GLC permits Ama Governor to complete application towards call to the Bar

Ghanaian social media influencer, Elomi Ababio popularly known as Ama Governor has achieved a breakthrough in her pursuit of being called to the bar.

Ama Governor, the aspiring lawyer’s journey to the fraternity faced a temporary setback when a complaint was filed by a concerned citizen and was denied a call to the Bar in November 2022, despite completing all requirements.

Ama Governor has revealed that she knew about the decision by the Ghana Legal Council (GLC) to permit her application to be called to the Bar as far back as March 2023.

A statement put forth by the council cited a complaint that referenced Ama Governor engaging in “conduct unbecoming of an applicant to be called to bar”.

However, in September 2023, a report by the General Legal Council at the 2022/2023 bar conference indicated that the complaint was considered by a committee and that she had been permitted to begin applications to be called to the Bar for the October/November 2023 sessions.

Taking to her Twitter handle, she added that she was confused as to why the committee’s discussion had been reported in September.

“A 13th March decision about me, that I’ve been keeping to myself, published in September not by me. I wonder why,” she posted.

The revelation was met with mixed reactions as some users wondered why she chose to keep the news to herself and continued with the narrative of her being unfairly treated.
