Open Letter to the Nigerian Bar Association: A Plea for Electoral Integrity

To the Leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association, and to all Stakeholders in the Legal Profession,

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) stands at a crossroads. For too long, entrenched interests and a shadowy cabal have held the Association hostage, manipulating its electoral processes and eroding the confidence of the very lawyers it was created to serve.

This is not merely about personalities or factions it is about the survival of the NBA as a credible institution and the preservation of the voice of Nigerian lawyers.

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) is the foremost professional body of lawyers in Nigeria. It is meant to embody justice, fairness, and integrity the very principles upon which the legal profession rests. Yet today, the Association stands at a dangerous precipice.

For too long, entrenched interests and a powerful cabal have manipulated its electoral processes, holding the NBA hostage and eroding the trust of the very lawyers it was created to serve.

The Crisis of Credibility
It has been alleged, and repeatedly observed, that certain former leaders of the NBA, in collusion with those who control the electronic voting platforms, have always orchestrated outcomes that favor unpopular candidates.

These machinations have returned individuals to office against the clear will of the majority. Such practices have bred discontent, disillusionment, and calls for rival associations to emerge, threatening to fracture the unity of the legal profession in Nigeria.

Critics are often dismissed as sore losers, but the evidence tells a different story. Allegations of rigging are not baseless they are substantiated by repeated irregularities. When candidates demand a thorough audit of elections, their calls are met with silence or outright resistance.

Many are forced to seek redress in court, but the two-year lifespan of each administration ensures that by the time judgments are delivered, the tenure in question has already expired, rendering the cases moot. This cycle of injustice perpetuates impunity.

Consider the case of Mr. Tobenna Erojikwe, who contested the last presidential election. His demand for an audit of the process that brought the current administration to power was stonewalled. The Election Appeal Committee failed to provide answers, and his case remains tied up in litigation.

Similarly, CHIEF JOE-KYARI GADZAMA's SAN challenge from an earlier election is still pending at the Court of Appeal. Even now, two candidates in the present election have raised valid concerns about transparency, despite assurances from the Electoral Committee that the process is “foolproof and fraud-proof.” Tomorrow will reveal whether those assurances hold true.

The Broader Implications
But let it be clear: this subterfuge cannot continue. The votes of Nigerian lawyers must count. One vote per person no more multiple voting through singular devices, no more manipulation of electronic platforms.

The cabal has had its run; it is time to restore integrity to the NBA.

The Association must breathe again, free from the suffocating grip of vested interests. Lawyers must be allowed to truly decide who leads them, without interference, without fraud, and without fear.

If the NBA fails to deliver credible elections within its own ranks, it forfeits the moral authority to monitor or advocate for free and fair elections in Nigeria at the presidential, state, or local government levels. As the Latin maxim reminds us: nemo dat quod non habet you cannot give what you do not have.

An Association that cannot guarantee fairness in its internal processes cannot credibly demand fairness from others.

A Call to Conscience
The NBA is too important to be destroyed by corruption. Its credibility is the bedrock of justice in Nigeria. If the Association fails, the ripple effects will undermine the rule of law itself.

This is a call to conscience: let the will of the people prevail, let transparency triumph, and let the Nigerian Bar Association reclaim its rightful place as the guardian of justice and democracy.

The time has come for the NBA to rise above manipulation and restore faith in its processes. The future of the legal profession and indeed, the credibility of justice in Nigeria depends on it.

Odeda & Imeko LGAs, Ogun State, need to be protected. There're reports of some people in military uniform coming to gather intelligence & disappearing into think forest afterward. They plan to attack additional border towns in Ogun and Oyo.

[TERRORIST SURVIVOR 💪🏽 @GbolahanOlanyi0]

As a survivor of kidnapping and banditry, I can tell you that these criminals believe that no matter how much they take from you, you will eventually work and earn it back after your release.

Let me use myself as an example. After my family paid the ₦15 million ransom they demanded, along with other items worth over ₦600,000, they still weren't satisfied. They continued demanding more money and eventually asked for ₦55 million. They even told my mother to sell her house and car to raise the money.

Because my family rented a vehicle to deliver the ransom and other requested items, the kidnappers assumed we owned the car and were wealthy. They kept insisting that we sell all our properties and hand over the proceeds to them.

Omo, it was a terrible ordeal. The fear, pressure, and emotional torture were overwhelming. Watching my family struggle to meet their endless demands was heartbreaking.

One painful reality is that they often target ordinary and struggling people like us because we are easier to capture than the elites, who usually have better security and protection.

This is why we cannot continue to stay silent. Kidnapping and banditry have destroyed countless lives, families, and dreams across Nigeria. We need to raise our voices, stand together as a nation, and demand urgent action against insecurity.

Today it may be someone else's family. Tomorrow it could be yours. Enough is enough. 💔🇳🇬🙏🏽

Sometime last year, while watching a Manchester United game, there was a break in transmission of about 10 to 20 minutes. This was a match that was integral to our qualification to the next stage of the game. It left me in a state of utmost apprehension.

I quickly checked the mobile app of the cable TV and the same problem persisted.

I had used and abandoned 2 decoders in the past due to repeated increase in the subscription fee and lack of corresponding value or change in service quality.

My most recent decoder was purchased when I saw an advert by the cable TV promising "uninterrupted" viewing. I decided to give it one last shot.

You can imagine my disappointment when despite the advert and representation that made me get a new decoder, there was a break in transmission of up to 20 minutes while the primary aim of subscription was going on.

I sued the cable TV.

I'm happy to state that today, the FCT High Court delivered a well-considered judgement in David Ogundipe v Multichoice Nigeria Ltd. His lordship found merit in my suit and held that indeed, there was a breach of contract to afford me uninterrupted viewing.

I was represented by my colleague, O.E Oluwadamisi, Esq. Again, this decision validates our approach to law practice at Earnest Attorneys LP - to use law as a tool of social engineering and to push matters that advance the cause of the common man.

My faith in the judiciary is unshaken and I will not stop at anything to enforce my rights when such is breached by any private person or institution.

We cannot advance the society by law if we all have our eyes on transactions that are in billions and millions. We must tailor law practice in a manner that serves both the highs and the lows.

I once was a bookkeeper for a church. We got a new Pastor and he was very arrogant. I remember that I handled the confidential tithes and offerings of the parishioners, and he wanted to see them. I told him no. I told him that wasn't any of his business, and as a pastor he should know that. Then he started bringing in friends to speak on Sundays. Love offerings were collected, and on Monday morning, he would ask me how much had been collected. Let's say it was $1459.00. He would tell me to round that up. So, I would say, okay, $1500? He would say no, give them $2000. I fought him. Things got ugly. He started pounding his fist on the desk, telling me that the buck stopped with him. I yelled right back, and I told him that I treated that checkbook as if it were God's checkbook and I wasn't writing another check from it. I quit on the spot. Pastors and churches need to be held accountable. Their financials should be completely public.
