Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel of Nnamdi Kanu has raised a concern over the upcoming inauguration of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu on May 29.
According to the lawyer, it is unconstitutional to swear in a President-elect whose victory has not been affirmed by the court.
He insisted that the winner of an election can only be sworn in when the election results were uncontested.
Speaking via a chat with Daily Post, Ejimakor argued that there is no law in Nigeria which permits the swearing-in of a winner when the election result is being contested in court.
He wrote: “Given that the FINALITY of election result is decided by the Court, except where the INEC-declared result is uncontested, it’s unconstitutional to swear-in a winner whose victory has not been affirmed by the Court.
Where’s the law that says such a winner must be sworn-in? None!”
