Comrade Frank tackles Tinubu with constitutional reference
Frank urged President Tinubu to vacate the seat of authority while referring to the constitutional stipulations of Section 137(1)(j), which states that no one would be legitimately elected as President of Nigeria if the person has “presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.”
He said:
“We also call on the authorities of ECOWAS to ask him to vacate the office of the chairman, otherwise, every decision that ECOWAS will take under his leadership will be null and void and will not be respected.
“He can no longer and must not be allowed to proceed as ECOWAS chairman or engage in negotiation on behalf of ECOWAS because it will not be legitimate.”
He further alleged that President Tinubu’s action negates democratic standards and charters to which Nigeria, ECOWAS and all AU members subscribe.
