Chairman of its conference planning committee, Mr. Afam Osigwe, SAN, maintained that Portable’s presence at the event was purely for the sake of entertainment and not to set moral standard for lawyers.
“I am the Chairman of the conference planning committee and I take responsibility for everything. When I hear comments about Portable, I ask myself, did we bring him to be an ambassador of the NBA or to entertain guests.
“We brought Portable to entertain lawyers, not to set moral standard. It was for entertainment”
