Tinubu's lead lawyer CHIEF Wole Olanipekun in his 40 pages written address was citing cases decided under 1979 Constitution like Shagari Vs. Awolowo while ignoring recent cases consequent to 1999 Constitution like Oyetola vs.Adeleke, 1979 Constitution was defective hence 1999. https://twitter.com/AustinNwabufo/status/1680434282739662848?t=WaX_LL4N5AXmFntMIfABWw&s=19 Reading through the written address of Tinubu and Shettima lawyers at the ongoing election petition tribunal led by supposed respected senior lawyer Wole Olanipekun, one can’t help but giggle at the hollowness and shallowness of their defense. In the address, Mr Olanipekun was busy citing the case of Shagari vs Awolowo that happened as far back as 1979 under the 1979 Constitution and in election conducted by FEDECO, as our electoral commission was called then. Since 1979, we’ve have had many reformations to our electoral laws and have even changed our constitution. If anything, the most relevant case as far as election cases are concerned in Nigeria today, is the Supreme Court ruling in Osun in case of Oyetola vs Adeleke. This case is the most relevant because it is the only Supreme Court decision since the Electoral Act 2022 came into force. Ironically, Mr Olanipekun surreptitiously ignored the Osun case which has a lot of similarities with the case at PEPT as they both bother on the place of technology in our election and to what degree INEC can choose to apply or ignore technology in our elections. It is pertinent to state these things for the world to hear, read and see, so that we all keep an eye on the judiciary and see what comes out it. Remember that it is not enough to do justice, justice must also be seen to have been done. 127 Likes 16 Shares

Wole Olanikpekun has stolen TINUBUs mandate and given it back to PO, by virtue of his uselessness as a poorly trained SAN. Olanikpekun is an Oluwole graduate... Why quote an electoral act of 1979, which has already been modified in 1999? This man is totally shameless and immensely foolish. Mizcreants think Propaganda will work for them...  436 Likes 50 Shares |

This case is NOT about what is the law. It is about who are the judges. ALL these judges were appointed by APC and can be retired by Tinubu who also has the power to appoint them - and have whoever he appoints swiftly confirmed by the APC senate. Bottom line, this is a kangaroo trial 78 Likes 7 Shares |

Osun State case is at the state level and not Federal. Also, 1979 constitution amendment birth 1999 constitution and there have several amendments and reforms since then. So, I can tell you that Mr. Olanipekun is right for stating the 1979 constitution. It's allowed. 156 Likes 22 Shares |

sultanofpigs: Same Oluwole graduate, Wole Olanipekun won Buhari's case in 2019 for him. Your so-called Livy Uzoukwu - who's Obi's lead counsel today - represented Atiku then and Olanipekun took him to the cleaners with his legal prowess. I know you're too young to know this but Google is there for you to confirm. 175 Likes 18 Shares |

