Meanwhile, Gadzama was also hosted to a reception by some members of the NBA Ilorin Branch led by the past Chairman of the branch, Mr. M. I. Akande.

Below are statements made available to CITY LAWYER.

IT WAS ALL SMILES AS MEMBERS OF GOMBE BAR ROAR SUPPORT FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRATION OF JOE-KYARI GADZAMA, OFR, MFR, SAN

(Financial Secretary Abuja Branch,Unity Bar and Juniour Partner at J-K Gadzama LLP), Tengya Jochebed Habila,Esq.(Young lawyer, J-K Gadzama LLP), metamorphosed into a gathering of men and women of inexhaustible value.

The Iftar was anchored by Luka Haruna, Esq., a seasoned lawyer with a thriving practice under the name and style of L. A. Haruna & Co. in the heart of Gombe State, and a mentee of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN.

In his opening remark, he pronounced Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN as a man who is not just competent but most credible leader who has shown commitment and dire desire to secure the future of the bar in all ramifications through different endeavors and landmark activities. He recognized the fact that acclaimed Silk is an employer of labour in his hometown, Nigeria at large, Africa and beyond its shores.

“If one man can accomplish all these feat, we all can support him and become another J-K Gadzama, SAN and even better,” he concluded.

Steve Abah, Esq. who is the Vice Chairman of NBA SPIDEL, praised Chief J-K Gadzama, SAN as a man who qualifies to speak to the conscience of lawyers and people in Nigeria, Africa and the world.

Steve Abah, Esq., the Vice Chairman of NBA SPIDEL, gave a narration on the transparency and accountability showcased by Chief J-K Gadzama, SAN in 2005, who was the first chairman of the Conference Planning Committee amongst many others to produce bank statements of the funds accrued and disbursed in the organization of the conference. So rare!

J-K Gadzama, SAN is indeed a man whose pedigree has no equal in the Nigerian Bar. He is omnipresent as far as legal practice and integrity is concerned.

“Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama,SAN is a household name of outstanding qualification because he has set the records and broken unthinkable records as a mentor, trainer, man of value and epitome of excellence,” he added.

Going further, quoting Honourable Jalal Arabi, Esq. ,the former Permanent Secretary to the Federal Government, who was present at Iftar with Chief J-K Gadzama, SAN said “…I have known J-K Gadzama, SAN for 30 years, he was my school mate, been a friend, and family. I am not here to shower accolades on the learned silk because of my acquaintance with him, but I am here on my honour, and my word is my bond.

J-K Gadzama, SAN is not a new name, it is a name registered in the hearts and lives of Nigerians. It is nowhere written that a person shall be chastised for projecting his interest or aspiration, provided that it is fair and just.

Learned Silk is a global team player and a non-generationalist deserving of all the love and support needed to put him in any position…”

He spoke laudably about J-k Gadzama,SAN and concluded his speech by urging distinguished lawyers present to bolster up and identify themselves with a man who needs no introduction.

Mohammed Monguno, Esq., the former Attorney General of Borno State, and a Partner at J-K Gadzama LLP, elaborated on the bar activism, commitment, and doggedness of Chief J-K Gadzama, SAN.

His nature has earned him the titles of Order of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (OFR), and Member of the Order of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (MFR).

“He has been recognized traditionally in Nigeria by the people of different regions as the Sarduana of Uba, Okwuluora of Ukpo, and the Bobajiro of Akure and many more titles to come…” J-K Gadzama, SAN has proven himself and that is enough, he added.

Abubakar Mohammed, Esq., past Chairman of Bauchi Branch and Deputy Director of Ministry of Justice described himself as an embryo in the legal profession in comparison to Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN. He encouraged lawyers to secure their future by standing with eminent Silk.

The Attorney General of Bauchi State, Abubakar Abdulhamid Bununu, Esq. pledged to go anywhere Chief J-K Gadzama, SAN, travel with with him, be with him, reserve nothing and promote the brand of learned silk.

He prayed for God to see Chief J-K Gadzama, SAN through every endeavor, for good people to identify themselves with the only sure leader, for kind hearted individuals to rise and rally around learned silk, good health and for the Almighty God to expose the schemes of the wicked.

Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN in response to words of wisdom spoken about him and the future of the Bar, recognized all leaders for their outstanding contributions towards his aspiration, thanked lawyers and the majority of young lawyers who were at Iftar with him.

Revered Silk brought to bare the backwardness and struggles of the North-East and indulge them to show loyalty to the future of the Bar by adhering to the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended), NBA Constitution, and God almighty, as these three are pillars upon which he stands.

He notably said “…a leader is not a leader until he listens to his people…”. He emphasized on service which is the roadmap to greatness as the greatest amongst them all is a servant. Learned Silk implore lawyers at Gombe and supporters from other States to synergize their talents and key into the vision that comes with the assurance of fulfillment.

“My word is my bond, I have a track record of fulfilling all my promises and have evidence of same”. He concluded.

Mela Audu Nunghe, SAN heartily showed gratitude to all the lawyers gathered to recognize the presence of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN.

He marveled at the number of people gathered to listen and interact with J-K Gadzama, SAN and his entourage. He expounded on the need to tag and be moved by reality by surrounding themselves with a man whose record speaks volumes about his capacity. “J-K Gadzama, SAN knows it and has it all at his fingertips.”

Honourable Rambi Ibrahim Ayala,Esq., a lawyer with thriving practice in Gombe and member, State house of Assembly, Gombe State promised to stay and do the work that has the name of J-K Gadzama, SAN on. He pledged his support and that of his establishment to the course of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama, SAN.

He said the last prayers.

Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama,SAN is indeed not out to merely do the business of law. But he is out in order to enable the Nigerian Bar to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement.
