Nigeria Has No President-elect, Swearing In Tinubu Is Like Bringing Back The Military Regime

The Labour Party Vice Presidential Candidate in the February 25 elections, Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed, has declared that Nigeria has no president-elect.

According to him, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu can’t be seen as the President-elect because the certificate of return he holds is a dud certificate with no value.

The Labour Party vice presidential candidate added that swearing in Tinubu will be contrary to the provisions of section 134 of the Nigerian constitution.

Baba-Ahmed who made his view known on Wednesday during an interview with Arise TV said swearing in Tinubu as Nigeria’s president is as good as swearing in a military regime.

According to Datti Ahmed, “We cannot have a president-elect when there has been a constitutional breach. There’s a clear interpretation of section 134 and INEC’s interpretation of section 134.

“Asiwaju Tinubu is no president-elect, what he holds is a dud certificate that has no value.

“Swearing in Tinubu is an assault on the constitution, swearing in Tinubu is as good as swearing in a military regime.”
