A former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba, says there is no provision for an interim government in the country’s constitution. He added that the gravest possible consequences must be applied to those allegedly behind the plot.
The Department of State Services (DSS) on Wednesday said it had confirmed a plot by some key players to install an interim government and stop Bola Ahmed Tinubu from being inaugurated as president. It added that the plot includes embarking on violent protests nationwide to engineer the declaration of a state of emergency as well as securing frivolous court injunctions to stall the inauguration.
Reacting in a statement issued on Thursday, Agbakoba said the secret plans must be rejected by all Nigerians. He urged parties aggrieved by the presidential election to approach the courts for possible redress.
