Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has kicked against the call by some persons for the imposition of an interim national government.
The Governors faulted the Department of State Services (DSS) for only issuing a statement in that regard rather than arresting proponents of an interim government.
The communique, signed by the forum’s Chairman, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, at the end of a meeting held on March 29 was made available on Friday by the NGF secretariat.
“The forum deliberated extensively on the alleged plot by some unscrupulous elements to install an interim government, as contained in the recent statement issued by the Department for State Services (DSS).
“Governors condemned in the strongest terms, any unconstitutional means of regime change and pledged their commitment to continue to defend Nigeria’s democracy as elected leaders.
“In addition, the forum believes that issuing statements without arrests is akin to heating up the polity and causing unwarranted tension in the country.
“It called on the DSS to do its job by immediately arresting and prosecuting all those involved in the plot as a matter of urgency,” said the forum in the communique.
