2020 NBA Elections: Adesina, SAN In Upbeat Mood Over Pre-polls Result

The second round of the 2020 NBA Election Opinion Polls Tracker has been released. The poll of polls combines all voting intention survey published ahead of the 2020 NBA Elections declare Mr. Dele Adesina, SAN as the winner.

Few weeks ago, Mr. Olumide Akpata was adjudged winner of the First Opinion Polls. The poll tracker measures how lawyers say they are going to vote at the forthcoming Bar Election. The race for the office of the President of the NBA is between three contenders; Mr. Olumide Akpata who was the immediate past Chairman of the NBA – Section on Business Law; Mr. Dele Adesina, SAN, a former National General Secretary of the NBA; and Dr. Babatunde Ajibade, SAN, the Managing Partner, SPA Ajibade & Co.

In his reaction to the victory, Mr. Adesina (SAN) writes:

I have just read the final result of the poll that ended at 19:00 hours, today the 17th of February, 2020. The result is heart-warming and the victory goes to each and every one of us. It is a product of our commitment, loyalty and dedication to the course that we all believe in and that is to secure the future of our Profession which many within and outside of the Profession say is under siege.

Confirmation of men is an affirmation of the confirmation of God. The majority of Nigeria Lawyers whether the Core Litigators in public or private sector or Commercial/ Corporate Practitioners, old or young, senior or junior, are buying-in, into the compelling objective of changing the face of our Profession which we are promising.

To the Core Litigators, there must be a way-out of delay and congestion in our Courts. Protection and promotion of Rule of Law and fundamental Rights of the citizens must be evident. Access to Court must be preserved. Orders and Judgments of our Courts must be effortlessly obeyed.

To the Commercial/ Corporate Practitioners, contractual agreements must be respected and binding between the contracting parties. Once there is a breach, sanctions in form of damages must follow. In the event of a recourse to arbitration as may be agreed to by the contracting parties, resultant arbitral award must be respected and accepted as binding. Arbitration/Mediation should not be the first step towards another protracted and unending litigation as they are presently are.

To the senior members of the Bar, the desire to bequeath a promising Profession to their younger ones cannot be over-emphasized for this is a legitimate aspiration. Remember, success without a successor is failure. To the young and junior members of our Profession with vision, focus and determination to succeed, the system must not place a limit to their ambition.They must not continue to be victims of a situation they did not create.

This is why we are involved and together we shall make things happen for our Profession.

We are confident of victory because our aspiration is guided by sincere love for our Profession, honesty of purpose and patriotism to our country. Let me assure you all of you that are working together with me on this project that there are many more that are for us than those that are against us.

Congratulations.
From Dele Adesina SAN,
Past General-Secretary, NBA
Life Member, Distinguished Body of Benchers
