The vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Datti Baba-Ahmed has advised President Muhammadu Buhari not to hold the swearing-in of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, on May 29.

Tinubu, the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was declared the winner of the presidential election on March 1 by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Baba-Ahmed the Labour Party vice-presidential candidate speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today yesterday argued that the APC failed to meet the requirements of Section 134 (2)(a) and (b) of the Nigerian constitution for election into the office 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.”
