The Defence Headquarters on Thursday described as unconstitutional calls for an interim government after the emergence of the president-elect.
“So, anyone who comes with something that is alien in the name of an interim government or whatever name not recognised by the Constitution is asking for the overthrow of this Constitution.
“The military is not the court of law. They are making their assertion on what they think they know. The military is a respected institution. So, I know that they will respect the position of the law when pronouncements are being made. While warning that the LP would not succumb to subtle intimidation and bullying, Obasi disclosed that the party and Obi would not relent until they reclaimed their ‘stolen mandate.’
‘’The LP has dutifully and obediently gone to court. It is left for INEC, Senator Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima to respond and the court processes to start.’’ The council’s President, Prof Joseph Oluwasanmi and General Secretary, Niyi Ajibulu, condemned the alleged extra-judicial activities of some political parties and unpatriotic elements since the conclusion of the presidential election, which he said were worrisome.
Odeyemi, while speaking with newsmen in Osogbo on Thursday, expressed concern that more than a week after the claim, the security agency had not made any arrest or exposed those behind the plot.He argued that politicians in the country had shown that they wanted democracy to continue, hence the resort to litigation by those who lost the election.
