My vote matters. Your vote matters. Share the message. Don’t stop talking about his vision. If social media existed during the days Obafemi Awolowo declared free education in the South West which many of our parents benefited from, he would have been initially called a liar or spin doctor too. It always seems impossible until it is done! Let’s keep the fire burning for Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe LOA!! We must Elevate the Bar!! 🚀

When many of us first took the oath, we carried more than our wigs and gowns. We carried hope. Hope for a profession that would challenge us, grow us, and stand with us through every stage of our journey. But for too many lawyers, that hope has gradually given way to disappointment. They have paid their dues, shown up year after year, and given their best to the profession, yet they have never truly felt the support of the Bar they belong to. That reality cannot be ignored. This campaign is not about pretending those experiences never happened. It is about acknowledging them and committing to something better. A Bar that listens before it speaks. A Bar that supports before it asks. A Bar that creates opportunities, protects its members, and restores confidence in our collective future. Because every lawyer deserves to feel that the Bar stands with them. Together, we will #ElevateTheBar. #LOAForNBAPresident #NBAElection #ElevateTheBar

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.

Your dues are in one place. Your CPD is somewhere else. Your practice licence is on a third platform. Your directory profile is on a fourth. To get a letter of good standing, you visit two portals and wait three days. For a document that should take five minutes. The NBA already has all the pieces. An app. A portal. An ICLE platform. A stamp and seal ecosystem. A Find a Lawyer directory. None of them talk to each other. NBA One changes that. One login. One dashboard. Every NBA service in one place, tied to your Supreme Court Number. Delivered in 18 months. This is what a modern Bar looks like. Saturday 18 July 2026.

Why Lawyers Should Be Involved in the NBA – and Why Society Should Take Lawyers Seriously? At the plenary session of the recently concluded NBA Annual General Conference, I shared valuable insights on the role of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) within Lawyers and the broader society. People are naturally drawn to value. When the Association consistently demonstrate integrity, excellence, and commitment to justice, society will not only recognize but also respect and follow their lead. I emphasized that if the NBA remains true to its core values; upholding the rule of law, defending justice, and promoting professional development it will continue to stay relevant and command respect both within and outside the legal community. #ElevateTheBar #NBAAGC2025 #TransformativeLeadership #LOA Follow the LATEEF OMOYEMI AKANGBE SAN channel on WhatsApp: https://t.co/zAEeOf5O0x
