PLATEAU State Governor, Simon Lalong, has said that the idea of an interim government which would halt the inauguration of Bola Tinubu would not work.
Lalong argued on Thursday after meeting with Buhari at the Aso Rock, that the president, whom he claims believes in democracy, has already indicated his readiness to retire to his Daura home, adding that such arrangement is not feasible under the president.
“Not under the administration of President Buhari, who has been saying every time that I believe in democracy. I believe that after my tenure, I want to go and rest.’’ the Plateau State Governor said.
“So those who are still talking about it (interim government), I will say they are just dreaming. By the grace of God, Buhari is going to bring a successor and that successor is already Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Lalong said.
President-elect Tinubu’s major rivals in the February 25 election, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party – PDP and Peter Obi of the Labour Party – LP, have rejected the results and are both currently challenging the outcome at the court of law, with both alleging that the process was rigged.
Although Atiku’s PDP has joined the All Progressives Congress – APC in asking the Department of State Services – DSS, to apprehend plotters of a possible interim national government.
