Elections: “My Life Is Under Threat On Account Of My Convictions And Advocacies” – Adegboruwa SAN

*Insists That No Human Life Is Worth The Political Ambition Of Anyone

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria and vocal rights activist, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa SAN has raised an alarm over threats to his life from undisclosed quarters.

Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa who is a renowned social critic and public affairs commentator stated that the threats are linked to his ideological stance and convictions on issues of national development.

In a statement made available to TheNigeriaLawyer, he stated that his philanthropic engagements and advocacies in relation to the campaign for good governance, rule of law and accountability should not warrant any threat to his life at all, either from politicians or the government.

He wrote, “In recent times, I have noticed and been warned of attempts upon my life, based purely on my convictions, advocacies and actions, especially in relation to the campaign for good governance, rule of law and accountability.

I do not belong to any political party and I have no political affiliation in any manner whatsoever. My training, professionally and spiritually, is to be of service to the people, to mentor people, secure justice and to transform lives, for good.

As I do not yet have the financial power to undertake philanthropic engagements to birth my convictions, I deploy my professional experience, knowledge and services to campaign for a better society, where justice and peace shall reign.

This should not warrant any threat to my life at all, either from politicians or from the government. Power belongs to God. No human life should be worth the political ambition of anyone.”

While calling on Nigerians to pray for him, he added that the government and security agencies should be held accountable should anything happen to him.

According to him, “All that the people of Nigeria seek is good leadership, a better life through efficient management of our resources, security of lives and property, durable infrastructure that will galvanize improved economic conditions and good governance.

This should not constitute a threat to the ambition of any politician or indeed a threat to the life of any advocate. While my views and actions may seem to antagonize or support certain political tendencies depending on the divide, I bear no allegiance to any political party.”

In regard to the 2023 general elections, the Lesrned Silk stated that anyone that Nigerians consider as worthy of their votes in free, fair and credible elections, will also be his leader. “I do not suport or oppose anyone; my constituency is Nigeria.”

“With the help of God, I shall continue the revolutionary struggles for which I have been trained and known, notwithstanding the threats. My life is in the hands of God.” He concluded.
