Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former president of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Olisa Agbakoba, has said the swearing-in of Bola Tinubu as the next president of the country is bound to happen on May 29.<\/p>\n

Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was declared as the winner of the February 25 presidential poll with 8,794,726 votes.<\/p>\n

However, his victory has attracted criticism, with many calling for the inauguration which is scheduled for May 29 to be put on hold, until presidential election petitions are determined.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Monday, Agbakoba urged Nigerians to obey the rule of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to state that the inauguration of Mr Bola Tinubu on 29 May 2023 is bound to happen under our constitutional process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the election tribunal deals with the petitions, there is no constitutional process to delay the inauguration on 29 May.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to obey the rule of constitutionalism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
