Former Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP in the last presidential election, Mr. Peter Obi, has advised the new Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SANs, to continue to use the law for the emancipation of the society.

Obi who  attended the reception of many new SANs spoke to the press at the reception of Mr. Peter Afuba, SAN, who was his Attorney General.

Describing himself as one  of the beneficiaries of the judiciary through the forensic efforts of his lawyers, Obi said that when those saddled with the task of upholding the law did the right things, that injustice would reduce in the society thereby enthroning sane and livable societies away from what he called “ Hobbesian state of nature.”

Expressing his happiness, Obi said that it was delightful seeing those closely associated  with him making progress in their chosen professions. Recalling  how his former aide, Chief Alexander Ejesieme became a SAN last year, he said his prayers remained  that God will  crown the  work of everybody making genuine efforts with success.
