Datti Baba-Ahmed, the vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari not to schedule Bola Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, as the victor of the presidential election on March 1. (INEC).
On Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, however, Baba-Ahmed stated that the APC had not complied with Section 134 (2)(a) and (b) of the Nigerian constitution, which are necessary for the election of the president.
Addressing Buhari and the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, Baba-Ahmed said: “Mr President, do not hold that inauguration. CJN, Your Lordship, do not partake in unconstitutionality.
“You cannot swear [in] people who haven’t met the constitutional requirements; you can’t do that.
“If you do it, you have done something unlawful, something unconstitutional.”
