Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, has said an interim government which would halt the inauguration of Bola Tinubu would not work under President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

Lalong stated this on Thursday after meeting with Buhari at Aso Rock.<\/p>\n

His comment came barely 24 hours after the All Progressives Congress, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, challenged the Department of State Services, DSS, to apprehend plotters of a possible interim national government.<\/p>\n

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared Tinubu as the winner of the February 25 presidential election ahead of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party\u2019s Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

However, after INEC\u2019s announcement, Atiku and Obi rejected the results alleging that the election was rigged.<\/p>\n

With the legal battles ahead, there has been talk of an interim government.<\/p>\n

Lalong said: \u201cNot under the administration of President Buhari, who has been saying every time that \u2018I believe in democracy. I believe that after my tenure, I want to go and rest.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSo those who are still talking about it (interim government), I will say they are just dreaming. By the grace of God, Buhari is going to bring a successor and that successor is already Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n
