Press Release

Otu Oka-Iwu Abuja heartily congratulates her members who contested in the just concluded NBA election and won with a landslide victory.

Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, Lolo Bridget Edokwe and Mazi Eric Ibe were declared winners as President, Publicity Secretary and a Member of the General Council respectively.

Bridget Edokwe, National Publicity Secretary

We extend our gratitude to all our members for standing behind our brothers and sister. We have no doubt that the trio will deliver on their campaign promises.

Mazi Eric Ibe, Esq, Member of the General Council

We also congratulate all other contestants who were declared winners in their various positions, including:
1st Vice President, Sabadtine Anya
2nd Vice President, Mrs. Bolatumi Olasunbo Animashaun
3rd Vice President, Mrs. Zainab Aminu Garba
General Secretary, Dr. Mobolaji Idris Ojibara
Assistant Secretary General, Henry Barnabas Ehi
Treasurer, Mrs. Blessing Imo Udofa-Poromon
Welfare Secretary, Mr. Nyada Auta
Assistant Publicity Secretary, Miss Ebiere Emmanuella Ekpese and all the NBA Representatives to the General Council.

We implore the winners not to make their victory a “winner takes it all” affairs. They should carry along every other contestant and, as a matter of fact, all lawyers in their decisions, consulting widely for the cross-pollination of ideas and far-reaching achievements.

We note that elections do not end when positions are won; delivering on the mandate is key. All hands must, therefore, be on deck for more, better, and greater heights. Our support should not wane; let’s continue to lend a hand and ensure that the administration of Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, succeeds beyond expectations. Two years is not much, but a lot can still be achieved, and we are confident that the Mazi Afam-led administration will hit the ground running.

Otu Oka-Iwu Abuja calls for a review of the tenure of NBA officials to three (3) years. This will enable more stability in the affairs of the NBA, as the current two-years tenure does not afford enough quality time for the consolidation of programs. Extending the tenure will solidify achievements and ensure sustained progress.

Congratulations once again to all the winners!

Chief Chidi Udekwe
President
Otu Oka-iwu
Abuja
