Will Tinubu’s inauguration be suspended or postponed? Popular APC Chieftain speaks

A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress has disagreed over the remark of the Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Dioceses of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan that it made no sense to inaugurate politicians whose elections were being challenged at the tribunal.

In a chat with Legit.ng on Monday, May 8, Mr. Williams Dakwom, a member of the APC presidential campaign council (PCC) in Plateau state, described the comment made by Onaiyekan as inappropriate.

The APC chieftain noted that said such comments should be channeled to the appropriate authority, adding that only the court has the power to stop Tinubu's inauguration if nothing else does on Monday, May 29, 2023.

He said, "Such comment should be channeled to the appropriate authority if he's not satisfied with the conduct of the election. I believe he knows where to take his grievances but not to do anything stupid that will truncate the peace we are enjoying. Because is only the court that will stop the swearing-in of my president-elect if not nothing is going to stop us from taking the mountain of leadership come 29th May 2023."

Speaking further on the tasks ahead for the party, Dakwom opined that the APC is more focused on fixing the country and making Nigeria great again for Nigerians.

"We have nothing to worry about as a party we believe in the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria and also believe in the people's mandate which you can see from the outcome of the presidential election.

"As a party, we believe in the unity of the country, and we will continue to hold on to that as progressive leaders for the progress of our nation, and we are much more focused on the rule of law, how to refine our economy, and the issue of security to give our citizens hope to go on their normal business, especially the farmers."

A fresh motion on notice seeking to stop the president-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu from being inaugurated as Nigeria’s new President on Monday, May 29, 2023, has been instituted at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

Ambrose Owuru predicated his grouse against the inauguration of Tinubu on the ground that he is the constitutionally adjudged winner of the 2019 election and has not spent his tenure as required by law.

Reacting to this development, a top Nigerian lawyer, Barrister Oluwole Olukunle Moses disclosed that Tinubu's inauguration is imminent and cannot be suspended constitutionally.
