In January 2016, Olu-Adegboruwa said President Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against corruption seems more like a distraction than achievement.

He also file a case against Buhari on June 22, 2015, at the Federal High Court in Lagos, asking the court to compel him (Buhari) to appoint ministers or cease to be President.

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.
