Datti: Swearing In Tinubu Is Like Handing Over To Military Coup Plotter (Video) by MrNotAgain: 11:27am On Mar 22, 2023

Datti Baba-Ahmed, Labour Party’s vice-presidential candidate in the February 25 election, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to hand over to President-elect Bola Tinubu on May 29. He also urged Olukayode Ariwoola, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, not to swear in Mr Tinubu.

Mr Baba-Ahmed begged Mr Buhari to ensure there is no handover ceremony on May 29, arguing that handing over power to Mr Tinubu would amount to handing over power to a military regime.

According to him, the incumbent president will act unconstitutionally if he hands over power to Mr Tinubu, whom INEC declared Nigeria’s president-elect.

“Mr President, do not organise that handover. CJN, your lordship, do not swear in this man so long as that problem is not (sic),” he said. Swearing in Alhaji Tinubu is as good as swearing in a military regime. They are both unconstitutional,” Mr Datti-Ahmed said Tuesday on ARISE TV.

Nigerian laws set out the process of resolving electoral disputes through the election petition tribunal and, ultimately, the Supreme Court in cases of unsatisfactory tribunal rulings.

It is unclear why Mr Baba-Ahmed is advocating for an unconstitutional extension of Mr Buhari’s grip on power when the legally set out procedures have not been exhausted.

Earlier in February, the Labour vice-presidential candidate in the February poll supported Mr Buhari’s flagrant violation of the Supreme Court order regarding the old naira notes. He railed against state governors who sued Mr Buhari’s regime over the new naira notes policy.

“They did not challenge Buhari when the Naira fell from N200 to N750 or more now to the dollar. They have not challenged him. It is only the few weeks before elections that they are challenging the president to the extent of giving counter orders of treason. It is close to treason. Lawyers will tell you that better,” Mr Datti-Ahmed said in a press conference, referring to Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s directives which retained the old naira notes as legal tender for commercial activities in the state in line with a Supreme Court ruling as opposed to Mr Buhari’s disobedience.

“Like it or hate it, Buhari’s government was duly elected and sworn in. Nigeria is a sovereign state and currency matters are a sovereign issue. No state governor… has the right to challenge the (federal) government. This is a treasonable offence,” Mr Datti-Ahmed added.

He later argued after the conference on TV that the currency issue lies solely with the president, accusing the opposing state governors of undermining Nigeria’s sovereignty.

“Why I called it treason is that a commander-in-chief gives his order and a state governor gives a direct counter order to that… call it anything, the bottom line is a commander-in-chief gives an order a state governor says don’t do it, do mine, that is treason,” Mr Datti-Ahmed claimed. “You’re undermining the sovereignty. …there is no way you can undermine a commander-in-chief by saying go and do the opposite of what he has the power to say. This is highly disrespectful.”

The Labour party legal team are not only organized, they are professionally prepared.
They came with hypersonic missiles hitting the president-select where they didn't expect

Datti on point. It will absolutely unconstitutional to swear him in .
The constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria is clear on the parameters of 25% on the FCT.

This reminds me of childhood.

When a child is left to cry without patting his head or saying any comforting word to him, at some point, he would definitely get tired crying 😂.

YES. Datti keep up with the fight! Power is not given but taken by force!

To anybody supporting this Tinubu stealing the people mandate, I wish the person to win a bid of big project worth millions of dollars and then one rich man son will go behind to change things and collect the contract from you. AMEN

After all we well-meaning Nigerians suffered and even used our money to try to test a good hand in power this mad or something INEC want to go against what we voted! They must not be allowed if not the trend will continue trust Tinubu na; like how he collected the whole lagos since forever up until now! Lets fight the fight now and end emperorship if not even for our sake but for the sake of our younger generations.

Dont listen to people who easily give up and say lets move on. Let the fight be there until the end

to stop d swearing in of tinubu.After all d noise
about winning 19 states and the fct and even
claiming to have over 1million votes in Lagos,
all Peter obi can present in court is alleged drug conviction and fct 25%.

Truth.


That's the truth. We shouted our voice hoarse here saying INEC has no business announcing someone without the requisite lawful votes, including 25% in FCT as winner of the election. But it seems Mahmood just wanted to do the bidding of his paymasters. He, in the dead of the night, surreptitiously announced Tinubu winner, even when the first result is yet to trickle into the vaunted IReV servers, contrary to his countless assurance.

Then the clown of a chairman, had the audacity to shout 'Go to court' as if they have already bought the judges with their change.
