1 Min Read

The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 elections, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has said the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is no president-elect.

 

Baba-Ahmed made his view known on Wednesday during an interview with Arise TV, insisting that Tinubu can’t be seen as the President-elect because the certificate of return he holds is a dud certificate with no value.

 

According to him, swearing in Tinubu as Nigeria’s president is as good as swearing in a military regime.

 

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.”
