But this seems to have fallen on deaf ears as the forum has agreed to convene to adopt a candidate of their choice. In the letter dated 1st Feburary,2018, A Akpan Abotti, Esq who stated that he is not involved in the plan of EBF to adopt a candidate of their choice also pointed out that responsible members of the EBF will not be attending the meeting and if they do, will not participate in the adoption process. Below reads the Letter I write as a founding member of Eastern Bar Forum and one time Chairman of NBA Ikot Ekpene branch. I recall the warning of Mr President at the NEC meeting held in Uyo whereby the leadership of the Eastern Forum was advised to thread softly till when political activities for the election into positions in our association is lifted. I am constrained to inform Mr President that not minding this warning that the leadership of Eastern Bar Forum has decided to convene a meeting of the Council for Thursady 1st February,2018 preparatory for adoption of Chief Arthur Obi Okafor(SAN) as their candidate for the presidency of the Nigerian Bar Association(NBA) on Saturday February 3,2018 in Portharcourt.I know there is no vacancy in the office of the President. I am not in support of the authority of the President being undermined and as such a lot of responsible members are not attending the meeting .Even if they do,will not take part in the planned adoption. ]]>
