A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mrs Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, has taken an early lead in the Nigerian Bar Association presidential election, putting her on course to become the association’s first female president if the trend is sustained.
In the early results released as of 11:33 am on Saturday, PUNCH Online findings showed that Badejo-Okusanya polled 4,860 votes, representing 41.77 per cent of the ballots counted.
Her closest challenger, Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe (SAN), secured 3,851 votes or 33.10 per cent, while Aare Olumuyiwa Akinboro (SAN) garnered 2,924 votes, representing 25.13 per cent.
Although final results were still being awaited as of the time of filing this report, the 11,600 votes cast so far suggested that the legal practitioners’ body was tilting in favour of Badejo-Okusanya.
