A refusal to swear-in Tinubu as President on May 29, will create a vacuum in the system, saying the law does not allow this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven Peter Obi once benefitted from the system of being sworn into office despite pending petitions filed against him before the tribunal by Andy Uba. The law has to be complied with, which is to swear in Tinubu as president, and if anybody wants to change the narrative, they will have to change the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo whether the president-elect is sworn in or not, there is right to remove him legally if it is found out that he was not duly elected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to his claim in a statement titled \u201cApapa\u2019s statement on \u2018swearing in\u2019 reflecting \u2018Hand of Esau, Voice of Jacob\u2019\u201d, Ifoh denied that his principal ever raised such issue whether in a private or public conversation.<\/p>\n<p>While alluding that the real enemies of the party are beginning to unfold, the LP acting spokesman noted that no amount of hatchet can distract Obi from reclaiming his mandate.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cIn all Peter Obi\u2019s public and private statements, he has never said or by implication, insinuated that May 29 should be shifted. He is a democrat and he is one person that believes so much in the judiciary as the last arbiter, and that is why he has resorted to the court to seek justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had refused to join issues with the expelled former acting National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party, Abayomi Arabambi and the suspended Deputy National Chairman, Lamidi Apapa on their mischievous narratives of the \u2018May 29 handover\u2019 to INEC\u2019s declared winner of the presidential election. The Labour Party actually does not want to comment on the matter which hearing has since commenced at the presidential appeal tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, the text of the statement which was read as commercial in about three television stations in prime time hours suggests that the real sponsors of the crisis in the Labour Party would stop at nothing in ensuring that they sustain the imbroglio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFew weeks ago, you will recall how we alerted Nigerians to plots by this faction to withdraw the cases filed by some of our candidates in the tribunals, allegations they are yet to exonerate themselves. Part of their plots to scuttle the ongoing presidential tribunal as shamelessly boasted by Arabambi is to desecrate the sanctity of the tribunal venue on the next adjourned date with Lamidi Alaba forcing himself to appear as a representative of the Labour Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians already know that you are sponsored to work against the presidential ambition of Peter Obi. No one is in doubt about Apapa camp\u2019s altruistic ambition to remain a destructive agent in the Labour Party.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leadership of the Labour Party has distanced its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, from allegation that he called for the postponement of May 29 inauguration ceremony for the swearing-in of the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
