The Federal Government has said that president-elect, Bola Tinubu, will be sworn in on May 29 despite the court cases challenging his victory,
The information and culture minister, Lai Mohammed said this on Wednesday.
Mohammed, however, noted that opposition political parties have the right to challenge the outcome of the presidential election in court.
Tinubu has floored his opponents at the 2023 elections polling 8,794,726 votes to defeat the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar who polled 6,984,520 votes.
The Labour Party candidate and former Anambra governor, Mr Peter Obi polled 6,101,533 votes to come third.
Speaking during a visit to the United Kingdom, the minister said Tinubu would be sworn in on May 29, 2023, in line with the constitution.
Mohammed claimed supporters of the defeated Labour presidential candidate Peter Obi were undermining democracy through their calls for the election to be rerun, AIT reports.
He also described as a treasonable felony the statement made by the vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Yusuf Baba-Ahmed that swearing in Tinubu as Nigeria’s President would be the end of democracy in the country.
