The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has described as highly disturbing the revelation by the Directorate of State Security (DSS) that there were plots by some key political players to scuttle the May 29, swearing in of the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Spokesman of the CNG, Suleiman Abdulazeez told Saturday Sun that every well meaning Nigerian must rise up to the occasion to resist any attempt to scuttle the swearing in ceremony of the president-elect.
Abdulazeez said Nigeria cannot afford another interim government because it has the potential to plunge the country into crisis, recalling that the last time Nigeria had an Interim Government in power was about 30 years ago following the June 12, 1993 presidential election which was won by Moshood Abiola but annulled by General Ibrahim Babangida.
“It is insane for any person to even contemplate such a plot for an interim arrangement which most times takes the occasion of wars to bring about and wherever and whenever such a provisional government is put in place, the country’s constitution is done away with and civil rule becomes undermined.
“We certainly would not join any efforts to scuttle the transition process following the emergence of a president-elect through an election process. Any extra-democratic arrangements such as an interim government will be a major set-back and we must all resist it.”
