‘Resign so Akpabio can conduct fresh presidential election’- Tinubu, Shettima told

The presidential running mate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed has called for the resignation of President Bola Tinubu and his Vice, Kashim Shettima.

Speaking to Arise Television, Baba-Ahmed said Senate President Godswill Akpabio should be allowed to conduct fresh polls after the resignation of Tinubu and Shettima.

He made the comment in response to a question about the possibility of working with the President Tinubu-led administration.

According to him, the new administration was fraudulently sworn in after the 2023 presidential election. Therefore, the LP would not collaborate with what he deemed an illegitimate government.

“Can Tinubu and Shettima just resign and let the Senate President conduct another election? They were fraudulently sworn in, and we will not work with an illegitimate government. If it is not constitutional, we are not touching it,” he said.

His remarks follow a press conference by the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in which he accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Supreme Court of incompetence in handling election matters.
