Today is bigger than any one candidate. Throughout the ongoing NBA elections, I have received reports from lawyers across the country who say they have been unable to cast their votes due to challenges with the voting process. Regrettably, I have also been unable to cast my own vote despite repeated attempts. We have records showing that the system allows people to vote twice, when it should be one member one vote. Every eligible member of our Association deserves the opportunity to participate in a free, fair, transparent, and credible election. The integrity of our democratic process must inspire confidence in every voter. To everyone who believes in this vision, I urge you: do not give up. Continue trying to exercise your right to vote for as long as the voting window remains open. Leadership is tested most in difficult moments. Let us remain peaceful, resolute, and committed to protecting the credibility of our Association. Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN, FCIArb Candidate, Office of the President Nigerian Bar Association

Your dues are in one place. Your CPD is somewhere else. Your practice licence is on a third platform. Your directory profile is on a fourth. To get a letter of good standing, you visit two portals and wait three days. For a document that should take five minutes. The NBA already has all the pieces. An app. A portal. An ICLE platform. A stamp and seal ecosystem. A Find a Lawyer directory. None of them talk to each other. NBA One changes that. One login. One dashboard. Every NBA service in one place, tied to your Supreme Court Number. Delivered in 18 months. This is what a modern Bar looks like. Saturday 18 July 2026. Vote LOA. #ElevateTheBar #VoteLOA #NBAOne #DigitalTransformation #LOA2026 #18July #NBAElection2026

When many of us first took the oath, we carried more than our wigs and gowns. We carried hope. Hope for a profession that would challenge us, grow us, and stand with us through every stage of our journey. But for too many lawyers, that hope has gradually given way to disappointment. They have paid their dues, shown up year after year, and given their best to the profession, yet they have never truly felt the support of the Bar they belong to. That reality cannot be ignored. This campaign is not about pretending those experiences never happened. It is about acknowledging them and committing to something better. A Bar that listens before it speaks. A Bar that supports before it asks. A Bar that creates opportunities, protects its members, and restores confidence in our collective future. Because every lawyer deserves to feel that the Bar stands with them. Together, we will #ElevateTheBar. #LOAForNBAPresident #NBAElection #ElevateTheBar

Every generation is remembered for the choices it makes when it matters most. Our elders say, "A golden fish has no hiding place." They also remind us that, "A tree with deep roots fears no storm," and that, "The child who knows the way leads others home." These timeless sayings remind us that leadership is earned through character, preparation, and service. This election is about more than choosing a President. It is about choosing the direction of our profession. Over the course of this campaign, I have listened. I have engaged. I have reflected. I have travelled across our branches, met colleagues from every sphere of practice, and heard your hopes, your concerns, and your expectations for the Nigerian Bar Association. I have never asked you to support me because of my name or my record alone. I have asked you to examine my vision, scrutinise my ideas, and judge me by the clarity of my plans and the sincerity of my commitment to serve. I believe our Bar deserves leadership that unites rather than divides, inspires rather than merely impresses, and serves rather than seeks to be served. It deserves leadership that earns trust, protects the dignity of our profession, and leaves an enduring legacy for generations yet to come. When history looks back on this defining moment, I hope it will record that we chose competence over convenience, vision over sentiment, and service over self-interest. The future of our Association will not be determined by chance. It will be shaped by the choices we make together. On election day, I humbly ask for your vote and your confidence. Together, let us build a stronger, more respected, and more responsive Nigerian Bar Association. Vote Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN. Let us elevate the Bar we all deserve.
