I Won’t Abandon Politics For Law — Osita Izunaso

Former All Progressives Congress (APC) Organising Secretary,
Osita Izunaso, Esq, has said that he will never abandon politics to
practice law despite been called to Bar recently.

Speaking on the sideline in Abuja at a dinner organised in his
honour to mark the feat, the Imo-born politician pointed out that
he is going to combine the two professions.

Asked pointedly whether he is shifting from politics to law, he
replied: ‘No, I will not shift from politics to law because we are
already in politics but law is only the icing on the cake while the
cake itself is politics.

‘However, law is not something I will study and abandon.

‘And I must go through the whole rank of being a lawyer. You
will see me in court and other places but not at the detriment of
politics. I am going to combine it,’ he emphasised.

On why he went back to school to study law, the APC chieftain
said: ‘Law is all-encompassing. Law is about everything. We have
medical law, science law, space law, marriage law and environmental
law. Law is about everything.

‘Law to me is the basic rudiments of study. That is why you will
see medical doctors come back to read law, but you hardly see
lawyers go back to read medicine. Because law is the rudiment, root
and backbone,’ he argued.

Speaking further on the choice of the discipline, the former
lawmaker, said: ‘I give God who enabled me to start and finish the
glory. It is something that I believe in, something that is so dear
to me, all my life. I know that someday, sometimes I will come back
to that law.

‘I am happy that I was able to scale through all the crucibles.
You know it is a rope. You move from stage one to stage two until
you get to the final stage. So, it is only God Almighty that made
it possible for us to finish and today we are telling the
story.

‘I will only encourage other people to pursue their passion. Do
what you believe in. No time is late for you to pursue what you
believe in. People have advised me to work harder. I have always
known that the reward for hard work is hard work. When people say
you have done well, they are only reminding you that you need to
work harder. So I am going to work harder than I have work
before.

‘What I can tell those that came to honour me is whatever you
believe in, pursue it. There is no time limit for you to achieve
your heart desires. And whatever you want to do, do it well. No
time is late. Do it well,’ he quipped.
