Ghanaians have begun an online petition to the General Legal Council (GLC) against its decision not to call Ghanaian YouTuber, Elorm Ababio, popularly known as Ama Governor, to the bar this Friday despite her successful completion of her law program.
Elorm Ababio received a letter from the Secretary to the General Legal Council informing her of the decision not to call her to the bar.
The decision by the GLC was taken after a complaint was received from a “concerned citizen” alleging that she ‘lacks good character.’
Barely a few days after, an online petition circulating on Twitter has already generated 8,982 signatures out of the 9,000 targeted.

JoyNews Sources say the General Legal Council has constituted a three-member committee to investigate the complaint against her.
Her call to the bar has meanwhile been put on hold pending the outcome of the investigation.
