Secretary, Mr. Damian Nosike while Mr. Ogunji. kingsley and Augustine Owo are members
Responding to the peaceful nature of the election, 3rd Vice President of the NBA, Mr. Ben Oji, who represented the NBA President, Mr A. B. Mahmoud, SAN, said “The EBF has been and remains at the forefront our fora. It is the most organised NBA forum, that is why EBF was the first to be consulted when the Mid- West Bar Forum was nurtured. This is a model for others to follow, it is good in structure and almost everybody is here and every other forum is represented here. We must not always agree, but as lawyers, we must always show leadership.”
In his good will massage, the Assistant Secretary of the Arewa Lawyers Forum, Mr. T. T. Hyndu, said: “This is the best election I have ever seen. We have a lot to learn from the EBF and if you sustain this practice, then the sky will be your limit.”
Secretary of Egbe Amofin, Mr. Ranti Ajeleti, said: “We bring greetings from our members, Egbe Amofin, and we thank you for the honour and respect done to our chairman, Chief Bandele Aiku, SAN, when he changed from mortality to immortality. Ironically, it is at death that he would answer his name because Aiku in Yoruba means immortality, thus he had all along borrowed the name.”
