Interim Government: APC to DSS, bring Baba-Ahmed in for questioning

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has requested that the Department of State Service (DSS) invite Dr. Datti Baba Ahmed, vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), to explain his comments regarding Chief Justice of Nigeria Kayode Ariwoola’s decision not to administer the oath of office to Bola Tinubu on May 29.
Recall that on March 22nd, the VP of the LP stated on national television that swearing in the President-Elect would be the same as inviting the military to take control of Nigerian affairs.

In response, Baba Ahmed should not be detained but rather summoned for questioning, according to the chairman of the APC in Cross River state, who spoke to journalists on Thursday.

He should come and clarify whether he intends to obtain a court injunction or what he really meant, as it might not be firm or correct but there is a connection there.

According to Section 75 of the Electoral Act of 2022, the Certificate of Return for the President-elect has already been issued, and only the Tribunal has the authority to overturn that.
