“Plot For Interim National Government Not Over” – Audu Ogbeh Alleges

Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and current member of the Presidential Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Audu Ogbeh, yesterday, alleged that, plans to install an interim national government were still on, especially with the recent  postponement of the elections

Ogbeh’s position is regardless of the declaration of President Goodluck Jonathan that May 29 hand-over date is sacrosanct.

Ogbeh, a former Minister, who spoke with newsmen in Abuja, lamented that the situation in the country has reduced Nigeria to a laughing stock.

While reflecting on the events that led to the shift of elections, he said “The Nigerian Secuity hierarchy which on 2nd of February, 2015, assured Nigerians that they were ready for the elections turned around to say they were no longer able to guarantee security. What is more dangerous is a paragraph in their letter to INEC which is reported to say that they are seeking six weeks extension in the first instance.

“Does this not suggest that we should expect high level theatrical manipulations as the six weeks get closer to convince us that another six weeks will be necessary? Isn’t this a ploy to ensure we enter May 29 without an election on grounds of nation-wide instability?

“Doesn’t this then? give credence to rumours, and indeed, the declaration in a rowdy press conference four days ago by Dr. Okupe that they have no intention of handing over to General Buhari? Isn’t this leading to the strongly rumoured Interim National Government? It is time for all Nigerians to take heed that there are very few and stormy clouds ahead” he said.
