Ogunlana Adesina Ademola, the Chairman of the Radical Agenda
Movement in the Nigerian Bar Association and presidential aspirant in the
forthcoming 2020 national elections of the Nigerian Bar Association has
confirmed his presidential aspiration in spite of the adoption of Mr. Dele
Adesina SAN by the Egbe Amofin Yoruba as flag bearer of the ethnic irrendentist
group.
This was made known in a press statement issued by Ayo Ademiluyi, Secretary of Radical Agenda Movement in the Nigerian Bar Association (RAMINBA) and Director of Media, Strategy, Publicity
and Communications of ProgressiveBar2020.
Mr. Ogunlana took to his popular Facebook wall, where he commented thus:
"I understand that yesterday, Saturday , the 14th December 2019, a group of legal practitioners in South West Nigeria known as the EGBE AMOFIN, held a meeting at Ibadan, where the group adopted one of those of us aspiring to lead the NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION in 2020 as Presidential flagbearer.

May I congratulate the Egbe Amofin. May I also congratulate their choice, gentle man Dele Adesina, SAN who obviously mirrors their political perspectives, tendencies and inclinations. Fortunately , Democracy professes and thrives on electoral choices and preferences in a free and fair, level playing ground.
Thus as the Egbe Amofin
is entitled to propose and project a CHOICE, other bodies are so equally
entitled.
May I then use the opportunity to reiterate the fact that my humble self , OGUNLANA ADESINA ADEMOLA , immediate past chairman, NBA IKEJA BRANCH and Publisher of the SQUIB MAGAZINE is still very much in the race for the NBA Presidency.
My aspiration is on the activist platform of the
RADICAL AGENDA MOVEMENT IN THE NBA (RAMINBA)
Our position and proposition in this quest is anchored on the identification of our great Association as a most important factor in the crucial, critical labour of saving Nigeria from socio-political and economic ruin and effectively press the NBA to this great service, in the infallible view that 'NO NIGERIA, NO NBA.

Except the
NBA urgently and courageously rises to her historic and patriotic
salvationist duty of intervening in the affairs of Nigeria , our
country, our profession, already imperilled , shall be lost !
I respectfully call on all candidates and our respective support platforms to prosecute our aspirations with all sense of responsibility, fairness and decency. Monopoly of any sort is not Democracy'
