Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed, the Labour Party's vice presidential candidate in the recently concluded February 25 elections, has insisted that President-elect Bola Tinubu cannot be sworn in.

Datti told Arise TV on Wednesday that swearing in Tinubu would be "as good as swearing in a military regime."

According to the vice presidential candidate, a constitutional violation occurred during the presidential election that resulted in Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, being elected President-elect.

Datti claimed that the certificate of return issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to the former Lagos Governor has no value.

He said, "We cannot have a president- elect when there has been a constitutional breach. There's a clear interpretation of Section 134 and INEC's interpretation of Section 134.

"Asiwaju Tinubu is no President-elect, what he holds is a dud certificate that has no value.

"Swearing in Tinubu is an assault on the constitution, swearing in Tinubu is as good as swearing in a military regime."
