Distinguished
Colleagues,
Senator Onyeabor
Obi sent me a message on Facebook wall which is an open message for all. The distinguished Senator said Mrs P.O Kuye
and Mrs H A Balogun 1963 alright but of the 2nd set of 1963. Thanks.
Someone else,
certainly not Senator Onyeabor Obi, someone wants me to respond to their
question that how come Mrs HA Balogun and Mrs Kuye were General Secretary and
President of NBA if the NBA men were not or are not disposed to voting for
women for the top posts.
Carol Ajie’s
Response.
In Mrs H A Balogun’s
time, in the 80’s I wasn’t there but everyone who was there including Mrs
Balogun said some male candidates expressed interest to serve as NBA GS at the
same time as she did. Meaning you had 3 or 4 candidates with Mrs H A Balogun.
So some senior male lawyers, reached out to their male colleagues to allow
Hairat Balogun take the office of G.S
non-contest or if you would prefer consensual. We don’t know if the male co-contestants
were offered other positions in NBA. Anyways, they heeded and allowed her take
the GS position.
Mrs P.O Kuye – Rose
to become President of NBA.
Mrs Kuye was
elected to a position that was much less visible third Vice President and she
went up to second Vice President and up to First Vice President and President.
In all of these steps there were vacancies.
Then the election
was called in Port Harcourt for all the offices from President to second
assistant national secretary. At the time I was four years at the bar in the
early 90’s and I filed nomination for
second national assistant secretary. Mrs Kuye filed nomination for President.
Alhaji Bashir Dalhatu filed nomination for President. The election was botched as
a result of the Port Harcourt debacle and NBA went into a comatose for six
years. Soon after the PH botched NBA AGC, I wrote as a candidate who had
participated at the election that was botched to Chief FRA Willaims SAN/Body of
Benchers to mediate the disputes and bring NBA back to activity. That was how
my humble self initiated the long peace process that eventually resuscitated
the NBA in 1998 with T J Okpoko SAN elected as NBA President.
Chief F.R.A wrote
to me in response to my letter, FRA signed the letter requesting me to brief
the Body of Benchers over the debacle and if you ask Chief T.J Okpoko SAN,
and/or Prof Ben Nwabueze SAN, they were at the Body of Benchers in that gigantic
law office in Ilupeju Lagos when I gave
a synopsis that preceded peace the Doyen Chaired.
Recall that Mrs H A
Balogun was the first female Chair Body of Benchers. It was Chief FRA Williams SAN after Mrs
Balogun lost the election into the office of NBA President, FRA nominated her
to become the 1st female Chair Body of Benchers & rewarded the efforts.
Ask Mrs Balogun FRA
didn’t demand or take any bribe to nominate her. So it should come strange that
a President of NBA is corrupt. If the election that brought you to office of NBA
President is corrupt.
We have just been informed
that EFCC commenced and completed its investigation of NBA ICT Partner, Chams Plc investigation conducted under the Cyber
Crime Act of the 2018 NBA Presidential Election, etc.
VERIFICATION
OF VOTES:
The law suit instituted
by one of the NBA Presidential candidates came up on Tuesday 13th
Nov., 2018 and has been adjourned to two weeks time. It is an originating
summons and now that the Usoros are fighting Mahmoud over McArthur Foundation
Funds if Prof Yadudu EC NBA Chair, should file an affidavit to say sorry EC NBA
did not verify the election result, and
yields to Applicant’s relief that the NBA should verify the results under court
supervision, Prof Yadudu was actually once quoted prior to this time, that he did
not verify the results; if some of the respondents should put those facts in
affidavit and file in the pending lawsuit won’t Usoro be sent packing out of
NBA House as soon as before Christmas. He is antagonizing everyone who helped
him, he will antagonize anyone else! Usoro-ingrate!
