RE: RAMINBA'S CALL FOR RESIGNATION OF CHIEF WOLE OLANIPEKUN SAN FROM NBA BOT

The Radical Agenda Movement in the Nigerian Bar Association on Thursday, 27th February, 2020 issued two separate releases calling for the resignation of Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN from the Trusteeship of the Nigerian Bar Association . The call was unneccessary as the learned silk is not a member, presently, of the elite corps (BOARD OF TRUSTEES)  . It is a mistake , regrettable one at that and the  Radical Agenda Movement In the Nigerian Bar Association  TAKE FULL  RESPONSIBILITY.

It amounts to infamy for the counsel involved who are both long time silks to bring up such application for review of the judgement of the apex court in the Bayelsa Gubernatorial Election Dispute .The Court accused both of them of taking action  calculated to descreate the court , a very serious charge indeed in our view .

All those who have criticised us  for demanding that Olanipekun resigns from a body he does not belong to , are in order . Those who are abusing on the same score are also in order . We welcome their scurrilious language, their guttersnipe , those are the hall marks of their self vaunted learning and scholarship . We congratulate them .We are used to the vitriols of those who for all shades of bigotry and self- capture, deify fallible  mortals and turn them to infallible  tin gods  and are very uncomfortable when their gods are reproached,  no matter how justifiable .

We here at RAMINBA are not inclined to be crowd- swayed but to do our utmost to stand by our  considered convictions and the Truth as we sincerely see it .....EVEN IF WE ARE STANDING ALONE .

Thank You.
