At the just concluded Call to Bar Ceremony in Jabi, Abuja, the embattled Chairman Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN, in heavy laced jabs with pungent adjectives and metaphors, attacked the leadership of NBA and those he perceived are after him due to envy.
The NBA had written Chief Olanipekun to rescue himself until the LPDC has finished investigation of professional misconduct against his law firm and a partner in the firm.
Without any remorse, Chief Olanipekun defiantly took to the rostrum and left the audience not in doubt as at whom he aimed his tele-guided verbal missiles.
Chief Olanipekun among other missiles, fired this; “And when you attain high offices, extend courtesies and respect to your seniors and predecessors in office. Do not run them down or speak ill of them”; to the hearing of about 1,507 graduands from the Nigerian Law School Campuses, being adorned the wig and robe as new lawyers by the Body of Benchers.
He further thundered “I pray that in due season, when God elevates each and every one of you and you become the cynosure of eyes, may no power principalities or blackmailer be able to bring you down.”
