He said further that it would be interesting to hear the excuses that would emanate from Tinubu’s administration.

He tweeted:

“It will be interesting to hear the excuses they would give because there would be tons of excuses.
“The outgoing government in 8 years blamed their failures on PDP.

Why Tinubu's inauguration cannot be suspended

A fresh motion on notice seeking to stop the president-elect, Tinubu, from being inaugurated as Nigeria’s new president on Monday, May 29, 2023, has been instituted at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

Ambrose Owuru predicated his grouse against the inauguration of Tinubu on the ground that he is the constitutionally adjudged winner of the 2019 election and has not spent his tenure as required by law.

Reacting to this development, a top Nigerian lawyer, Barrister Oluwole Olukunle Moses, disclosed that Tinubu's inauguration is imminent and cannot be suspended constitutionally.
