Chief Wole Olanipekun , SAN, OFR, CFR a Nigerian Lawyer and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association and Senior Advocate of Nigeria will lead 49 other lawyers to defend the victory of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu at the presidential election tribunal.

Born in Ikere Ekiti, Ekiti State on November 18, 1951, Olanipekun attended Amonye Grammar School, Ikere Ekiti between 1965 and 1969 where he obtained the West African School Certificate. His academic brilliance informed his appointment as the senior prefect. He proceeded to Ilesa Grammar School in 1970 from where he obtained the Higher School Certificate in 1971.

At Ilesha Grammar School, the young Olanipekun manifested his innate leadership qualities, thus becoming the Editor-in-Chief of the school magazine (The Spike). He was also the Chairman of the Students Representative Committee in 1971. In 1972, he gained admission to the University of Lagos where he bagged a Bachelor of Law degree in 1975.

In 1980, he became the Principal Partner of Messrs Wole Olanipekun & Co. Perhaps one can only remind Olanipekun of what God says concerning him and his like in the book of Isaiah 3:10 which read, “Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.”

Personal Career:
He was Called to the bar in July 1976 after he graduated from the Nigerian Law School and subsequently attained the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria in July 1991, the same year in which he was appointed as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of Ondo State and served in that capacity for two years.

The man must be rolling on the floor in his chamber right now. Laughing so hard at the med!ocre petition filed by Labour party.

If you know wole Olanipekun so well, you will know the court will be done within hours barring any ceremonial adjournment just to make the sitting look atleast a little bit solid.

Chief Olanipekun, SAN, OFR, CFR that made A!T of partisan Raymond Dopkes! ' crawled on the floor and begged for their life' claiming it was the 'dev!L's work' when Tinubu through Wole Olanipekun slammed a 150Billion naira lawsuit against them for defamation in 2016 on this same 'druglord propaganda'.

When was the last time you saw A!T, a pro-PDP media house ran any anti-Tinubu campaign on their station during this electioneering period? They were quiet all through the campaign period, unlike before; Olanipekun put them in their place.

I wont be surprise if after this case is done and dusted, Tinubu will also drag Labour party to court for CHARACTER ASSASINATION & DEFAMATION . ( Dem go slam 300billion lawsuit against Labour party, and you obidients will just wail and cry about it for nothing. And i hope you dont cry: 'government suppression & oppression' then.)

Ar!seTV too should be prepared, let the dust settle first. E go reach everybody, dem go learn by force.

Unarguably, Wole Olanipekun is one of the brightest SANs in Nigeria and one of the richest as well - thanks to his ability to win cases for the political class.

Well, it will be interesting to see how he will defend the sham election that threw victory in the laps of Druggie as well as prove Druggie's eligibility after working as the chief finance officer for Chicago drug cartels. cheesy

It's a court case. All the opinions in the comment section will not matter.

To the APC, why panic?

To the L.P. Wait and see.

To Nigerians: Lets hope the truth will prevail.

And so ?
1) Does it mean that he has never lost a case before ?
2) How do u know that he is the best?
3) And if so how do u arrive at ur answer
4) how do you know already that he will win this one since he has lost a case before ?


The problem with the people in this forum (both LP, PDP and APC supporters) is that they all talk and analyze things with the perspective of a lay man on the street.

Having looked at the petition and prayer by the PO lawyers, i am not a constitutional lawyer but one thing is certain the allegations in that petition and prayer is a very strong one.

I have sat down and try to make sense why PO's lawyers will present such a petition and prayer and the only that comes to my mind is are u a lawyer ? my answer is NO, do u knw better than the team of lawyers ? the answer is NO, have u seen the evidence to knw why they arrive at that decisions ? My answer to my self is NO.

There and then i concluded that for one to go into battle like this magnitude, one they must have done their homework well, gather enough evidence, look at what the constitution say about their petitions and prayers and finally, look at past judgements on said matter and know how to go about such a case.

Hence, what am saying exactly is that, those number of lawyers can't just come with such a huge allegations, petitions and prayers without doing their homework well.

So let's not start analzing if the petitions and prayers will not stand in court because they must have debated on some prayers before deciding to come up with this prayers.

My candid opinion, pls reply my questions and answer the points i raised without any form of insult. i will appreciate that, since we are all learning and nobody knows it all.
Thank u.

Because there are no evidence of rigging or malpractice anywhere. So in a bid to keep the struggle going. They had to rope in an already dismissed charges. These charges have been taken to court already different times and all ended up been cleared and dismissed by the judge with the latest one coming from justice Inyang of Federal high court, i think, just 2months ago, PDP filed that suit. I remember so well.

These are not even normal electoral crime or malpractice that occurred, these are charges that has nothing to do with the main voting and declaration of result.


And to answer your question plainly, no lawyer in this world will ever reject a court case. They will never tell Obi he has got no chance. How lawyers go take chop?
