Edo 2024: Olumide Akpata The Shining Star That Is Taking Labour Party By Storm 

The upcoming Edo Gubernatorial elections are set to dominate the political landscape for the foreseeable future, captivating attention and anticipation across the state. With the elections looming, the spotlight is firmly fixed on the dynamics of this political showdown, expected to influence governance and development profoundly.

At the heart of this intriguing political saga is the Labour Party, gaining substantial ground among the electorate, largely due to the ascension of a quintessential figure who stands at the epicenter of Edo's political scene - Olumide Akpata.

More than just a sharp, intelligent leader deeply connected to grassroots sentiments, Akpata is a catalyst for change. His unprecedented achievement in breaking a 28-year tradition among Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) to assume the prestigious role of NBA President underscores his trailblazing spirit and solidifies his reputation as an innovator.

Currently, Akpata's consultations across the state are creating ripples within the LP and beyond. While some link his aspirations to the backing of notable political figures, the reality differs significantly. Akpata's drive is not merely to secure political endorsements but to resonate profoundly with the populace and affect meaningful change.

Speculations abound, trying to link Akpata's aspirations with Governor Godwin Obaseki or attribute corporate motives to his political strides. Even the NBA's involvement is suggested, but these conjectures might simply stem from the fact that success often garners multiple interpretations, not necessarily reflecting the truth.

So, who is Olumide Akpata, revolutionizing the LP and the political spectrum in Edo?

Born on October 7, 1972, in Edo State, Nigeria, Olumide Akpata is a highly esteemed Nigerian legal practitioner and politician. His legal journey commenced at the University of Benin, culminating in his admission to the bar in 1993.

From his early days in Delta State under the tutelage of Dr. Mudiaga Odje, a distinguished Senior Advocate of Nigeria, OFR, to co-founding the Templars law firm in Lagos, Akpata's professional trajectory has been remarkable. His contributions propelled Templars into a position of eminence, housing nearly 100 lawyers, including two Senior Advocates of Nigeria proficient in diverse areas of Nigerian law.

Serving as the senior partner and Head of the Corporate & Commercial Practice Group at Templars, Akpata's involvement in transformative transactions shaped commercial law practice in Nigeria. He also chaired the Nigeria Bar Association Section on Business Law (NBA-SBL), showcasing his leadership within the legal domain.

In July 2020, Akpata scripted history by becoming the first non-Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 28 years to ascend to the position of the Nigerian Bar Association president, a testament to his exceptional leadership and trust within the legal fraternity.

In the quest for effective governance, the qualities sought in a prospective governor are pivotal for societal progress. Leadership, integrity, vision, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to public service form the bedrock of a prosperous society.

Olumide Akpata, with a repertoire of these essential attributes, embodies the potential for transformative governance. His emergence offers a glimpse into a promising era of impactful and people-centric leadership. Akpata's journey stands as a testament to the belief that genuine leadership transcends ambition, emphasizing the pivotal role of these quintessential virtues.

Olumide, you have no roots in Edo politically
You are a Bini man it's simply not tenable that a Bini man will take over from a Bini Man. I am a Bini man as well, but we must speak the truth.

You are better off building your profile in the state and look to run for one the national assembly seats next elections.

Best advice for him. I also share this thought, Obaseki a Bini man cannot hand over power to anoda Bini man. Power should rotate to Central.
