“All around us are instances of transition in the different spheres of our national lives from the NBA where a newly elected President and Executive Committee members are scheduled to take up the reins of power to the national level where activities are on top gear for the 2023 general election that will birth a democratic transition from one democratically elected President to another, for the fifth time in the 4th Republic,” he said.
Meanwhile, Nigerians on social media have reacted to the ovation that Mr Obi received from the country’s legal practitioners.
