On March 18, 2005, when the tenure of a governor who retrieves his mandate through the judicial process was not settled, and Peter Obi was to be robbed of his full tenure, I went all out to defend him and insisted he must spend his four years in office based on the Constitution, even though legendary lawyers like my late boss, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN, SAM, disagreed. We persisted until the Supreme Court vindicated several Bar members.
Despite never meeting him, we defended him on principle. We have been defending our patriotic ideals for decades, so we laugh at overnight keyboard “activists” who make all kinds of insinuations. We ignore them, and we indulge their pitiful stupidity.
Please believe us when we say the law is unaffected by social media sentiments. Did you see the cases that various courts threw out today, as we predicted? Trend a hashtag till the Supreme Court decides the Petitions or bring prayer “warriors” to the court until thy kingdom come, the law will take its course. Save money and energy. Let attorneys work.
