Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the presidential running mate of the
Labour Party (LP), has called for the resignation of President Bola Tinubu and
his Vice, Kashim Shettima.
Baba-Ahmed said Senate President Godswill Akpabio should be
allowed to conduct another presidential election after the resignation of
Tinubu and Shettima.
He made the call during an interview on Arise Television
while responding to a question about the possibility of working with Tinubu’s
administration.
Baba-Ahmed firmly maintained that Tinubu and Shettima were
fraudulently sworn in after the 2023 presidential election. Therefore, the LP
would not collaborate with what he deemed an illegitimate government.
In his words, “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.”
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.
