In yet another significant development for the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) presidential race, Dr. Mike Ajogwu SAN, former Chairman and Leader of the NBA Nsukka Branch, has officially endorsed Tobenna Erojikwe for the position of NBA President.
Dr. Ajogwu, a respected figure in the Nigerian legal community and father of renowned legal practitioner and scholar Prof. Fabian Ajogwu SAN, expressed his confidence in Erojikwe’s capabilities to lead the NBA into a new era of growth and innovation.
The senior advocate emphasised Erojikwe’s vision for the NBA, saying, “Tobenna has demonstrated a clear understanding of the evolving landscape of legal practice in Nigeria. His plans for modernising the NBA and enhancing professional development opportunities for young lawyers are exactly what our association needs at this critical juncture.”
Dr. Ajogwu also praised Erojikwe’s integrity and leadership skills. “In my years of practice, I have come to recognise the qualities that make an exceptional leader. Tobenna possesses them all: integrity, vision, and the ability to unite diverse groups towards a common goal.”
Highlighting the importance of this election for the future of the NBA, Dr. Ajogwu added, “The challenges facing our profession are significant, but so are the opportunities. I believe Tobenna Erojikwe has the energy, ideas, and leadership skills to navigate these challenges and position the NBA for continued relevance and growth in the 21st century.”
The endorsement from such a respected figure in the legal community is expected to significantly boost Erojikwe’s campaign. Dr. Ajogwu’s support, given his standing as a former NBA branch chairman, adds considerable weight to Erojikwe’s candidature.
