The Federal Government says protests and litigations cannot stop the May 29 inauguration of President-elect and his deputy, Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima.
The Federal Government made this claim through the Chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.
He said: “Let me say without any fear of contradiction, there will be an Inauguration on 29th of May. We will proceed with the inauguration of President-elect Tinubu and the litigation will continue. Our Constitution and Electoral Act have dealt with that. Our laws are sacrosanct.”
Mustapha who described the upcoming event as historically significant to the country and the international community, particularly Africa because of the democratic values and lessons in nationhood, said it was for these reasons, the committee chose ‘Nigeria: Better Together’, as the theme for the 2023 transition.
He said in demonstration of this commitment, the President has directed all relevant government institutions to cooperate with and support the transition process through engagement with the President-Elect’s team.
