Former Minister of Aviation and Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode has lambasted Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja Catholic Archdiocese and John Onaiyekan for opposing the swearing-in of President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on May 29.

Onaiyekan in a recent interview with Channels TV opined that Bola Tinubu should not be sworn-in as president while there is a court case challenging the legitimacy of the February 25 polls.

Reacting to the claim in a Facebook post, Fani-Kayode condemned Onaiyekan's comment with some strong words.

He wrote: "To Cardinal John Onaiyekan and those that share his views that the swearing in of our President-elect should be postponed until after the Election Tribunal has delivered its judgment I say the following.

"The Nigerian people have spoken and the Deep State conspiracy to stop Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu from becoming President failed long ago.

"We are well past that stage and you cannot stop a moving train.

"Those that have hardened their hearts and that have refused to accept God's will and admonition to let Asiwaju and the Nigerian people go shall, like Pharaoh, perish before our very eyes.

"Those that are filled with bitterness, hate, envy, fury and rage and that seek to pursue us into the Red Sea as we make our way to the Promise Land shall be drowned by it.

"Whether they like it or not, God-willing, the President-elect SHALL be sworn in on May 29th and those that want him dead or wish him ill shall see the grave long before he does.

"This is the doing of the Lord and it is marvellous in our sight." (FFK)

Meanwhile, the election petition hearing will commence on Monday, May 8 2023.
