Agbakoba: Interim government unconstitutional — we must reject this nonsense | TheCable
Bolanle OlabimtanOlisa Agbakoba, a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association , says there is no provision for an interim government in the country’s constitution.
The DSS said 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.
“It is shocking to learn from the Department of State Security that secret plans are underway to undermine Nigeria’s democratic process and transition, by arrangements of what is described as an interim government. This will be a major set-back and we must all resist,” he said.“I suggest that the gravest possible consequences must be applied to all who are associated with this treasonable intent. The general elections have held, albeit under the most challenging circumstance.
“If the presidential candidates have accepted the democratic process by lodging petitions before the courts, then it is very difficult to understand upon what basis anyone considers that an interim government is a viable and legal alternative. We must all reject this nonsense and respect our Constitution, which has no provision for interim arrangements.
