Nigeria: Interim Government a Plot By APC and DSS to Subvert Election Tribunal, PDP Claims

But in a swift response, the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the APC has said that the main opposition party was suffering from post-election trauma.
The National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, who blamed the APC for the DSS alarm, in an interview with THISDAY in Abuja on Saturday, argued that the ruling party was aware that it did not win the presidential election held on February 25.
According to the main opposition party, the ruling party is working covertly to suggest that the opposition parties are clamouring for an interim government, knowing full well that both the President-elect, Bola Tinubu and the party cannot survive the outcome of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal.

“The entire idea of an interim government is a plot by the APC and the DSS to subvert the outcome of the presidential election tribunal. Why should the PDP be part of it? We know the PDP won the presidential election. We are at the presidential tribunal to prove we won; so, why must we follow all illegal routes?
“As a party of due process and a party that believes in the Constitution of Nigeria, we are in the presidential election tribunal challenging the illegalities that took place on February 25.
“Why should we opt for a short option? Look, the idea of the interim government is the brainchild of the APC, because they knew what they concocted with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); the APC knew that the election is nothing but a sham and therefore cannot stand the test of time.
“This explains its theory of Interim government with the DSS, trying to find a way out of their awful rigging. Have you been reading international journals and newspapers and seeing how Nigeria has become a laughing stock as well as begging serious democratic nations to congratulate Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president-elect?
