Olu-Adegboruwa also sued the former acting chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Amina Bala Zakari, claiming that her continued stay in office was a “constitutional aberration.”

He also accused President Buhari of humiliating Judges, due to his comments on Nnamdi kanu during the presidential media chat.
