This act, he said, violates Section 183 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).
The Section states that a state governor “shall not, during the period when he holds office, hold any other executive office or paid employment in any capacity whatsoever.”
“Consequently, the congresses as well as the National Convention which produced APC excos including the Adamu Abdullahi-led NWC are void,” he said. Mr Tinubu, he added, has nothing to offer “being the architect of the woes, calamities and life-discounting experiences faced by Nigerians in the last seven and half years.”
Mr Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, was elected as the APC flag-bearer on 8 June after beating 13 other candidates including the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and former Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi.Efforts to get the spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council , Festus Keyamo, to react to the indictment by the PDP were unsuccessful.Another spokesperson of the PCC, Bayo Onanuga, did not also pick calls to his mobile telephone.
