“Calling for the suspension of the swearing-In of the president-elect beyond May 29 is like calling for anarchy because Nigeria would be without government, and become a norman land.
“I am worried that some people are hellbent in causing uncertainties in the country for reason best known to them.
“Why are you calling for the suspension of the swearing-in, what you are asking for has no position in the law.”
He said the law permitted the president-elect and any governor-elect to proceed with the swearing-in while the case is still in court.
