and accountability. I will be a President for every member of the Nigerian Bar Association. Together, we will build an Association where every lawyer has the opportunity to earn better, live better, and practise better.
The work begins now.
May God continue to bless the Nigerian Bar Association and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you, and God bless you all.
