Olumide Akpata, the former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has decided to disengage from his position as Senior Partner at Templars, a prominent law firm.
In an announcement from the company on August 24, 2023, it was conveyed that the ex-NBA President had officially informed the firm’s other partners and management about his intent to engage in active politics.
Consistent with the firm’s governance procedures, it was mutually decided that he would relinquish his position within the firm, effective Thursday, August 31, 2023.
Mr. Olumide Akpata recently announced his membership in the Labour Party and desire to contribute to national development rather than sit on the sidelines and criticise.
He has been seen in recent Labour party activities in his Edo state and many opine he’s gearing up to succeed Governor Obaseki.
However, it remains to be seen whether he’ll run in the upcoming Edo state election scheduled to be held around September next year.
