Chances Of Tinubu’s Inauguration Being Stopped Now 50-50 – Sam Amadi

There is a 50% probability that the inauguration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as president on May 29, 2023 could be stopped before that date, Dr Sam Amadi, Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts has said.

His assertion came as he clarified his earlier deposition that the position of “President-elect is not an official position.”

GWG.ng reports that Dr Amadi, one of the country’s leading civil rights activists and Arise News analyst had alluded as a gaffe the decision by Governor Nyesom Wike to declare a public holiday for Tinubu’s visit to Rivers State.

The stance had received mixed reactions as some agreed with him and others disagreed with him.

Going further to assert that it was not fait accompli for Tinubu, Dr Amadi took to his twitter handle on Thursday to assert that even the inauguration of the victorious All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate could be stopped before May 29.

Clarifying his stance he said: “Clarification on Legal Status of President-Elect.

“@officialABAT is PRESIDENT-ELECT. But he is not yet President.

2. It isn’t automatic that he will form the next government. He has a serious case in tribunal that can go either way.

3. The tribunal can stop the inauguration before 29.

“Like I always say, corruption in language leads to corruption in statecraft. Just as the law gave @inecnigeria power to make a declaration, it gives the judiciary the power to reverse it. There’s no constitutional duty to inaugurate on May 29 if a declaration is legally challenged as here.

“There is no fait accompli about the situation. Some use of language can create a false narrative where we believe that a declaration by @inecnigeria no matter how wrong constitutes a new government. No. It does not, until the final court says so.”
