The Emeritus Archbishop of the Catholic Diocese, Cardinal John Onaiyekan has pointed out the implication of swearing-in the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on May 29.

The clergyman stated this while featuring on a channels TV programme on Thursday.

According to him, those who rigged the February 25, 2023 presidential and governorship elections in Nigeria know what they did and God knows them.

Onaiyekan, who said the election is not over yet, revealed that Bola Tinubu and other winners of February 25 and March 18 elections and whose victories are under contention, should not be sworn-in in order to give room for a swift judicial process.

“The election is not yet over. There are cases in court that have not been disposed of. That is why we are in an anomalous situation; we have a declared President-elect whose result is being challenged, and the court is handling it.

“I am entitled to take the position that I am still waiting for the court to determine who won the election.

“I am one of those who have been saying that it does not make much sense to swear in people when they are still in court.

“We have to review the election process to ensure we have a winner who will be sworn in and everybody would rally around.

“I can’t understand; I am not a legal man or judge; it is a pity that it is taking too long for the Court to make up their mind on this matter,” he said.
