Ghanaian YouTuber, Ama Governor, and aspiring lawyer, has taken to Twitter to express her strong objection to remarks made by the Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Gertrude Torkornoo.

In a series of tweets, Ama Governor voiced her frustration over the suspension of her "Call to the Bar" ceremony and the subsequent implications on her reputation.

The Chief Justice's comments, made during a recent public appearance, touched on the issue of proper conduct in the legal sector and the admission to the Bar.

She stated that individuals seeking to join the legal profession must exhibit behaviour that is not obscene or offensive. Her Ladyship expressed surprise at the controversy surrounding the admission of certain individuals, emphasizing the importance of upholding standards within the legal community.

Ama Governor, who felt directly targeted by the Chief Justice's remarks, went on a Twitter rant to set the record straight. She vehemently denied engaging in any improper conduct and questioned the fairness of the process that led to the suspension of her "Call to the Bar."

According to her tweets, she successfully defended herself against a petition that challenged her eligibility for admission to the Bar. The petition was based on three grounds, two of which she claimed were fabrications.

The first alleged ground involved a video in which Ama Governor and her classmates were seen discussing life as law students, including humorous anecdotes about occasionally dozing off in class. The petitioner misconstrued this discussion as tarnishing the school's reputation, which Ama Governor vehemently refuted.

The second ground falsely accused her of consistently wearing nose rings to school, despite adhering to the school's guidelines on student appearance. Ama Governor clarified that she had followed the rules and even made videos demonstrating her compliance.

The third ground, which she acknowledged as true, referred to her sexual orientation as queer. However, she asserted that her sexual orientation should not be a basis for deeming her unfit to become a lawyer.

Ama Governor expressed deep disappointment with the process, citing that the petition was thrown out in the very first hearing, yet her name continues to be dragged through the mud. She further raised concerns about the potential violation of Article 19(11) of the Ghanaian Constitution, which states that no person shall be convicted of a criminal offense unless defined and prescribed by written law.

The young YouTuber's tweets have ignited discussions on social media, with many expressing support for her stance and questioning the fairness of the entire process.

As the controversy unfolds, attention is drawn to the intersection of social media influence, individual rights, and the legal profession's stringent standards.

Ama Governor's online presence has been a platform for her to advocate for body positivity, feminism, and women's sexual reproductive health. She now awaits a response from the relevant authorities on the matter and hopes for a resolution that upholds her right to practice law without undue prejudice.
