The Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 Presidential Election, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has declared that he and his team would not work with Tinubu describing his government as illegitimate.
Baba- Ahmed made the statement
while responding to a question during an interview on Arise TV about the possibility of working with Tinubu’s administration.
Ahmed stated that President Bola Ahmed-Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima were “fraudulently” signed in, thereby, asking them to resign.
He also urged the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio to be allowed to conduct another presidential election once Tinubu and Shettima resign.
He said, “The petition court and the Supreme Court did not actually affirm the success of Tinubu’s presidency, they upheld the unconstitutionality of that election, and they are happy for it to remain so. And they have the power, nobody can do anything about it.
“That is why we said it is an unreasonable show of force. If there was something we could do, we would stop it, but we are law-abiding citizens, and that is why I’m here sitting with you today and still complaining.
“I was not shaken one bit. I will never be shaken by certificate forgery, by (someone who) forfeited money over narcotics. I will never be shaken by IReV switched off in the middle of the game when they saw us winning.
“Labour Party won the 2023 Presidential elections. No doubt about it. They are cheats, they are bullies and they have taken full advantage of the situation in Nigeria.
“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.”
