The Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has expressed support for the President-elect, Bola Tinubu amid calls for an interim government.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo described the call for an interim government as satanic and unconstitutional; stressing that the group would never be part of such an evil in Nigeria.
The Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, urged the Department of State Service (DSS), to arrest those behind the clamour for an interim government.
According to Isiguzoro: “Ndigbo will never be part of any interim government; the DSS should arrest those behind the scene plotting to have an interim government.
“Ohanaeze challenges the DSS to arrest those who are the proponent of the interim government to ensure that unpatriotic elements of doom do not derail our democracy with the evil intent to stall the smooth transition of power from Buhari to Tinubu.
“Ndigbo will not recognize any interim government or be part of any evil scheme and clamour for an interim government. The clamour for an interim government is unconstitutional, satanic, and demonic; those behind the call are trying to plunge the country into an unavoidable crisis and make Ndigbo a scapegoat, as witnessed in 1993.
“Ndigbo will participate in all inauguration and swearing-in ceremony of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu. We caution those working behind the scene for an illegitimate government to use the court to express their grievances.
“We are happy that Atiku and Peter Obi have exploited the legal options in order to recover their legal mandate. We will not allow unpatriotic mortals to truncate the hard-earned democracy in Nigeria.
“Ndigbo condemns both in words and letters the call for the establishment of an interim government and insists that the President-elect should be sworn in by May 29, 2023.”
“We will continue to support the president-elect and ask him to commence the healing process from the Southeast.”
Reconciliation among the key players in Nigeria politics is yielding positive results. At the end of the day, they end up negotiating for offices. I hope reconciliation moves will not be to the detriment of long awaited performance and masses centred improved welfare. The Cabals must not end up subjecting us to suffering. God bless Nigeria.
On point! Masses centred improved welfare is the key
