“The matter is in court and clearly explained by the law.

“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 normal land.

“I am worried that some people are hellbent on causing uncertainties in the country for reasons best known to them.

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.
