Date: 2024-06-02

The Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has lauded Mallam (Professor) Yusuf Olaolu Ali, SAN, the founder of Ghalib Chambers, as a distinguished legal luminary whose immense contributions to the nation's legal profession are both significant and profound.

According to a news report from HighProfile, Shettima made these remarks on Saturday, 1st June 2024, during his address at the 30th anniversary celebration of Yusuf Ali & Co. (Ghalib Chambers) held at the Banquet Hall, opposite Government House, Ahmadu Bello Way, Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State.

The Vice President, who was the principal guest at the well-attended event, praised Mallam Ali as a prominent and unique legal practitioner who has greatly influenced the country's legal landscape and continues to do so.

He further noted that over the past three decades, Ghalib Chambers has delivered numerous high-quality legal services, benefitting both God and humanity across the nation.

Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the Chief Justice of Nigeria and chairman of the occasion, also commended Mallam Yusuf Ali, describing him as an exceptional and brilliant lawyer who has positively impacted many lives through his legal and humanitarian services.

Fashola, who spoke on the topic, “Presidential or Parliamentary System of Government: Where is the Convergence?”, explained that It does not necessarily require changing the style of government to achieve a reduced cost of governance.

According to him, instead of calling for a change of system of government, what should be ultimate in our minds is to desire a liberal democracy that would ensure better and improved livelihood of Nigerians.

While saying that he was not opposed to restructuring, Fashola maintained that he is an advocate of a presidential federal system of government and urged those calling for a return to the parliamentary system to reflect deeply on why it failed in the past and consider if the underlying issues have been resolved.

He called the attention of those calling for the return of the country to parliamentary system of government to think deeply and reconsider wether the reasons that caused its collapse before the first republic have been taken care of.

Fashola explained that Nigeria once practiced parliamentary system but failed and led the country into unwarranted disaster, saying that Nigeria left parliamentary system of government because it failed us, pointing out that why there is now an agitation to go back to it.

He said: “those calling for the change of system are instigated by economic reasons, if only they are confident the government would provide their economic need, they won't chant this clamour for change.”

He said “if there is sincerity of purpose, there will be better life for all even under the present system of government”.

Earlier in his address, Mallam Yusuf Ali described his legal trajectory as the one that is guided by God and gave thanks to Allah for His blessings and mercy upon him and his partners for what He has done for the Ghalib Chambers in the last three decades.
