In the last few weeks, our collective aspiration to step out and serve the Bar came under attack. Our resolve to offer purposeful leadership driven by honour, integrity and high standard of professionalism, for the common good of our Association and the country was assailed by the series of petitions we had to contend with.
While we recognise the right of the petitioners to make allegations as they imagined they could, it was left for them to substantiate/establish their claims. In the course of waiting for the decision of the ECNBA on the said petitions, I noticed that you, my friends, remained resolute and focused; while stones and muds were slung at us, you kept calm and refused to be distracted. I commend your maturity, thoughtfulness and gracefulness in handling the matters which were meant to provoke and distract us. We had always known our detractors will, as is their custom, deploy their antics, but you were unwavering in your commitment. As it turned out, we were attacked on every side, yet we refused to be distressed; we may have been momentarily perplexed, but definitely did not despair.
I am filled with profound gratitude to God Almighty for your resilience, support, confidence and belief in our dream.
This is to appreciate you all for your courage and unrelenting devotion to the cause. By the grace of God we remain unstoppable; we shall arrive at our destination where we will unleash our God-given talents and potentials to take the lead in the recovery, reformation and repositioning of the Bar and indeed our nation Nigeria.
Have a wonderful weekend.
