The list of BATIFIED SANs is different from the list earlier put out by the APC. There hasn't been a new statement from APC indicating changes in its team, so G.O will take the list of BATIFIED SANs as speculative. Here's the APC's list:
This is how I rate the teams, including the BATIFIED SANs team - on the basis of the expertise of each SAN on election petition - in no order of preference/competence:
BATIFIED SANs:
1. Fagbemi
2. Pinheiro
3. Olujimi
4. Olanipekun
5. Akintola

Some trivias:
1. Election is a goldmine for a small circle of SANs who've distinguished themselves in election petitions. Is it a goldmine? Well, some SANs earn big depending on their expertise. Many do it as pro bono, with receipts pushed forward as future "I-Owe-You"

This is a given:
Election petition is a special field that requires meticulous forensic advocacy.
2. Fagbemi, Mozia and Ikpeazu will square up as they did in 2017 during the Ize-Iyamu v Obaseki legal tussle in Benin.

If Olanipekun truly is part of the APC team, as the BATIFIED SANS list soeculates, the quartet of
Ikpeazu, Fagbemi, Olanipekun and Mozia will a spectacle to behold.
4. Again, two old adversaries will be in the same team. In 2017, Pinheiro and Olanipekun clashed

4. Again, two old adversaries will be in the same team. In 2017, Pinheiro and Olanipekun clashed
in Benin over the examination of a witness. It was a bitter clash. Pinheiro accused Olanipekun of witness intimidation and harassment.
5. Again, as well, Okpoko who was in Obi's team in his governorship petition many years ago joins Ikpeazu. Both are in a familiar terrain.
6. Uzoukwu who led Atiku's legal team in 2019 knows what it takes to face up to INEC that stubbornly frustrates compliance with the competent orders of court/tribunal. As it was in 2019, INEC is refusing inspection of materials today.
