JUST IN: Buhari, CJN Told Not To Hold Tinubu’s Inauguration

The Labour Party’s (LP) vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has questioned the constitutionality of President-elect Bola Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, the winner of the presidential election on March 1.

However, Baba-Ahmed, who appeared live on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, claimed that the APC had failed to meet the requirements of Section 134 (2)(a) and (b) of the constitution for election to the office of President.

According to the provisions of that section, the rightful winner is one who “has the highest number of votes cast at the election” and “has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja”.

Addressing President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the LP vice-presidential candidate argued that Tinubu’s inauguration would be unconstitutional if it went ahead.

“Mr President, do not hold that inauguration. CJN, Your Lordship, do not partake in unconstitutionality,” he said.

According to him, swearing in a ticket that does not meet the requirements of the constitution is the end of democracy.

“That is my interpretation and that is indeed a correct interpretation,” Baba-Ahmed added. You cannot swear [in] people who have not met the constitutional requirements; you can’t do that.

“If you do it, you have done something unlawful, something unconstitutional. I’m not taking risks with my safety and with my life. It was more extreme for [INEC Chairman, Mahmood] Yakubu to issue that certificate; it was reckless. He’s putting all our lives in danger.”
