Although the AGF
Malami SAN was present, NBA wasn’t there as our President Paul Usoro SAN,
FCIArb was completely absent therefrom.
SOME
BACKGROUND FACTS:
On 31st
August 2018, Usoro was sworn-in as the 29th President of NBA. Prior
thereto, had appointed a Transition Committee US Model and some of us thought
he was going to be a dynamic and savvy President in the mold of Barack Obama. Mr Usoro appointed instanta some
NBA Election Monitors for Osun State under the Chair of Mr Tawo Tawo a Cross Riverian. Transition
Committee Offiong Akwa-Cross.
Prior thereto,
Usoro had dissolved all NBA Committees under the previous regime. NEC-NBA is in
a few weeks as October draws to a close November would be the first quarterly
meeting under the Usoro presidency. He has not called anyone to as much as
suggest if they would want to serve in those NBA Committees he had dissolved.
We blame Baba go slow on Buhari. But Nigeria’s President is 4 years subject to
re-election for another 4 years, whereas NBA President enjoys a two-year tenure.
That z it!
USORO
SORE HYPOCRISY
On 17th
Sept 2018 Mr. Usoro SAN had addressed the Federal High Court Judges at the
legal year and jabbed at them for failure to update FHC website. Read the critique
in Usoro’s words: “We strongly recommend,
in the interest of this Honorable Court and indeed, in the interest of the
public the publication of such material information, data and statistics
relating to the Court’s activities on a regularly basis – at the minimum, at
the Court’s website. Such information must also be constantly updated, and I
mention this based on my observation of the Court’s website which, in my very
humble and respectful view, requires considerable upgrade. To illustrate the
point, I need to mention that the Court’s website, as at this morning, 17
September 2018, shows that the Easter Vacation of this Honorable Court would be
“one week from Easter Monday 2017” and the Long Vacation would be in “August
2017 - September 2017” and of course, the Christmas Vacation would be from
“December 2017 – January 2018”. Usoro SAN 17th Sept., 2018 The
link to the extract online is “NBA Publication” http://nigerianbar.org.ng/index.php/news1/561-legal-year
You would think
that a candidate who claimed to be ICT expert, internet savvy and suave would
have gotten the NBA Website updated by now two months after he was sworn-in. If
you visit the NBA website. Time is 10:25am Thursday 25th October
2018, the NBA Website still has the names of everyone Usoro said their coomittees
were dissolved. NBA website now says A B Mahmoud SAN is the NBA President Oct
2018 if you will visit the page, Office of NBA President. Click http://nigerianbar.org.ng/index.php/opnba
However, Mr Usoro
SAN does not want people with ardent skills and knowledge to now help NBA in
running our own NBA. For example he lacks the experience and exposure to know
that when the President of NBA signs a press release he or she will send it to
Thisday newspaper, Guardian, Vanguard, Punch, Daily Trust, the Nation etc., you
give the press statement or press release or condolence messages to the NBA
Publicity Secretary with support. You
don’t leave it there only online.
BAD
DEBT?
Many are unaware
that Usoro failed to defray many campaign costs and I am not the only one Usoro
is indebted to. Not even a bottle of Eva water eight naira. The man is more WICKED
than APC. Laughter! Matter of fact post his election I was the one who bought
the Usoros gifts I dropped for them in a small bag on Aug 30th 2018, post-election for him and his family to
celebrate. I won’t mention the names of other Attorneys Usoro is owing hugely. He
is one Lawyer who boasts he is a Billionaire yet indebted to non-Billionaires,
his professional colleagues.
NBA
LADDER?
One of his critics
say Usoro not driven to really work for NBA. Mission being NBA ladder for
future years when he would run for the Senate or House of Reps or Gov Akwa Ibom
State house, Senior Lawyer with a relatively low record of public interest work
would stand to say “was I not NBA President?”. Good for his CV and that is a
poor attitude Sir.
Yours respectfully,
