Learned Gentleman
of the Bar, Mr Okey Wali SAN,
As a former
President recall your learned daughter
in whom we are all well pleased was to work or actually worked in the law firm of Paul
Usoro SAN in Lagos. You said that
yourself. Your firm in PH would have
been okay but for the fact of your son-in-law being resident/worked in Lagos at
the time. You did indicate to us in NBA,
of Paul Usoro’s amiable spouse, our First Lady Mfon Usoro to take care of your learned daughter and
dotted on her. Our Members celebrated
your cute grandchild thereafter.
The elections have
come and gone, you should be proud of Nigeria’s Barack Obama, Mr Paul Usoro SAN
being one of your worthy successors, 4 years after you left
office. Considering , at the time you contested for office of NBA President, you had a powerful challenger Emeka Ngige SAN
of Lagos premier Branch though started late, garnered lots of votes that though you won, EBF was startled.
Olisa Agbakoba SAN
is from Anambra State and was NBA President. Rivers State had produced two Presidents and a
General Secretary 2004. Those years I contested and lost and didn’t challenge
NBA poll results. You should be liberal
to allow another State from the Eastern Region i.e. AKWA IBOM in 2018. Anambra
State had taken Rivers State had taken. It is the turn of Akwa Ibom now just one
presidential position since the history of our glorious NBA. Let the USOROS be.
Stop your campaign of undeserved hate by gathering a few people against the
rest of us in the entire Southern and Northern States.
During campaign you
snatched the mic from Paul Usoro SAN and some of your colleagues chided
you. You are yet to apologize to Nigerian
Bar Association for the ignominy.
As you know, conduct unbecoming
of a Legal practitioner under the LPRC. Matters made worse, you are working
with Daudu SAN to vent frustration over Paul Usoro’s election. That is low
Silk, for your high esteem, please STOP!
Sir, I have tried
to call your GSM, not getting through hence I write. Paul Usoro is from the Eastern Region and by
virtue of his position as President-elect, any forum based in the East such as EBF, MUST first seek his consent
and approval on any decision affecting
NBA unless and until he assigns the duty
to the 1st VP elect; Mr Imo
Stanley Chidozie and not you or JB Daudu
SAN with all due respect.
By the way, J B
Daudu SAN lost to Yunus Ustaz Usman SAN for the position of Leader of Kaduna Bar. JB Daudu SAN is not the Leader of Kaduna
Branch and he wants to be leader of EBF? Preposterous!
Dear EBF members, JB
Daudu cannot be your leader as he and Okey Wali seek to destabilize EBF. Kindly don’t heed their
call it is anti-EBF. Not in the character of EBF to heed illegitimate calls. The South Eastern Leaders I spoke to this
morning by phone agreed that it is in keeping with EBF convention to make peace
and accept Paul Usoro’s electoral success like other forums accept PU SAN President-elect. And the Wali-Daudu’s illegitimate plots would
not advance EBF’s lofty goals. Note that Wali and Daudu already attained
their zenith – the duo would not need EBF. But you the good people would need
EBF by working perfectly with NBA President Paul Usoro SAN.
God Bless the
Nigerian Bar Association.
