A HEART FULL OF GRATITUDE

Dear Colleagues, Friends and Supporters,

The election has come and gone, and while the outcome was not what we hoped for, I remain deeply grateful for the incredible support, trust and confidence you placed in me throughout this journey.

To everyone who believed in me, stood by me and supported this vision against all odds, I say a heartfelt thank you. Your calls, messages, encouragement, endorsements, sacrifices and, ultimately, your votes meant more to me than words can adequately express.

We ran a campaign anchored on ideas, service and a genuine desire to build a stronger, smarter and more member-focused NBA Secretariat. Although we came second, I am immensely proud of what we achieved together and of the movement we built.

We are, of course, carefully reviewing the process and circumstances that led to and surrounded the election, and at the appropriate time, we will make our position known.

For now, my heart is filled with gratitude.

To every single person who stood with me, even when it was difficult to do so, thank you for believing in me. I do not take your support for granted.

This journey may have reached a significant turn, but my commitment to the Nigerian Bar Association and to the ideals of service, integrity and progress remains unwavering.

We gave it our all. We stood together. And for that, I will always be grateful.

Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for standing with me.
