@mrfestusogun Dear @festusogun, i just want to let you know that you dissapointed a lot of your followers. We don't want you to hold anybody accountable, when we needed you to speak against clear electoral manipulation you turned a blind eye. Please enjoy the "BOLD" victory of your candidate.

The Last 4 Elections Of The NBA Have Been Challenged By The Crisis Of Confidence And Legitimacy— Ogunye

We have had to settle results in court by participants in previous elections. My long standing suggestion to the NBA is to avoid electronic voting and opt for electoral college collation of results. Let each branch vote for their candidate of choice, it enhances participation.

This will be read as a threat in the Government and security circles. But all the same, LOA is the new HIGHER for the BAR.

[Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN @OmoyemiAkangbe]

I want to talk about something this campaign has not discussed enough.

The Nigerian Bar Association raises funds from some of the very institutions it is supposed to hold accountable. Government agencies. Regulatory bodies. Parastatal organisations. And every time it does, it creates a relationship that makes fearless criticism harder, even when fearless criticism is exactly what the moment requires.

This is not a conspiracy. It is a structural problem. And structural problems require structural solutions.

My financial agenda for the NBA is built on one clear principle: we must cut our coat according to our cloth.

That means spending only on what adds real, demonstrable value to the careers of members. It means reviewing the Association's assets and optimising them for revenue generation. It means restructuring our Sections, Fora, and Institutes so they can access credible international multilateral donor funding without compromising the independence of the Association. And it means committing a minimum of thirty per cent of annual revenue to the NBA Fund every single year — not as an aspiration, but as a budget line.

At the branch level, it means the ten per cent BPF allocation reaches branches on time. Not late. Not after follow-up. On time. And it means the Secretariat's relationship with branches is one of genuine partnership, not hierarchy.

An NBA that cannot fund itself independently cannot speak freely. And an NBA that cannot speak freely cannot be the institutional conscience this country needs it to be.

Financial independence is not an accounting matter. It is a question of whether this Association can be trusted to say the difficult thing when the difficult thing needs to be said.

Under my presidency, it will be.

[Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN @OmoyemiAkangbe]

When Mr. Tola Oshobi, SAN, speaks, I listen.

Not because of the kind words, though I am genuinely grateful for them, but because of what he chose to highlight.

He did not talk about my manifesto. He did not list my credentials. He talked about a moment in 2020 when the world stopped, the courts closed, the banks were uncertain, and nobody knew how long any of it would last.

In that moment, while most institutions were conserving resources and waiting to see what would happen, we at the Lagos Branch made a different decision. We looked at the young lawyers. The less privileged members of our profession. The ones with no buffer, no savings, no senior partner to call. And we mobilised. We raised funds from those who could give and put food and money directly into the hands of those who needed it.

Tola called it unexpected. I call it the minimum obligation of leadership.

If you are in a position of responsibility and you only show up when things are comfortable, you were never really leading. Leadership is what you do when nobody knows what to do. When the pressure is real and the resources are uncertain and people are genuinely afraid.
That is the standard I brought to the Lagos Branch. It is the same standard I am bringing to the Nigerian Bar Association.

To Mr. Oshobi, SAN, thank you. Your endorsement means more because it comes from someone who was watching closely and remembers exactly what happened.

Vote LOA. Elevate the Bar.

[Jibrin Okutepa San @sanjsokutepa]

I have resisted the urge to comment on the ruling of Hon Mr Justice Dashen of the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja on the NDC matter until I read the judgement. Having read the judgement I am just wondering why the learned trial judge agreed to set the judgement his lordship gave in December 2025 wherein INEC the only Defendant in that case was ordered to register NDC as a political party.

That order was obeyed and NDC registered as a political party. Now an association known as Peace Movement Party PMP was never a party to that judgement. So when an application was filed on the 5th May 2026, the application had two prayers. Praye on3 was for extension of time to apply to set aside the said judgement and an order setting aside the said judgment.

The learned trial judge in the ruling under review set out the two prayers in the motion in the ruling but his lordship did not consider at all prayer one that deals with extension of time to apply to have the judgment set aside. Why. Nobody can hadzard a guess. But was his lordship right. I do not think so. The principle of law is well established that where a person seeks extension of time within which to apply to set aside a judgment entered in his absence, the applicant must satisfy two conditions, namely good and substantial reasons for the failure to appear or defend the action; and show that there is a prima facie defence on the merits, usually by exhibiting a proposed statement of defence disclosing triable issues.

These two conditions are conjunctive, not disjunctive. In other words, both conditions must co-exist before the court can exercise its discretion in favour of the applicant. Failure to satisfy either is fatal. The Supreme Court in Williams vs Hope Rising Voluntary Funds Society held that an applicant seeking to set aside a judgment entered in default must: show good reasons for the default; and disclose a defence on the merits.

In fact the first hurdle must be crossed before a consideration can be given to the second question. The discretion of the court is exercised only where both requirements are met. In Nalsa & Team Associates vs. NNPC, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that the applicant must satisfy the court as to:
the reason for the default; and
the existence of a defence raising triable issues. In Skenconsult (Nig.) Ltd. vs Ukey,
even though principally dealing with judgments entered without jurisdiction or without service, the Supreme Court also distinguished cases where the court's discretion to set aside a regular judgment depends upon the applicant satisfying the recognised conditions.

In A.C.B. Plc vs Losada (Nig.) Ltd, the Supreme Court reiterated that a party seeking to set aside a regular judgment must explain the default and show a defence on the merits. In Macaulay vs. NAL Merchant Bank Ltd the court emphasized that both conditions are prerequisites before discretion can be exercised. Are these conditions conjunctive or disjunctive? The authorities consistently state that the conditions are conjunctive, not disjunctive.

The applicant must establish both: good and substantial reasons for the failure to appear; and a defence on the merits. The use of the word "and" in the Supreme Court decisions is deliberate. The courts have repeatedly refused applications where only one condition was established.A commonly quoted statement of the law is that the applicant must show good reasons for his absence and disclose a defence on the merits before the court can exercise its discretion in his favour.

In this ruling, his lordship left out most fundamental judicial function and did not interrogate the reason for failure to apply to have the judgment set aside before INEC obey it. The court did not give us the opportunity what informed its reasons to set aside the judgment when there is no finding on the point why the applicants waited till 4th May 2026 before they apply to set aside the judgment. It appears there are more the public did not know.
