Presidential Tribunal: "After May 29, Tinubu May Be Fired"

Atiku Abubakar's legal team has commented on President-elect Bola Tinubu's upcoming inauguration.

In a statement, Atiku's attorney Chris Uche SAN urged supporters of the PDP candidate not to lose sleep over the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Bola Tinubu, whose electoral victory is being challenged in court, on May 29.

“People are asking about May 29. We want to assure people that swearing-in (of Tinubu) is a ceremony that does not tie the hands of the court,” Uche said.
