These judgements are to maintain the status quo, they are all political decisions, it's about not upsetting the apple cart. It will be hard for any winner in a governorship election to be sacked by the Supreme Court.

Any lawyer can win these cases if the judge do the right thing

Just say your sad his name didn't start with things like chi..

Never said it was easy but the hype is unnecessary.

Especially when we live in a country where the judiciary is filthy

A good lawyer knows the law.

A great lawyer knows the Judge.

Congratulations

He is a guru no doubt

Decade ni Millennium ko.

Your question is too broad to make such a claim. Best in electoral litigation? Maybe. But is electoral litigation the only aspect of law or the most popular or the most lucrative in Nigeria? No.

Even if he is mooted as the best in electoral litigation, you have to compare his victories to other prominent lawyers over a decade at least. There are many factors to consider.

Supreme Court did not sack any governor.

How is it Wole's making?

due to the clearly detoriated state of the judiciary such a prominent figure in the system is a product of the rot...

Agba lawyer 🙌

TruthsFM:
Olanipekun the senior Advocate of Nigeria in law and election matters. He lose cases too but he’s a guru in the electoral matters

In a corrupt country , corrupt people are hero

LegendHero:


So what is the usefulness of Lawyers then? Why can’t you go represent Abba Yusuf in court and let’s see if Supreme Court will just hand you the win like salad.

If it’s that easy, Abba Yusuf won’t go and sign Olanipekun after his loss at the appeal court.

Just what I wanted to ask him

You can see that almost every political party is rushing this one man and you're still trying to downplay his skills?

There is an entire street in central Abuja named after this man.

Do you have the proof of the rot or just the fact that Obi that came third in a fair election wasn't declared winner by the supreme court??

Cases are not decided by lawyer in Nigeria but by the executive. If Tinubu wanted Kano Governor out , 1 million Olanipekuns couldn't have changed that. They just decided to leave Kano for NNPP for the sake of peace .

The guy is too gooooooooooood!

Presidential was not wole's work everybody knows that, including you, that pretends not to know. I know you know.

He actually just wanted you to spell everything out for him but he wasn't humble enough to ask in a polite way.

They are simply dumbos, they have no meaningful contribution to every topic.

Whose work is that?

Election Tribunal lawyers

They may not know the law, but they know the JUDGE

LegendHero:
This is the gist.

—NNPC suffered a setback at the Appeal Court, prompting Abba to call a strategic timeout.

—Abba Yusuf axed their initial manager and hit the legal transfer market for fresh talent.

—In a surprising last-minute move, they pulled off the signing of the season, bringing in Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, the legal juggernaut.

—With the clock ticking in extra time, the great SAN showcased his legal prowess, delivering a spectacular win for ABBA Yusuf!

Stop typing ignorantly
Olanipekun represented NNPP at appeals too

Olanipekun represented Abba Yusuf at Appeal too

All the lawyers got victories. Is his own different?

Na senior man he be normally

yeah but the appeal court sack the Kano governor so the onus is on the lawyer to prove how the appellate court decision was wrong and he was able to convince the supreme court judges nnpp did won the election

Ikpeazu sacked all his lawyers and went to beg Olanipekun to represent him when Ogah was almost unseating him.

princeade86:
He worked against APC and still won

he is Tinubu's lawyer not APC meaning anybody or political party can hire him as long as they can pay him

He is not a politician
