Bayelsa judgement review: I will speak at the right time – Olanipekun
Olanipekun, who was the head of the legal team for Lyon, who sought review of the judgement earlier delivered against the APC , said he did no wrong by his action.
The supreme Court had disqualified the APC candidate on the basis that his deputy, Chief Degi Biobarakuma-Eremionye forged his academic certificates and the court subsequently declared the candidate of the PDP, Chief Duoye Diri, winner of the poll and was sworn- in as the Governor. “I saw legal profession as a ministry. I am convinced and knew that what we did was within the best tradition in law, I can tell anyone about this.
“I could see the leadership of the church are not speaking up loud enough. Though, I believe we need prayers to overolcone insurgency and terrorism. I know the Christains must be cautious about their actions, but they should not act cowardly.
