The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Ideological Group (BAT-IG) warmly congratulates the distinguished legal luminary, Chief Wole Olanipekun, CFR, SAN, Principal Partner of Wole Olanipekun & Co., on his landmark recognition in the Chambers & Partners Global 2026 Rankings as a Senior Statesman in Dispute Resolution.

This prestigious honour is a testament to decades of sustained excellence, principled advocacy and unmatched contributions to the advancement of constitutional law and jurisprudence in Nigeria.

Chief Olanipekun’s towering presence at the Bar has not only shaped legal thought but has also strengthened democratic institutions and deepened the rule of law in our country.

As one of Nigeria’s most sought-after advocates in electoral and constitutional matters, Chief Olanipekun has consistently stood at the forefront of landmark legal battles that have defined political transitions and clarified constitutional interpretations. His mastery of advocacy, his profound understanding of constitutional law and his steadfast commitment to justice have earned him a place among the most respected legal minds in Africa and beyond.

BAT-IG acknowledges Chief Olanipekun as a long-standing ally and a patriotic Nigerian whose ideological convictions resonate deeply with the progressive ideals championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. While the noble traditions and ethical demands of his profession may not permit open political alignment, his spirit, intellect and unwavering belief in progressive governance unmistakably reflect a commitment to national development and democratic consolidation.

This latest global recognition further affirms what many within the legal community and beyond have long known that Chief Wole Olanipekun is not merely a legal practitioner but a statesman of the law, a constitutional architect and a custodian of democratic order.

On this remarkable achievement, BAT-IG extends its heartfelt wishes for long life, sound health and continued victories in the temple of justice. May his wisdom continue to guide the Bar, inspire younger generations of lawyers and strengthen Nigeria’s constitutional democracy.
