Aare Akinboro Submits NBA Presidential Nomination Form, Draws Strong Showing of Young Lawyers.

Abuja, Nigeria — April 8, 2026.

Aare Olumuyiwa Akinboro, SAN, has formally submitted his nomination form for the office of President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), marking a significant procedural step in the lead-up to the Association’s forthcoming elections.

The nomination was submitted on Tuesday, April 8, 2026, in line with the guidelines issued by the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (ECNBA).

While the submission itself is a standard requirement in the electoral process, the moment drew notable attention due to the visible presence of colleagues, supporters, and a significant number of young lawyers who accompanied Akinboro to complete the process.

Observers described the turnout as indicative of growing interest among younger members of the Bar in the ongoing electoral cycle, as well as a reflection of wider engagement within the profession.

Speaking shortly after the submission, Akinboro expressed gratitude to God and acknowledged the support of colleagues and friends who have encouraged him to take the step.
“I give all glory to God Almighty who has made this moment possible,” he stated, while also appreciating the presence of those who came out in support.

Particularly striking was the participation of young lawyers, whose presence underscored ongoing conversations around generational inclusion, mentorship, and the future direction of the Nigerian Bar.

Although the formal campaign period has not yet commenced, developments such as nomination submissions continue to shape early perceptions and signal emerging alignments ahead of the elections.

With the nomination process underway, attention is expected to gradually shift toward compliance screening, candidate positioning, and broader engagement within the Bar.

Akinboro’s submission adds to the growing list of expected contenders and sets the stage for what is anticipated to be a closely watched electoral process within Nigeria’s legal community.
