Wole Olanipekun at 72! -By Abiodun Komolafe
Olanipekun is no longer an ordinary man. He has paid his dues and God has placed him on a pedestal that is rare. Nigerians can only wish him well and have him around us for many years to come.
Glory be to God, Chief Oluwole Oladapo Olanipekun is two years above seventy!
It is not due to his power or ability to plead cases in the court of law. It is purely the grace of the Strength of Israel.
For decades, Olanipekun has been an amiable Watcher at the Bench. This personable individual, humanist extraordinaire and an indefatigable and undefeatable iconic silk has now carved a niche for himself in high-profile clientele by handling public political disputes.
Unknown to him, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) is a mentor to many people. Many Nigerians are looking up to him and are watching. So, history is recording whatever he says and how he weighs matters; and that will be his legacy, not what friends and other men-pleasers say.
Olanipekun is no longer an ordinary man. He has paid his dues and God has placed him on a pedestal that is rare. Nigerians can only wish him well and have him around us for many years to come.
