One of the beauty of being physically present where lawyers are gathered, is that it gives you closer proximity to your colleagues, in a relax atmosphere.
Eastern Bar Forum Quarterly Meeting holding in Port Harcourt, is no exception to the rule. We networked, robbed shoulder with who is who practicing in South East or a citizen of any of the 9 states that make up the Old East Central State.

A lot of water went under the bridge and rift arose. As Tobenna, is Olumide Akpata’s paddy man, he got share of the flying missiles after June 9th 2022 Ilorin NEC meeting.
But as gentlemen, we agreed unspokenly to keep the details under wraps. Another issue that took centre stage, was the Lagos NBA AGC that he was the TCCP Chair. We compared the forthcoming NBA and the one chaired. He was reluctant to compare but kept saying, time tells a story; implying that it is too early to compare and that at the end of August, we will compare notes.On the rumor that he is interested in 2024 NBA Presidential race and complaint that he is not visible compared to other aspirants, he refused to be dragged in. He said that every man has his style and he wouldn’t be dragged into speculations. There is still about a year to NBA lifting of ban on campaign.But he could help but fart that he will be hosting conferees on the 28th in Abuja, during the AGC. Bu Rivers State Friends of Mr. Tobenna Erojikwe, are not waiting till 28th and have chosen to organize, Meet and Greet at Higi Hagga.
