Throughout this campaign, I consistently maintained that the future of our Association depends on the strength, credibility, and integrity of its electoral process.

Those convictions were not born of convenience; they were rooted in a genuine desire to see the Nigerian Bar Association become stronger, more transparent, and more accountable to its members.

The events surrounding this election have reinforced the urgent need for meaningful electoral reform. My reflections are offered in the hope that this moment will inspire the changes necessary to restore confidence in our democratic processes.

I remain profoundly grateful to every colleague who stood with me, believed in our shared vision, and lent their voice to the cause of a better Bar.

The struggle for a stronger Nigerian Bar Association continues.

Please read my full statement.

[Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN @OmoyemiAkangbe]

Today is bigger than any one candidate.

Throughout the ongoing NBA elections, I have received reports from lawyers across the country who say they have been unable to cast their votes due to challenges with the voting process. Regrettably, I have also been unable to cast my own vote despite repeated attempts. We have records showing that the system allows people to vote twice, when it should be one member one vote.

Every eligible member of our Association deserves the opportunity to participate in a free, fair, transparent, and credible election. The integrity of our democratic process must inspire confidence in every voter.

To everyone who believes in this vision, I urge you: do not give up. Continue trying to exercise your right to vote for as long as the voting window remains open.

Leadership is tested most in difficult moments. Let us remain peaceful, resolute, and committed to protecting the credibility of our Association.

As the NBA elects new leaders on the 18th July, 2026;ensure you cast your vote Omoyemi Lateef Akangbe, SAN as to reposition and Elevate the Bar. A vote for Akangbe is a vote for a virile and credible 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]

I took the campaign where it belongs: into some of the rooms where Nigerian law is practised at its highest level.

@kenna_lp. @aluko_oyebode. @BanwoIghodalo. @Strenandblan.

These were not merely campaign visits. They were substantive conversations with lawyers who shape transactions, resolve complex disputes, advise leading institutions, and contribute daily to the development of our legal and commercial landscape.

Our discussions centred on the future of the Nigerian Bar Association: what it owes its members, where it has fallen short, and the practical reforms required to restore confidence, strengthen institutions, and better serve the profession.

The lawyers in these rooms are not persuaded by slogans. They interrogate facts for a living. They distinguish between aspiration and execution, between promises and a demonstrable record of service.

My record speaks for itself.

As Chairman of the NBA Lagos Branch, I convened the Remuneration Committee whose work culminated in the 2023 Legal Practitioners Remuneration Order, now subsidiary legislation under the Legal Practitioners Act. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the welfare fund established by the Branch provided timely support to members when it was needed most. Under my leadership, the Branch also recorded an increase in its net worth of almost 10 per cent within two years, with every kobo transparently accounted for. That was the record I took into those conversations.

I am grateful for the thoughtful engagement, candid feedback, and warm reception. The future of our Association will be shaped by conversations such as these grounded in ideas, informed by experience, and focused on service.

*“Profitability is not the only measure of success. Longevity is one of them and that ties into succession.” — Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe SAN FCIArb(UK)

I shared insights on what it truly means to build a successful law firm, not just one that thrives financially, but one that endures and evolves.

Using my journey from joining my Law firm as an Associate in 2005 to becoming its Managing Partner, I underscored the importance of leadership, legacy, and intentional succession planning in the business of law.

True success in Legal practice must be built to last.
