Ambode said that Braithwaite’s legal engagements in the defence of human rights, democratic norms and practice, would never be forgotten.
“His bust will soon be commissioned at the Dolphine Estate Park, so that the memory of his great contributions to politics and the struggle for a better Nigeria will linger for ever in our memory, “Ambode said.
