Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mrs Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, on Saturday evening tightened her grip on the lead in the Nigerian Bar Association presidential election, moving closer to becoming the association’s first elected female president.Badejo-Okusanya is seeking to succeed the incumbent NBA President, Afam Osigwe (SAN).As of 7:30pm, The PUNCH observed on the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association election portal that Badejo-Okusanya had widened the gap, polling 10,554 votes, representing 46.16 per cent of the ballots counted.Her closest challenger, Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe (SAN), secured 7,020 votes, or 30.70 per cent, while Aare Olumuyiwa Akinboro (SAN) polled 5,289 votes, representing 23.13 per cent.The latest figures show that 22,863 votes had been counted, with Badejo-Okusanya extending her lead by more than 3,500 votes over her closest rival.Earlier in the day, results released as of 11:33am showed Badejo-Okusanya leading with 4,860 votes (41.77 per cent), ahead of Akangbe, who had 3,851 votes (33.10 per cent), while Akinboro polled 2,924 votes (25.13 per cent).Although the final results were still being awaited as of the time of filing this report, the latest tally indicates that the legal practitioners’ body is increasingly tilting in favour of Badejo-Okusanya.The development comes barely 24 hours after the NBA President, Afam Osigwe (SAN), dismissed allegations that he was attempting to rig or interfere in the association’s national officers’ election.Addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday, Osigwe insisted that the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association operated independently and took no instructions from him.He also denied claims that he was backing a preferred candidate, describing the allegations as politically motivated and unsupported by evidence.Related NewsADC faults Tinubu’s economic policies, promises better dealHit the ground running, Gombe gov tells 23 new commissionersAnambra court sentences two to death for rape, murder of mentally-impaired teenagerHis remarks followed weeks of controversy over the July 18 NBA election, with some presidential candidates and stakeholders questioning the integrity of the process, calling for the poll to be postponed, demanding mandatory National Identification Number verification for voters, and accusing the NBA leadership of attempting to influence the outcome.The association consistently denied the allegations, maintaining that only the Electoral Committee was constitutionally empowered to conduct the election.According to Osigwe, allegations that NBA elections had always been manipulated had never been substantiated in court.The NBA president also dismissed suggestions that his personal voting preference could influence the outcome of the election.Meanwhile, human rights lawyer and activist Deji Adeyanju has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to learn from the ongoing Nigerian Bar Association national election, saying it proves that secure electronic voting can work in Nigeria.Adeyanju disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday.He said, “I have just voted in the ongoing NBA election, and I must commend the Electoral Committee of the NBA for a seamless process.
