Olisa Agbakoba

President Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed that the former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has successfully proved his position as a patriot and dependable nationalist as he turns 65.

The President, in a birthday message issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, said that Agbakoba has left his footprints in the development history of Nigeria.

Buhari commended the legal luminary for his relentless fight for the return of democracy in the country, and his sustained and purposeful effort in ensuring that the principles and practice of good democratic governance become a norm.

He described the celebrant as a human rights activist who is blessed with celebrating his many achievements over the years, “most notably his strong advocacy for the rule of law and a better life for the underprivileged.”

The President then prayed to God to grant Agbakoba longer life, more strength and wisdom to keep serving the country.
