May 29: Swear Tinubu In!  Lamidi Apapa- LP Led faction Shocks Obi, Others in Recent Statements.

The Lamidi Apapa- led faction of the Labour Party has distanced itself from the demands for an interim administration and the protests that Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, should not take office on May 29 until the Presidential Election Tribunal, which is based in Abuja, has ruled on the petitions.

The faction of the party, noted that the swearing- in of Tinubu ” may not have any impact on the ongoing legal tussle on the presidential election involving our party, APC and INEC. “

The Electoral Act and the Constitution of Nigeria do not allow for a void, according to LP, who claimed in a statement provided to Vanguard in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, by the faction’s spokesman, Abayomi Arabambi. ” So whether the President-elect is sworn in or not, there is right to remove him legally if it is found that he was not duly elected, ” Arabambi said.

Arabambi cited sections 136 and 146 of the Nigerian Constitution when he said that only demise or irreversible disability may prevent a president-elect from taking the oath of office.

Arabambi claimed that ” what Peter Obi is crying for is not supported by the law, ” but added 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. “

Arabambi state that “even Peter Obi once benefited from the system of being sworn into office despite pending petitions filed against him before the tribunal by Andy Uba, while emphasizing that the legislation does not provide for an interim president in this situation.

If anyone wants to change the story , they will need to change the law, he said, adding that the law must be followed when swearing in Tinubu as president.

“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, he said “Labour Party will not support any unlawful means of agitation or change of government violently.”
