Who said Mr Usoro SAN would resign from the office of NBA
President? Those who gave ultimatum!
Ultimatum to resign deadline 26th October,
2018 Have you heard from the authors on next step? No.
Mr Usoro if you
told him last year that he was going to be the President of NBA in August this
year, he’d probably ask President of NBA or President of Telecommunications
Lawyers Association?.
On the 18th of October 2018, Mr Usoro SAN whom
I last saw many years ago. Yes don’t be surprised that a candidate I committed my hard earned resources to
assisting, I didn’t see years prior to campaigns and I didn’t see him after
campaigns and I didn’t attend his swearing in ceremony though I registered for
the conference. We talked exchanged emails and text messages.
That was all. We didn’t see at all till
present. After he was declared winner he
sent text messages to the George Etomis, the Konyinsola Ajayis, the Sena
Anthonys, Ajies to attend a victory party in VGC Lagos I got
my invite I didn’t reply.
On the 18th October, 2018 Mr Usoro sent a text
message to Attorney Carol Ajie thus: “I am nominating you into the National Human Rights Commission, send
your profile to me”. I said what! Ajie in Buhari’s government as National Human
Rights Commissioner. Is Usoro okay? I
replied via text I do not want the nomination please. He sent one of his family
members to plead with me to accept it. I said emphatic No.
Governing Council of the National Human Rights Commission?.
Come to think of it. Has Buhari’s government even called for nominations. Usoro claimed Buhari’s SGF sent him a letter to
make the nominations. I didn’t believe
Buhari was keen on improving his human rights image. Under President Jonathan, Jonathan was
concerned genuinely concerned about his human rights posture. His AGF Adoke had
nominated Dr Chidi Odinkalu as Chair NHRC
and it took a long while, between one to two years to get to Senate and
clearing and inauguration.
I actually supported
Odinkalu’s nomination and carried out campaigns for NASS and Adoke to curb the delay associated
with the NHRC clearing. Buhari is facing election its only two months to 2019
and would Buhari want to give time to NHRC? What if he does not return to Aso
Rock that is the end of the process? And what if he returns does it appear as
if he is in a hurry to correct the impressions of monumental human rights abuses
in this regime.?.
Anyway, if there are Lawyers who want the NHRC job, please they may contact Mr Usoro SAN.
Best regards
CA
