President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended warm congratulations to distinguished legal practitioner Babatunde Kwame Ogala, SAN, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, describing him as a patriotic Nigerian whose career has been marked by professionalism, integrity, loyalty and selfless service.
In a goodwill message, President Tinubu praised Ogala’s significant contributions to Nigeria’s democratic development and the growth of the All Progressives Congress (APC), highlighting his unwavering commitment to justice and good governance.
The President noted that Ogala served with distinction as the APC’s Head of Legal and later played key roles as Vice Chairman of the Legal Directorate of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council and Coordinator of the legal team that represented the party from the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal through proceedings at the Supreme Court.
According to the President, Ogala’s legal expertise, strategic counsel and steadfast dedication were instrumental in strengthening the legal framework of the APC’s successful 2023 presidential campaign while helping to uphold the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic process.
President Tinubu said Ogala’s accomplishments at the Nigerian Bar and within the APC remain an inspiration to younger generations of lawyers and political leaders.
He also commended the senior advocate for his service as Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Lagos State University (LASU), where he has continued to promote academic excellence, sound governance and institutional development.
