The Court of Appeal acting as the presidential election tribunal has the Inherent jurisdiction under "section 6(6) of the 1999" constitution to maintain the status quo ante by restraining the Federal Govt. from swearing in the president elect on the 29th of May 2023 until the determination of the election petition.

The reason being that section 134(1)(a) and section 135(2) of 1999 constitution as amended states that the president holds office until (a) the president elect takes the oath of office while section 135(2) says that the tenure of the president commences when he takes the oath of allegiance and oath of office.

There is nothing in this sections of the constitution that stipulates that the tenure of the present govt. must end on May 29th 2023 nor did it stipulates that the tenure of the incoming govt. must start on 29th May 2023.

Since the legitimacy of the return of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president elect in the just concluded presidential election is before the Court of Appeal, it would amount to dissipation or destruction of the Res (subject matter of Dispute) to allow for the inauguration or swearing- in of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president of the federal Republic of Nigeria while the matter is in court.

In other to balance the trial and give court free space to decide on the matter, it is absolutely necessary that the Presidential Election Tribunal puts on hold the swearing-in or inauguration of the alleged President elect pending the final decision of the highest court of the land.

It is after this that the adjudged winner of the election can legitimately take the oath of office and oath of allegiance. It is also then it can be said that the tenure of the present govt. can be said to have come to an end and a new tenure commencing.

It will sound novel that this position is being propagated but that is the true and undiluted position of the constitution of Nigeria. Sections 134 and 135 are clear and must be given their literal interpretation. So long as the constitution does not say that the tenure of every level of govt must come to an end on the 29th of May 2023, then the position of sections 134 &135 of the constitution must be given its imprimatur by the courts of the land.

A presidential election petition is no more important than every other litigation in the country and since other States now have their off-season elections by court decisions, it then goes to give credence to the fact that May 29th is not sacrosanct for the inauguration of a new govt.

The swearing of a new govt. at the federal level, must await the final decision of the highest court of the land. My humble view on this matter.

NB. This is what Peter Obi used against Andy Uba in tenure interpretation.

Should the governors, senators, rep members be sworn in come May 29 or they should wait till the various tribunals conclude their trails? Remember these people have election petitions challenging their legitimacy also?

What section will the Appeal Court use to backup this judgement?

I believe the North are cooking something ooo. CJN BAT Should just watch out

Nobody is cooking anything

Bola Tinubu will become the president on may 29

Make una face reality and leave all this chidish talk

IPOB members and their lawyers don't think like that.

All northerners include those who supported Atiku have accepted Tinubu victory. They prefer Tinubu one million times to Peter Obi.

Desperate Ipob members, Obi will never rule this country.

So you are pushing for 3rd Term for Buhari. That Lawyer is a daft. What then happens to the Electoral Act?
That argument is dead on arrival. Anyway Obi didn't ask for such relief and Court can't dash you what you didn't ask for, court is not a father Christmas

Does the op knows that staying a day beyond stipulated 4/8years or 1/2term in office is tantamount to tenure elongation which is also alien to the Nigerian Constitution.
Be wise

Tinubu is in deep trouble and mess

The fact that court of appeal hasn't put the sweet in on hold shows they are not seeing anything tangible enough to pause it

It doesn’t

Tinubu the clueless drug baron is in deep trouble. He will never escape the trouble he put himself into.

And as Buhari rightfully said to Lawyers at NBA conference

He Buhari would set aside court injuction and pronouncement on matters of National security


We know the day a court pronounces such judgement... A war and ethnic cleansing starts

Markets would go up in flames as arsonist would wreck havoc as don during the wettiie crisis of 70s,

.a particular tribe would become endengered specie in the North and West as previous Massacres would be child's play with the current level of arms in circulation

Is this a threat ?
