There have been torrents of tributes for a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Richard Osuolale Akinjide.
But one indelible aspect of his life was the legal tussle over 1979 presidential election over which he rattled the Supreme Court on what ought to be 12 2/3 of the then 19 states.

Posterity will never forget him for this.
