Plot To Install An Interim Government - DSS, Confirms Plot

The Department of State Services, DSS, has issued a statement saying that it has confirmed plot to install an interim national government. 

This it said is in order to stop the inauguration of the executive and the legislature at the federal and state levels, thereby truncating the result of the recently-concluded general elections is real.

Dr. Peter Afunanya, a spokesman for the DSS, revealed this in a statement, he said that the agency had identified some of the masterminds but no names were mentioned.

The statement read:  “The DSS considers the plot, being pursued by these entrenched interests, as not only an aberration but a mischievous way to set aside the constitution and undermine civil rule as well as plunge the country into an avoidable crisis.

“The illegality is totally unacceptable in a democracy and to the peace loving Nigerians. This is even more so that the machination is taking place after the peaceful conduct of the elections in most parts of the country.

“The planners, in their many meetings, have weighed various options, which include, among others, to sponsor endless violent mass protests in major cities to warrant a declaration of State of Emergency. Another is to obtain frivolous court injunctions to forestall the inauguration of new executive administrations and legislative houses at the Federal and State levels.

“The DSS supports the President and Commander-in-Chief in his avowed commitment to a hitch-free handover and will assiduously work in this direction. 

”It also supports the Presidential Transition Council and such other related bodies in the states. It will collaborate with them and sister security and law enforcement agencies to ensure seamless inaugurations on May 29, the handover will take place.”
