“Dear esteemed members of the Nigerian Bar Association,
As we step into the New Year 2025, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and cooperation during my tenure as the 2nd Vice President between the year 2022 to 2024.
As we celebrate the dawn of a new year, I urge you all to remain committed to the noble principles of our profession. Let us continue to uphold the truth at all time and the rule of law in Nigeria. Let us resist the temptation to compromise our values and integrity, even when faced with enticing offers from politically exposed politicians and senior lawyers amongst us that hobnobs with the cause of problems facing our profession and this country.
Instead, let us stand firm in our resolve to promote justice, fairness, and equality for all Nigerians. Let us continue to work together to build a stronger, more vibrant association that truly represents the interests of its members.
Once again, thank you for your trust, support, and camaraderie. I wish you all a happy, prosperous, and fulfilling New Year 2025.
May our association continue to thrive and may our profession remain a beacon of hope and justice for our great nation.
Sincerely,
Clement Chukwuemeka
(#Democrat2030)
Immediate Past 2nd Vice President, Nigerian Bar Association”
