The National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party, Abayomi Arabambi said any member of the party calling for an Interim Government should be arrested and prosecuted.
Arabambi
stated this while speaking in an exclusive interview on Political Hub, a
Vangaurd’s politcal show on Thursday.
The Labour
Party Spokesperson described proponents of Interim Government as mercenaries
and members of mushroom parties.
He said,
“These are the people we call Obidiots. They are not part of us, they are just
bunch of merceneries. These are people that are predators, people that have no
bearing. They thought our party is an avenue for them to come and expand their
illegal coast.
“Obidients
and the Labour Party should be wary of anybody that wants to cause war. The
Obidients are the people that are with the Labour Party, who have agreed to
follow the rule of law.”
Recall that
the Lamidi Apapa-led faction of the party had, earlier, distanced itself from
the calls for an interim government and the agitations that the
President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, should not be sworn in on May 29, pending
the determination of the petitions before the Presidential Election Tribunal
sitting in Abuja.
The faction
of the party, noted that the swearing-in of Tinubu “may not have any impact on
the ongoing legal tussle on the presidential election involving our party, APC
and INEC.”
LP in a
statement made available to Vanguard in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, by the
faction’s spokesman, Arabambi, posited that the Electoral Act and the
Constitution of Nigeria did not give room for a vacuum, “so whether the
President-elect is sworn in or not, there is right to remove him legally if it
is found out that he was not duly elected.”
Arabambi
recalled how the Court removed Chris Ngige and confirmed Peter Obi as the
Governor of Anambra State in 2003.
Citing
sections 136 and 146 of the Nigeria Constitution, Arabambi said only death or
permanent incapacity can stop a president-elect from being sworn in.
Noting that,
“what Peter Obi is crying for is not supported by the law,” Arabambi noted that
“a refusal to swear-in Tinubu as President on May 29, will create a vacuum in
the system, saying the law does not allow this.
