A STRONG VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY Those interested in wielding power must use the platform of electoral politics The 2023 general election may have come and gone but som
The 2023 general election may have come and gone but some Nigerians are yet to come to terms with the outcome. That perhaps explains some of the bizarre incidents that may also be provoking overreaction from the authorities. In a controversial statement last week, the Department of State Services raised the alarm over what it described as a plot by some “misguided political actors” to foist an interim government on the nation.
For those who may be disappointed by the outcome of the 2023 general election, the idea of an interim government is clearly an odious proposition. Calling for election annulment or holding people inside an aircraft hostage are also reprehensible actions. Only the democratic process unhindered by extraneous machinations offers the society and the state opportunity for periodic change of government.
