OTEGBULU MICHAEL AKA OTB ONE OF THE UNSBA PRESIDENTIAL ASIPRANTS RESPONDS VEHEMENTLY SAYING " MY ANTECEDENTS WOULD SPEAK FOR ME "

AN INTERVIEW WITH OTEGBULU MICHAEL DOZIE (OTB) A CURRENT UNSBA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

Interviewer:  What is your name sir?

OTB:   My name is Otegbulu Michael Dozie popularly known as OTB, an erudite active member of the bar. I am currently forty years standing at the bar.

Interviewer: What inspired you to this dream of becoming the bar president?

OTB : I have always aspired to practice after leaving law school . This has spurred me to engage actively in mooting competitions, bar activities and legal debates.
    The particular need for UNSBAITES to acquaint themselves in the dynamics of practice and procedure. The desire came like an inspiration in my second year, second semester when a mock trial was organized by Barr Mrs Ogbuka , our then Legal system lecturer. After a dramatic turn of events had occurred , She questioned and doubted the plausibility of my being in second year and even requested for the class list to that effect.

Interviewer: Do you aspire to win?
OTB: Yes.

Interviewer: What if you lose?

OTB: My motivation is not the need to occupy office and as such I would still work hand in hand with the Government that wins.

Interviewer: On what would you guarantee your success?

OTB : My antecedents would speak for me.

Interviewer: What do you think about the current President’s administration?

OTB: We intend to surpass it. We realize that an academic section is not enough to properly prep any UNSBAITE in the rudiments of Bar advocacy and rules of procedure. With as much effort as is possible we shall try to salvage this.
  I am a believer in “ Bonu Eligerem” which means aiming at the highest good.

Interviewer:  What do you think about your opponent?

OTB:  Idam Ejimifor is a gentle man and a legal pundit well versed in the dictates and rudiments of advocacy and procedure. He is indeed a wordy contender.

Interviewer:  Do you think you are better than your opponent?

OTB:  I believe that I am better. Granted he is good, but in terms of managerial, administrative and legal contexts I am of the strong opinion without sounding boastful I am more experienced.
