But for a dislocated arm from an injury sustained during a practice football game, Aaron, the eldest son of the late former minister of state for Labour and Employment, Barrister James Ocholi, would have also been involved in the accident that led to the death of his father, mother and younger brother.
LEADERSHIP gathered that Ocholi, who was returning from a church thanksgiving service in Kaduna, would have travelled with his eldest son, Aaron, but was forced to leave him behind after he sustained a dislocation on his right arm while playing football.
Meanwhile, 25 year old Aaron, a young lawyer who was called to the Nigerian Bar in October, has vowed to sustain his father’s legacy in the legal profession.
Reports recalls that Aaron was called to bar on the same day his father, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), was screened by the National Assembly for his ministerial position and the late minister was unable to attend his son’s call to bar.
But at a reception organized for him by friends and well-wishers at the Sheraton Hotel on the same day, Ocholi had joked that as he was leaving legal profession to serve his country, his son would be taking over from him.
Just few months after making that statement, Aaron has now been forced by providence to shoulder that legacy. And while receiving the body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) in Abuja at the home of the late minister, he promised to keep up the legacy of his father.
