Abuja-based lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has stepped aside from Law Corridor to pursue his political ambition ahead of the 2027 general election.
The Partners and Management of Law Corridor announced Olajengbesi’s exit in a statement issued on Wednesday, noting that the decision was in view of his political activities and aspirations for public service.
The firm explained that the decision was made in accordance with its internal governance framework, which requires it to maintain strict political neutrality.
The Deputy Managing Partner of the firm, Ganiyu Ajibola Bello, added that the partners appreciate Olajengbesi’s contributions to the firm’s growth.
He said, “This decision is in accordance with the Articles of Governance of Law Corridor, which uphold the firm’s long-standing policy of political neutrality.
“The Partners of the firm express their appreciation to Mr. Olajengbesi for his contributions to the growth and development of Law Corridor and wish him the very best in his public service aspirations.”
Olajengbesi aspires to occupy the Obokun–Oriade Federal Constituency seat of Osun State in the House of Representatives ahead of the 2027 general election.
Olajengbesi, who previously served as the Managing Partner of Law Corridor, returned to the firm’s leadership structure as Senior Partner and Group Lead for the Family, Succession and Wealth Management (FSW) Practice after completing his tenure as Managing Partner.
