“Issues of the February 2023 Presidential election, the barefaced violation of rules and the laws, the brazen manipulations and falsifications in the perversion of our electoral process have put our democracy in a precarious situation.

Ologunaba posited that Nigerians and lovers of democracy across the world expect that the Supreme Court will “use this case to firmly validate the maxim that the Judiciary is the last hope of the common man.”
“Nigerians are therefore optimistic in hoping that the Supreme Court will dispense substantial Justice according to law and fact in the Appeal,” he said.
