Chief Emeka Obegolu SAN has paid tribute to deceased Lawyer and media personality, Ogaga Emoghwanre who he said was an invaluable asset to the NBA and therefore his departure represented a grave loss and challenging moment for the NBA.
In a tribute made available to TheNigeriaLawyer, the learned silk expressed how he was heart broken when he heard the death of Emoghwanre. “I received news of the passing of Ogaga Emoghwanre! The impact of that new was severe and heavy, as it rekindled the reality, finality and unpredictable nature of death…. “A necessary end, which will come when it will come”- Shakespeare in “Julius Caesar.” he said.
According to Obegolu SAN, Mr. Emoghwanre will be remembered for long interactive moments he shared with colleagues in the noble profession. He stated that Ogaga projected himself to the limelight recently when he offered to serve as Publicity Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association.
Thus, Obegolu SAN stated that his loss had very significant impact on the NBA. His words read in part thus: “His departure is certainly a grave loss, and a challenging moment especially for the Nigerian Bar Association, given his invaluable services as Personal Assistant to the NBA President in the last administration. In particular, he served as Publicity Secretary to the NBA Benin branch (the Lion Bar). Ogaga was also the Secretary of the NBA National Welfare Committee. These were active offices he held until his death.”
Still remarking on the very good nature of Emoghwanre, Obegolu continued thus: “Ogaga was such a man in the circle of the members of the Nigerian Bar Association.
He displayed vigor, enthusiasm, comradery and dedication during his contest for Publicity Secretary of NBA. He endeared himself to all, a jolly good fellow, fondly known for the remarks “it is a crime to pass through this world unnoticed”.
Furthermoree, the learned silk making reference to the words of writers, William Shakespeare and Samuel Butler, summed up that Ogaga Emoghwanre is a man that his actions would be noticed and his memory never forgotten.
He paid condolences to the family, the NBA and encouraged his colleagues thus: “I hereby extend my condolences to his wife and family, friends and colleagues, especially Mr. Olumide Akpata, the immediate past president of NBA whom Ogaga called boss, padi, and elder brother. Let me also encourage the entire members of the Nigerian Bar to take solace in the fact that this great colleague has led a lifestyle of service to the Bar and humanity in general. A true Bar Man, he served the Bar until his last breath. God knows the best!”
