On Tuesday, the House of Representatives condemned calls for an interim government in Nigeria after May 29, 2023.
The lawmakers feared that such calls would suffocate the country’s fledgling democracy and spread anarchy throughout the country.
This came after a member, Unyime Idem, raised a motion of urgent national importance, drawing the attention of the green chamber to a statement issued by the Department of State Services (DSS) warning of plots to install an interim government following the outcome of the presidential election.
The House urged security agencies to be on high alert and advised aggrieved parties to wait for the outcome of court proceedings.
One lawmaker, Ademorin Kuye accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of culpability for calling for cancellation of the results of the presidential election.
