Mr. Adesina Ogunlana , the immediate past Chairman of the Nigerian Bar
Association, Ikeja Branch , Convener of Citizens' Rally against Oppression and
presidential aspirant in the forthcoming 2020 national elections of the
Nigerian Bar Association graced the historic Bad Roads Protest called by the
Ota Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association on Thursday, 31st October, 2019.
This was made known in a press statement issued by Ayo Ademiluyi, the Secretary
of the Citizens' Rally against Oppression and Director of Media, Strategy,
Publicity and Communications of the ProgressiveBar2020.
It would be recalled that trailing Mr. Ogunlana's phenomenal visit to
Maiduguri, Borno State capital to join the Maiduguri Branch of the Nigerian Bar
Association in their protest against Lawyers' harrassment , he was invited to
grave the Bad Roads Protest by the Ota Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association
in a reflection of the widening echo of his #RadicalAgenda for the Nigerian Bar
Association.
Mr. Ogunlana , took to his popular Facebook page to narrate what transpired from the
Frontline thus:
"Wow, what a day! Members of the NBA Ota Branch , Ogun state
this morning at about 8: 50 am commenced a street protest
against the horrible conditions of roads in Ota Town ,specifically and in OGUN
State in general , marching , singing , declaimjng, carrying
placards and banners and making speeches through major roads of the town
in deplorable state from the OPEN GROUND, opposite ACCESS COLLEGE,
ending same at the Secretariat of the Ota Local Government .
The exercise which attracted about 70 members and no less than 30 security
personnel at its peak, ended at 11:08 am and saw the protesters covering
no less than four kilometres in their meandering movements .
Leading the charge was Isaac Ogbah, the Ota Branch Chairman , ably supported by
his Secretary and other executives, all who were happy with the
presence of the TEAM RADICAL AGENDA at the protest . Torrents of approval
of the action by the lawyers came continuously from residents and
passers by, followed by heart felt prayers and other sundry
expressions of good will. It was also an occasdion for impassioned
speeches by Chairman Isaac Ogbah, Adesina ' Radical, Agenda' Ogunlana ( a
sort of special guest of honour cum 'Aluta 'Mentor) Lady Ajose and several
other members .
The constant theme of the speeches is the utter disgust with the
horrible state of the towns roads and the irresponsibility if givernment jn
that regard. On at least five occasions during the protests , the
Branch issued 14 days' ultimatum to the FG and the OGUN State government
to fix the roads or else incur the wrath of the community"
