The Minister also described as ridiculous a report that some foreign lawyers have been flown into Nigeria to lead the legal team of the Labour Party and Peter Obi at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) which will commence sitting on Monday, May 8, 2023.
This comes following a claim by a Labour Party governorship aspirant in Imo State, Sam Amadi, who said the May 29 inauguration of the president-elect is not sacrosanct.
Taking to his Twitter page on Thursday, May 4, 2023, Amadi argued that the date of inauguration of a new government is “conventional not constitutional,” proposing that Tinubu should not be sworn in until the court cases challenging his victory are decided.
