Urges Senior lawyers to emulate example
Former Hon Attorney-General of the Federation & Minister of Justice, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, CON. SAN has sent his condolences on the demise of late legal luminary, Alhaji Aliyu Salman SAN.
Adetokunbo in a statement on Sunday described Alhaji Salman as a meticulous and thorough legal practitioner who enjoyed huge respect from both young and old at the bar.
His words:
“I met and had several opportunities to relate and interact with Dr Salman SAN, Life Bencher, from about 1985 and onwards.
“He was such a loveable and kind gentleman. He would always advise and guide us. He usually had a word to give about comportment at the Bar. He would ask after your family and give words of encouragement.
“I recall he was also a calming force in the tumultuous years of 1990 to 1998 at the Nigerian Bar Association, when pernicious forces were gnawing at our heels.
“Dr Salman showed and had within him, grace, a quiet sense of contentment and deep personal satisfaction with his life. He was easygoing and above all enjoyed a happy life.
“This is why we so much loved and respected him.”
While praying for strength and fortitude for family, associates and friends at this time, Adetokunbo implored senior lawyers to learn and emulate these simple yet edifying qualities of late Alhaji Aliyu Salman.
