Yesterday Monday 18th
September was a day! At Yar Adua’s Centre Abuja I was there live to
congratulate my Brother Festus Keyamo SAN on the occasion of the conferment of
the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria after several attempts. The reception was slated for 6pm in the invitation card.
Dr B.C Igwilo (SAN)
s reception in Chelsea was earlier; I was also there to congrate the Great Igwilos, some
of the learned gentlemen present thereat Dodo SAN, Prof Fabian Ajogwu SAN, Justice
Okeke and a host of others.
I had actually earlier
been to Yar Adua’s centre at 6:35pm the Keyamo’s reception was getting
set. I got back there two hours later but not without taking a
picture you now find on my Facebook wall click where Festus Keyamo SAN is being

I presented goodwill/ Congratulatory
card to the Silk. Photographs were taken. Others I met there were Dr Mrs Azinge
SAN; Owonikoko SAN etc. Yusuf Ali SAN arrived after and others too numerous to
mention.
Keyamo’s profound
statement, TheCable online
“For me, the only
honour I can do to the silk robes I adorn is to help the weak, defenceless and
just..” FK
Nigeria’s John F Kennedy,
