Gratitude! Gratitude!! Gratitude!!!
“At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer
The above quoted words eminently and appropriately capture the expression of my appreciation to you for your support, commitment and encouragement for my candidate for the office of General Secretary (Alex Muoka) learned Silks, Benchers, Seniors and Colleagues.
In the last few months I have disturbed you by sending you personal messages, emails, broadcasts etc even though I did not seek your prior consent but took it for granted that you will accept my incursions into your private space. I am eternally grateful to you for accommodating me.
I have disturbed you on several platforms where lawyers congregate for the purpose of selling the manifesto of my chosen candidate for the office of General Secretary of the NBA.
I have consistently disturbed you in the last few months (11 months) through these messages in the morning, afternoon, evening and even at odd hours of the day.
You have promised Alex Muoka your votes individually and I hold you to your words as you have on several occasions given me your words and you have never disappointed me. Not for once.
PLEASE NOTE THAT VOTING COMMENCES AT 11PM TODAY (IN 11 HOURS’ TIME) AND DO ENDEAVOR TO VOTE EARLY.
Thank you.
Adebola Olarotimi Lema
Secretary NBA Lagos Branch 2014-2015
