Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State says those advocating an interim government after the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari are daydreaming.

He made the comment after a meeting with the President on Thursday at the State House in Abuja.

In a chat with State House correspondents, he asserted that the support of interim government would be working against the principle of democracy, which the President has vowed to uphold.

He expressed confidence that the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu would meet the expectations of Nigerians and hitting the ground running immediately after his inauguration on May 29, 2023.

Referencing Tinubu’s service in Lagos State, Lalong said the President-Elect would surpass expectations as the party works towards realising its campaign promises.

The Department of State Services (DSS) had on Wednesday raised an alarm over a plot to set aside the constitution and install an interim government by “misguided” political actors.

The secret police also said the plot being pursued by these “entrenched interests” is not only an aberration but a “mischievous way” to set aside the constitution and undermine civil rule, warning that such will plunge the country into an avoidable crisis.

Agbados should be appreciating obidients for making Mazi Tinubu the president elect

APC lost plateau state. Lalong is jobless at the moment.

Don't be surprised he has gone to lobby for a juicy position in the interim government.

While you are wailing, those that want to be part of the government are aligning themselves.

Politics is all about permanent interest, no permanent friend.

Peterobiisathie:
so you believe that Buhari will handover to interim government ? Are you also Ibo?

Ikaeniyan0:
The Nigerian Constitution does not even recognise such a thing

mployer:
A simple court injunction will do that.

Ikaeniyan0:
Please what are you saying? I don't understand

mployer:
He will just get a court injunction to install an interim government pending court decision on presidential election.

Ikaeniyan0:
Nobody can get a court injunction to install an interim government. The court does not have the power to do so because is not recognise by the Nigerian Constitution.

On what part of our constitution will such a judgement be base on?

The Nigerian Constitution does not recognise anything called "An Interim Government", neither can anybody go to the court and tell the court to install him as the head of an interim government.

Please make we dey deal on facts alone

mployer:
There's provision for interim government in every democracy.

Ikaeniyan0:
You're lying

Can you show me where the Nigerian Constitution give room for an "interim government" please?

There's no country practising democracy in the world where an interim government is recognised.

Please, relax

There's no need for you to start abusing or cursing me cause of my opinion. Don't forget you quoted me, I didn't quote you, so please stop been aggressive, we learn everyday.

I still maintain my ground, an interim government is not recognise in the Nigerian Constitution unless you can prove me wrong.

An there's no democracy in the world were "an interim government" is recognise.

learn when and how to use being and been

You never believed he would frustrate your vote-buying plan by sticking to the naira redesign policy.

DSS barked then, just like they are doing now.

I go soon clear for una eye.

Ikaeniyan0:
I'm glad you now know no democracy recognise "an interim government".

You should be thanking me.
