Adeleke Agbola SAN, the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee and Electoral Committee, expressed gratitude to the NBA Surulere Branch electorates for their cooperation in the peaceful conduct of the election. He congratulated the winners and urged them to be magnanimous in victory while appreciating the losers for their gallantry, emphasizing that failure is merely a postponed success.
Agbola also acknowledged the efforts of the former Surulere Lawyers’ Forum in facilitating a smooth transition from a forum to a Branch, which culminated in the election. He wished the newly elected NBA Surulere Branch Executives a successful and impactful tenure.
