Ghanaian social media influencer and Youtuber Elorm Ababio, also known as Ama Governor, has been granted the opportunity to be called to the Bar for the year 2024.
The announcement comes as a significant milestone for Ababio, who has had a tumultuous two years concerning the decision by the Ghana Legal Council to call her to the Bar.
However, as reported by thelawplatform.online, in a list released by the Director of the Ghana School of Law, Ama Governor joins 181 other candidates qualified for this prestigious legal ceremony.
However, the list remains subject to change should the General Legal Council identify any discrepancies.
How did this start
In November 2022, Ama Governor was denied a call to the bar following a complaint filed by a 'concerned citizen'.
The complaint alleged that Ama Governor had been engaging in what was described as “conduct unbecoming of an applicant to be called to bar.”
The complaint led to the decision by the Legal Council to put a hold on her call to bar.
The decision was met with massive reactions both on and off social media as well as debates on the conduct of law students in Ghana.
Ama Governor rejected the allegations of misconduct levelled against her and insisted that she was unfairly treated.
In 2023, Ama Governor was again denied a call to the bar, sparking reactions.
In November 2023, she was cleared to proceed with her bar admission.
