The vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the just concluded February 25 elections, Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed, has said that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, can not be sworn in as president of the country.
He stated this during an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday.
According to Datti, swearing in Tinubu would be “as good as swearing in military regime”.
He added that there was a constitutional breach during the presidential poll that produced Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as President-elect.
Datti further noted that the certificate of return issued to the former Lagos Governor by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has no value.
He said,
“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.”
