Ama Governor officially gains call to Ghana Bar after initial tussles

Popular Ghanaian YouTuber and law graduate, Elorm Ababio, popularly known as Ama Governor, has finally been called to the Bar after twice being denied by the General Legal Council (GLC) in 2022 and 2023.

She received her call in a 2024 Mini Call ceremony at the Accra International Conference Centre on Friday, May 31.

Ama Governor has faced several controversies in her bid to become a lawyer due allegedly "misbehaviour."

She completed her law degree from the Ghana School of Law in 2021 but faced hurdles in being enrolled as an advocate.

In 2022, the GLC declined her application to be called to the Bar, citing a complaint about her "conduct unbecoming of an applicant."

However, the specific allegations against her were never disclosed.

She faced rejection again in 2023 despite completing all requirements after she had been notified she was going to be called.

The GLC letter stated it was declining her application based on "elements noted in your public conduct prior to the application."

Ama Governor had vehemently denied any misconduct and described the GLC's decisions as unfair, saying she was not given a chance to address any complaints.

The lack of transparency about the allegations against her drew criticism from her supporters.

However, the GLC included Ama Governor in the list of 182 candidates scheduled to be enrolled as lawyers on May 31, 2024.
