Akpata Steps Aside From Law Firm To Pursue Political Ambition

Akpata recently joined the Labour Party in Edo State and expressed interest to contest the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

By Shola Soyele
Updated August 24, 2023

The Immediate-past President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olumide Akpata, has stepped aside from Templars, a leading law firm where he served as Senior Partner.

A statement by the firm dated August 24, 2023 stated the former NBA President formally notified the other partners and management of the firm of his decision to participate in active politics and in line with the firm’s governance protocols, it was agreed that he stepped aside from the firm with effect from Thursday, August 31, 2023.

The firm said this will enable him fully focus on his project of contributing towards nation building.

It will be recalled that Akpata recently joined the Labour Party in Edo State and expressed interest to contest the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

While thanking Akpata for the significant role he played in the growth of the firm, the firm said its clients will continue to be served by its over 100 lawyers led by twenty other partners (across different practice areas) working out of the Firm’s offices in Nigeria and Ghana.

Do you know how Labour Party is strong in Edo state? Seem you forgot that also they dusted your drug baron illegitimate presidential even in Lagos here during the election even with their rigging? A townhall is always different from a balabloo-blu-bulava

Does he have the means to fight Obaseki's schemes?
Obaseki's will move mountains and destroy his enemies to install a stooge.
His latest rallying motto is that it is the turn of Edo Central Isan.

The tribal King is here again

This is good news. Eventually the young ones will kick out the old clueless leaders we have in government.

But wait how is he Yoruba and also from Edo state?

Do you think Nigeria should allow anyone to
contest for election in any state without considering the State Of Origin??

Losers' Party.

At the end of the day, he took the risk and joined a party.

You are here sitting down and criticising him. Grow up, and get off this site, and join a party, form one, and let's hear your vision for your state or Nigeria.

You guys sit down here and cry all day long, yet, you refuse to take a risk

I am not a LP supporter, or a PDP or tinubu supporter by the way.
