The leadership of Egbe Amofin O’odua recently held a closed-door session where it was announced that Aare Muyiwa Akinboro, SAN may have been adopted as their preferred aspirant for the position of President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
Professor Foluke Dada-Lawanson addressed the house reaffirming her aspiration to the presidency.
This decision follows the report of the screening committee, which identified Professor Foluke Dada-Lawanson and Aare Muyiwa Akinboro, SAN, as the leading aspirants from South West who hail from Osun State.
At the said meeting, Professor Dada-Lawanson graciously reaffirmed her commitment to the NBA and reiterated that she remains a bona fide aspirant for the position of President of the Association.
