The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has disclosed that the calls for interim government by some persons in the country are unfortunate and unconstitutional. This was made known in a statement issued on Thursday by the Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Musa Danmadami.
The statement reads in part, “An election has been conducted and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that is mandated, has announced a President-elect.
“It is not our responsibility to speak on that issue but I know that several calls have been made from the Presidency that there is nothing like an interim national government.
“So I think people were just trying to be mischievous. It is unconstitutional and all of us know that. The Constitution does not provide for an interim national government and that is the point the Presidency has been hammering on and that is our stand.
“It is unconstitutional. So anything unconstitutional, as far as I am concerned, is not applicable.”
