Baba-Ahmed asked the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to conduct another presidential election.

In the interview, the LP chieftain seriously lambasted the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

His words:

“Labour Party won the 2023 presidential elections; no doubt about it. They (APC) are cheats, they are bullies and they have taken full advantage of the situation in Nigeria.
“Can Tinubu and Shettima just resign and let the Senate President conduct another election? They were fraudulently sworn in, and we will not work with an illegitimate government.
"If it is not constitutional, we are not touching it.”

Cleric calls for Tinubu's resignation

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the spiritual leader of the Holy Ghost Mountain Zion City of Miracle for All Nations, Prophet David Yahweh, asked Tinubu to resign as President.

The cleric asked Tinubu to resign due to ceaseless mindless killings by non-state actors.

Legit.ng also reported that a prominent opposition figure, Timi Frank, called on President Tinubu to step down before the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States reveal his past actions and background, potentially causing embarrassment.

Frank questioned why Tinubu would allegedly try to obstruct the FBI and CIA from releasing information about him if he had nothing to conceal.
