Barely six days to go, security agencies have been urged to arrest any member from the opposition making inciteful and treasonable statements ahead of the May 29 inauguration. Ade Omole, former director of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) Diaspora Directorate, placed the call.

The APCchieftain declared that;

"No one can stop the inauguration of Sen. Bola Tinubu, the President-elect scheduled for May 29th.

"Tinubu’s inauguration is sacrosanct because it is fully backed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“No one can stop the inauguration at this point, we are aware of a few disgruntled elements posting inciteful and treasonable statements on social media.

“We are confident that the security agencies have the capacity to deal ruthlessly with any breach, and therefore call on them to arrest such persons immediately.”
