The event also marked the remarkable presentation of 50 books authored by Professor Ozekhome, showcasing his extensive contributions to Nigeria’s legal landscape.
Professor Ozekhome, a distinguished legal scholar and advocate, has significantly impacted the legal profession in Nigeria.
His commitment to justice and the rule of law has resonated throughout his career, making him a revered figure in legal circles and beyond.
During his address, Obi highlighted the profound influence Ozekhome’s work has had on the Nigerian legal framework and society at large.
“Professor Ozekhome’s contributions to the legal profession and his commitment to justice have left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s legal landscape,” Obi stated.
He emphasized that Ozekhome’s 50 volumes, presented during the celebration, are not just a testament to his intellectual capabilities but also a reflection of his relentless pursuit of truth and justice.
Obi remarked on the pressing need for strong voices in today’s society, stating, “In an era where strong voices of reason and principle are needed, Professor Ozekhome stands out as a beacon of hope, fighting for the oppressed and championing the cause of the downtrodden.”
He underscored that Ozekhome’s work transcends mere legal practice, symbolizing a legacy of courage, integrity, and the relentless fight for a just and equitable society.
The 50 books launched at the celebration encompass a variety of legal topics, illustrating Ozekhome’s depth of knowledge and expertise in the field.
They serve as a valuable resource for legal practitioners, scholars, and students alike.
The books reflect his life’s mission to uphold the dignity of humanity and protect the sanctity of Nigeria’s Constitution, addressing pressing issues such as human rights, constitutional law, and social justice.
As the gathering celebrated Ozekhome’s achievements, it also prompted a collective recommitment to the core values he champions—justice, equality, and the defence of human rights.
Obi urged attendees to embody these principles in their everyday lives and their pursuits, reinforcing the importance of a just legal system in the foundation of a healthy democracy.
The event not only honoured Professor Ozekhome but also served as a reminder of the critical role that legal scholars and advocates play in shaping a just society.
With prominent leaders in attendance, including Obasanjo and Jonathan, the celebration fostered discussions about the future of justice and the rule of law in Nigeria, emphasizing the need for continued advocacy for the rights of the marginalized.

The celebration was a testament to the enduring legacy of a man dedicated to the fight for justice and the betterment of Nigerian society.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
