The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ado-Ekiti Branch, has elected its new executive members even as Mr Lawrence Adetunji Fasanmi emerged the Chairman.
The new executives have been given their certificates of return after a free and fair election conducted on June 28, 2022.
In his remarks, Fasanmi solicited the support of all members of the branch for the unity required to move the branch to a greater height.
“This victory is for all of us. We all won the election, not Fasanmi alone.
“To my very own friend and opponent, Oluwaseyi Ebenezer, you are a great woman and colleague who I respect & appreciate. We are one and we shall continue to be.
“I want to use this privilege to congratulate the Secretary-elect, Taiwo Omidoyin Esq. I hope to have a productive administration and tenure with you.
“I also appreciate the sportsmanship of Stanley Okwonko Esq and his efforts towards the branch.
“For the record, election has come and gone, but the NBA Ado Ekiti Branch will continue to move higher,” he said.
The immediate past Chairman, Mr Adeyemi Adewumi, on behalf of the former executive members, expressed gratitude for the support and cooperation of the entire members of the branch, urging them to extend same to the new leadership.
The swearing-in will come up on Thursday, June 30, 2022.
