The statement read in part: “You have within these 40 years proved your mettle as a legal icon, a beacon of hope and crusader for justice, peace and development.
“A gaint in physique, intelligence and morality, Senior Advocate of Nigeria and one of our country’s finest legal minds whose landmark contributions to societal development cannot be over-emphasised”.
The union urged the legal icon to remain upright and dedicated to the service of man and society, adding, “may the fountain from where you draw strength and courage to support society never run dry”.
