I hear the ECNBA claimed that "over 30,000 lawyers" have verified to vote at the election. I don't believe that with all the issues, they recorded over 90% verification. With 24 hrs to the election we should know the precise no of names in the voters list and those that verified.
We are saying all these not because we are not supremely confident that Nigerian lawyers will do the right thing and vote #OLUMIDEAKPATA as NBA President tomorrow, but because things should not just be properly done but they must also been seen to be properly done.
From my sedentary position, I dare say that the ECNBA has so far not covered itself and the Association in glory. We can only hope that despite all these false steps, they are able to conduct credible elections and not further complicate the delicate state of affairs at the Bar.
A short story:
As chair of @nbasblofficial, @OlumideAkpata moved to reform legal education in 🇳🇬 by setting up NBA-SBL clubs in 6 strategic universities nationwide. I was President of @LawsanNational at the time, and the SBL worked hand-in-gloves with us to drive these reforms..

Olu did great exploits, but I knew capacity-building was lifting men is in his DNA when he mentioned how he's more proud of the SBL Clubs of all his major achievements. Today, the clubs are impacting robust commercial law knowledge and bridging the gap btw academia and industry
Since 2018, I've had the privilege of attending all @nbasblofficial Conferences in Abuja and Lagos with a team of delagates from @LawsanNational and 5 students each from the clubs; 100% free and all expense paid in platinum, thanks to @OlumideAkpata
