Interview with Idam Ejimofor
Introduce yourself?
I am Idam Ejimofor, a 400 level law student, Director of Litigation Gret Chambers, former treasurer Gret Chambers; a dedicated and passionate UNSBITE that believes in uplifting the bar.
How do you combine your academics with UNSBA Activities?
I believe that UNSBA Activities is part of my academic curriculum and my academics is not complete without the UNSBA activities, as reading makes a good lawyer drafting a better lawyer and procedure an exact lawyer.
What motivated you to Run for UNSBA President?
Since my first year, I have always been interested and passionate about UNSBA Activities, even during my secondary school days; I was tipped to study law by my classmates and teachers. I believe I am capable if given the position to involve all UNABITES to uplift UNSBA so that students will get to the Apex of the profession and advance the Nigeria legal system.
During the finals of the Mock trails, the sponsor Barr. JMCC Ogbnka commented on the small number of people that were present where; if elected what will you do about this?
Apathy is one of the major problems faced by UNSBA and to give this I intend to create a unique information source and channel, through which we will relate information with the various classes because I believe that the problem is the information gap.
I also intend to create an interactive UNSBA website with online case review whereby people will go and get information so as to inspire belief among UNSBITES and get their interest in UNSBA.
What happens if you lose?
(Laughs)
This is one of the most difficult question you can ask a politician but I believe that politics is not a do or die affair, and that I am going there to advance the popular cause, which is the will of the people, what the people wants, so if the people say “go and rest” I will allow the people to decide and I will go and rest.
In addition I will support those that won, to ensure that the bar is moved forward.
What is it, that you thank, that Guarantee your success?
MY MANIFESTO; I believe that UNSBITES are reasonable people who will weigh the manifesto of both sides in the imaginary scale and I bELIEVE THAT MY MANIFESTO BEING THE BETTER ONE WILL DELIVER ME.
I believe that being a zealous, keen and interested UNSbite driven by passion and not by money or other pecuniary interest, I will get the mandate of the people.
What is your view of the present UNSBA administration?
Emenike as a person has done well, he has made several innovations like- the first 1st year legal debate, and ensuring the award of prizes in all competitions which increases the spirit of participation. His victories in external competitions also lend credence to the quality of his administration.
That is why I preach continuity and consolidation. We hope to improve on the standard he have set and also consolidate by make move innovations.
What do you think about your opponent OTB?
I believe that we are both members of the bar and I don’t engage in campaign of calumny, I believe that he have played his own part on the bar, he have done the things he needs to do to satisfy his own quest in UNSBA.
Why do you think that UNSBites should choose you over your opponent?
We have different ideologies and visions; I believe that my own ideas and vision will serve UNSBA better than every other.
Considering the Nature of Elections, how do you hope to avoid post-election conflict with your opponent?
This same question was posed to Abraham Lincoln after his election victory and I adopt his answer by saying that my administration will be open for everybody both the winners and losers to coordinate our unique attributes. I believe that conflict results out of a breakdown in communication and a society without open communication is open to conflict, thus, I will ensure that the communication channels are open to avoid conflict.
Thank you very much, Good luck, it have been nice talking to you.
Thank you too.
