•Jonathan, Buhari must ensure peace —US insists

The presidency has ordered a discreet investigation into a reported plot by some high-profile Nigerians to foist an interim government on Nigeria in the event of a deadlocked presidential election next month.

[b]An informed government source confirmed that already, a preliminary report revealed the plot being real with a former president and an unnamed Western country identified as arrowheads of the plan.

The source disclosed that security forces were working on the hint that a possible think-tank existed in the country set up by those promoting the agenda which, it said, “is already fashioning out political strategies and designing a blueprint for the planned interim government.”

The plot, it was gathered, was predicated on fears “that there would be no legitimate government in the country after May 29, 2015.”

The security source said the secret plot is “enjoying the tacit support of a section of the international community, especially a super power with whom Nigeria currently has strained relations.”

The source disclosed that security agents “are aware that the think-tank had so far held two meetings – the inaugural meeting in Lagos and the second in another South West state capital, and it boasts of 12 members drawn from among die-hard loyalists of the former president, many of who are professionals with international connections.’’

An insider told Saturday Tribune that the plot was informed by a security report by some foreign interest groups that the 2015 general elections might be inconclusive, hence the need for an “Option B”.

The source claimed that with a possible Buhari inroad to parts of the South and a Jonathan strong showing in the North Central, a clear winner may not emerge at first ballot on February 14.

“The foreign country’s involvement in the plot is purely economic,” the source said.

The source noted that the foreign country “recruited the likes of the former president and others to work to an answer. A former Nigerian ambassador to that foreign country is said to be the pointsman.”

While decrying the plot, especially the role of the former president in it, the source stressed that “we shall see how far he, his team and the foreign collaborators can go.”[/b]
