Mr. Adesina Ogunlana, the immediate past Chairman of the Nigerian Bar
Association, Ikeja Branch and presidential aspirant in the forthcoming 2020
national elections of the Nigerian Bar Association has debunked rumours that he
has withdrawn from the presidential race in the forthcoming 2020 national
elections of the Nigerian Bar Association.
He took to his popular Facebook wall, where he commented thus:
"Our polite attention has been drawn to claims and insinuations in certain quarters that our absence at the meeting of the EGBE AMOFIN, the Yoruba Ethnic Lawyers' Group on Saturday 25/10/19 was consequent upon our decision to withdraw from the presidential race of the NBA ; in favour of a perticular aspirant.
Dear colleagues, kindly disregard such
wild and baseless claims.THE RADICAL AGENDA IS STILL VERY MUCH ON ..
We have not and will not withdraw from the race. Those who attended the the EGBE meeting were so entitled to for it is a mechanism they are comfortable with and approve of in realising their ambition. We wish them luck .
On our part, we will not run our race by the clock of others, especially the clock of OLIGARCHS who as a matter of the very dynamics of their existence stultify popular choices in the entrenchment and promotion of hidden parochial interests. We, who intensely desire to break new grounds, hand over power and responsibilities to the true owners of our dear Association, the Masses of Legal practitioners cannot tread old paths of elitist cliqueism to arrive at such a democratic landing .
Meanwhile our huge appreciation and gratitude to several well wishers who anxiously asked after us at the said EGBE MEETING . Thank you ."