It’s actually a smart move. Wole is not a charge and bail lawyer! He actually allows you to make his win very easy! Let's think it. When he does use outdated case laws, he’ll be reminded, maybe by the other counsel that the 1979 constitution was already amended and he should introduce recent cases similar...just like you are asking. To the other counsel, he made a point. Which other recent case would all fingers point to? It is the Adeleke vs Oyetola to be used as precedent! Now here is where the politics take place… and what you don't know. Actually, the Adeleke vs Oyetola was created for this case. So Wole let you decide for them to use it. And since you gave them the option, they introduce it as tho standing on the recent protocol you suggested. Guess what? Since you want to feel more recent with cases, the case will be closed and they will win. If you suggested a recent case, and that case is introduced, you WILL lose the case! You just gave them their evidence! Why did you think the APC let Adeleke win the case based on INEC glitches? Oh you felt it was a just judgement? And that the APC will just let go sth as big as the governorship? A sitting party? Lol. It’s so that it will serves as a premise to dismiss the future plan…. this case. It's was an organised case law. Let's check: The APC-led administration has been subject to criticism due to the economic challenges experienced during their tenures. True. However, it is noteworthy that they have demonstrated adeptness in engaging in strategic political maneuvers, leveraging their party networks, and creating an illusion of popular participation in decision-making processes. Meanwhile, it is all a mirage in achieving the goal! Even the Naira design was a plan to make other parties feel there was disunity within the party and they loss guard and failed to plan. Obi too was banking on popular participation and pity politics. He should have added some backup dark politics too. Oh don't criticize me, politics was always darker. Check the APC's darker politics. Call it politics 101. During the past electoral process, a strategy is employed wherein a divisive narrative is constructed, leading to the formation of factions and subsequent tribal conflict....the Igbo-Yoruba tribal war, the Wike-pdp war, and the Kwankwaso assisting to reduce the northern votes. During the period of tribal conflict between the Yorubas and Igbos, the candidate affiliated with the LP experienced an unexpected defeat in a situation where they were initially considered to have a significant likelihood of emerging victorious. Check! Consider the reasons behind the cessation of the overheated tribal conflict subsequent to the victory! The Yorubas were convinced by the APC...the sitting government... that an individual (Lagos indigene) was of mixed heritage and was not considered a genuine Yoruba and instead was associated with the Igbo agenda. I mean, like how did you guys believe that unintelligible tact! So poor! A significant number of individuals were deceived or say convinced that truly it was Igbos trying to take Lagos...so they fought back, resulting in the government reverting back to its previous state. Lol. The game was the focal point for the APC and they got it. During elections, we are not Nigerians, we name our states first! Let's continue... The LP also was winning the presidential election. They employed the use of commotion in the LP strongholds, and when they saw it wasn't really working cos they were winning Lagos, Aduja, Jos etc, their plan-B was the last hope... EyeNeck ! It was also necessary to adjust the LP's score to the third position to have a better legal case in case. They banked on the corrupt system. Why? "NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.". That's Nigeria for you! Nothing always not happen to the rich in Nigeria! Also, don't you forget that the British never stopped colonising Nigeria. They only relocated to their country. It's cost-effective and easier to control pawns from a distance! Like no one will know it's neo-colonialism! And guess what? The British always supports their pawns! You see? Democracy isn't never of the people and by the people or for the people. It is actually what the govt wants and the people sees from far. In reality, the majority decisions do not always count! 144 Likes 15 Shares |

If you had an iota of brain cells, you should understand that Buhari instilled fear in the judicial system and did alot of damage to the judiciary. Even Atiku Jakpa. But you see this case, e choke, and the useless Olanikpekun has been demystified by the same Livy and co. So stop stroking yourself...the case is in Court already and even your 35billion bribe won't save the crook and mandate criminal. donphilopus: 39 Likes 3 Shares |

Penguin2 and the other headless Peter Obi mob want to teach Tinubu’s lawyer how to defend his client and I’m not even making this up 🤣🤣🤣. Like, how can people be this senseless? You’re supporting the petitioner but you’re trying to teach the respondent which case to quote and which one not to quote. What exactly is your business with how the respondent go about defending their case? When you see the headless mob crying ceaselessly over a matter, just know they got hit big time. This is the third day of crying over Wole Olanipekun’s final address to the court. They are not even interested in talking about the final address of Peter Obi’s legal team because it’s as watery as the case they presented. Those supporting Tinubu are happy with the excellent job Wole Olanipekun is doing. His final address to the court shredded every single issue raised in Peter Obi’s watery petition. The robustness of the defense is why the legal team confidently released the final address to the media even before adopting it in court. If them born Peter Obi legal team well, let them release their final address to the media like Wole Olanipekun has done. 170 Likes 12 Shares |

Twitter and cruise...... There is something we call context. Osun had no issue with two-thirds or 25%. In the history of our democracy, we have only had this situation in the Awo v Shagari time. At the time, we had 19 States with Shagari winning 12. Awo argued that two-thirds of 19 is not 12, but should be 13. The SC affirmed Shagari in a 6-1 verdict. The only dissent was Justice Kayode Eso (of Blessed memory) 46 Likes 4 Shares |
