@Nativechieff Their past represent their real personalities.The sudden apology was induced by their need of votes. They will be worst if they eventually emerge winners. I will go with the one who's past constitutes a worthy legacy for the future. Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe is my ideal President.
Yemi Akangbe has demonstrated leadership in all he did and is doing. He deserves our vote to become the uncommon President that will innovate and elevate the Bar.
I agree with you absolutely. The vision and friendly disposition laced with uncommon humility of Akangbe, SAN typifies leadership at its peak. I stand with him.
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!!
🚀
Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN is the right man for the job. Man is so full of great ideas and from his past records, implementation won't be a problem.
I trust him fully. If you believe in leadership strongly flavoured with competence, compassion, courage and candour, look no further than @OmoyemiAkangbe when voting tomorrow. He is a special one.
Give the Bar the voice and glowing future it deserves by voting for Omoyemi Lateef Akangbe for NBA President today. My love for the Bar and the vision he shares for the Bar endeared him to me.
I am in interested in an NBA that will represent the interests of Lawyers both the low as well as the high and mighty and equally protect the rights of Nigerians that is why I am supporting Omoyemi Lateef Akangbe for NBA President.
Join me and cast your vote for him.
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.

Yemi Akangbe is simply amazing and outstanding. You can't speak with Yemi and will not immediately feel like elevating the Bar. He is a Leader of rare breed. I have unfailing faith that Yemi Akangbe's Presidency of the Bar will make the Bar noble again

@mrfestusogun If as an individual he can do this and even saying judge me by my track record, then as NBA President, be can do even more. Omoyemi Lateef Akangbe is the man for the job
@OmoyemiAkangbe I have unfailing faith in your ability to reposition and elevate the Bar! While some are explaining away and trying to change the narrative of their past activities, we are proud of your past and the indelible track record you left behind. Trust Yemi Akangbe with your votes.
Law Enforcement Agencies must learn to respect the same law they claim to be enforcing. The so called ORDER FROM ABOVE that makes Law Enforcement Agencies dance naked in public in complete defiance to the Law must stop.
It is unfortunate that the DSS could put up such a shameful act. A court of competent jurisdiction duly granted bail to Emefiele and ordered him to be remanded in the facility of the Correctional Center pending perfection of Bail. How DSS still went for Emefiele is a mystery.
Into custody. To that end,the arresting authority can't still take custody of the suspect except expressly stated by the Court.
The actions of the DSS in fighting the NCS over the custody of Emefiele must be condemned.
The fight between officers of the DSS and the NCS today over who is entitled to take Godwin Emefiele the suspended Governor of the CBN into custody is a National Embarrassment! The Law is clear that upon arraignment and subsequent remand of a person,the NCS takes such person
