Factional Chairman of the Labour Party, Lamidi Apapa has said that nothing can stop the President-elect, Bola Tinubu from been sworn in on May 29 except death or permanent incapacity.
He also said the swearing of Tinuubu “may not have any impact on the ongoing legal tussle on the presidential election involving our party, APC and INEC.”
“so whether the President-elect is sworn in or not, there is right to remove him legally if it is found out that he was not duly elected.”
“what Peter Obi is crying for is not supported by the law,” Arabambi noted that “a refusal to swear-in Tinubu as President on May 29, will create a vacuum in the system, saying the law does not allow this.
Citing sections 136 and 146 of the Nigeria Constitution, Arabambi said only can stop a president-elect from being sworn in.
“even Peter Obi once benefitted from the system of being sworn into office despite pending petitions filed against him before the tribunal by Andy Uba.”
“The law has to be complied with, which is to swear in Tinubu as president, and if anybody wants to change the narrative, they will have to change the law.”
He also said, “Labour Party warns all Obidiots clandestinely parading themselves as LP members and other Obidients who may be agitating that the President-elect should not be sworn in to have a rethink as Labour Party will not support any unlawful means of agitations or change of government violently.”
