Background

Social media influencer and lawyer-in-waiting, Elorm Aba Ababio, also known as Ama Governor was denied a Call to the Bar by the General Legal Council for the second time running.

According to a letter sighted by GhanaWeb, dated 18 October 2023 and signed by Justice Cyra Pamela C. A. Koranteng (JA); the Judicial Secretary, the decision was based on the Council's scrutiny of Ms. Elorm Ababio's conduct leading up to her application.

Following a meeting held on Tuesday, 17 October 2023 the General Legal Council resolved that Ms. Elorm Ababio's application should be declined due to certain elements noted in her public conduct prior to the submission of her application.

The Council reached two decisions:

Ms. Elorm Ababio is permitted to complete the necessary forms for application to be Called to the Bar at any point in time after the 20 October 2023 event.

In the interim, the General Legal Council will continue to monitor Ms. Elorm Ababio's conduct.
