As distinguished Yoruba legal minds gather today in Abeokuta under the auspices of Egbe Amofin O’odua, Barth Okoye Aniche, Esq., a respected legal ethicist and public interest lawyer, has extended warm greetings and best wishes to the association, celebrating its continued influence on the legal landscape in Nigeria.
Recognised as a foremost regional bloc within the Nigerian Bar, Egbe Amofin O’odua stands as more than a cultural alliance—it is a custodian of legal tradition, professional excellence, and principled advocacy. Its legacy of nurturing generations of courageous, ethical, and visionary lawyers continues to enrich the fabric of the Bar and the nation at large.
In his goodwill message, Aniche commended the leadership and membership of Egbe Amofin for their unwavering dedication to the ideals of justice, unity, and institutional integrity.
He noted that at a time when the Nigerian legal profession is confronting a crisis of confidence, the role of groups like Egbe Amofin in reviving core values cannot be overstated.
“Egbe Amofin O’odua is not merely a congregation of lawyers bound by geography or dialect—it is a beacon of moral clarity and cultural pride in a profession desperately in need of both,” Aniche said.
“Your gathering today in Abeokuta is more than ceremonial; it is a statement of purpose. I trust that the deliberations will reinforce our shared duty to restore the embers of honour that once defined the Bar,” he added.
“May today’s meeting inspire renewed solidarity, ethical leadership, and courageous thinking as we navigate the future of the legal profession together. I wish Egbe Amofin continued relevance, wisdom in counsel, and enduring legacy.”
