What Happens If One Who Was Elected Is Not Present During Swearing In. by vincenteger(op): 2:42pm On Mar 30, 2023
What would happen if the president/governor/senator/rep (all elect) is not physically present during the swearing in/oat taking/inauguration ceremony.
Will the vice/ deputy fill in for them for the case of the president/governor.

What about the senator and members of house or representative/assemblies

Absent as in, the person developed dysentery and has to frequent the toilet or because he/she kicked the bucket. My take is, the circumstances of the absence and/or the modalities followed by the absentee to communicate the said absence will be significant to the decision that will be taken.

Nothing will happen, Buhari will handover Obi and life will continue .


On a Serious note, I think the swearing in Date will be postponed ,

Thought about this.......The oath of office has to be taken by the President for example as prescribed by the constitution. Without the Oath of Office the President elect cannot be officially said to be president.

Side note, APC govt has their own means and ways to apply the constitution when it affects them negatively. You'll probably start hearing that it's a mere formality. 😁

The answer is interim government

I don't actually know about that, looking in the comments to grab any point.

Worst case scenario, A body double would be made available.

Why do you believe the president elect /select will not be back to naija in the next 60days.

Hope you don't have a plan

You have answered the question. But Tinubu must not die now. It's a call for prayer: At this point, Tinubu must not die!

If the president-elect is not physically present and cannot be found, his vice would be sworn in and would automatically become the president.

God forbid shetima becoming the president through such means.

I prefer tinubu to be president, Igbo boys who smuggle drugs will make so much money.

A lot of them supported him openly.

Tinubu will be there with his signature cap.
