NBA PRESIDENCY: AREWA YOUNG LAWYERS DISOWN ADOPTION OF DELE ADESINA SAN
We read with shock this afternoon the purported adoption of Dele Adesina SAN as NBA President by Arewa YLF Executive. We wish to state categorically that no meeting was held, or any decision taken to endorse Dele Adesina SAN or any other candidate for the office of the NBA President.
However, we are aware that political promises have been made to some members of the Arewa YLF executive and this would most likely have influenced their decision to undertake the unauthorized adoption.
For the avoidance of doubt, the members of the Arewa YLF Executive who adopted a candidate for the office of the President did so on their own accord and spoke only for themselves.
We urge our members to disregard the purported endorsement and vote for candidates of their choice.
All the candidates who are running for the office of the President are strong candidates in their respective rights and deserve the support and vote of all lawyers who choose to vote for them.
For us as concerned Arewa Young Lawyers, we will urge every Arewa young lawyer to vote for a candidate who has demonstrated a long standing history of support for young lawyers and who has continuously shown that young lawyers are the future of the profession and that their interests need to be protected.
Signed on behalf of Concerned Arewa Young Lawyer by:
