The Presidency, on Friday, said there are no plans by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to extend his tenure beyond May 29, 2023, or install an interim government.
Let us clearly, specifically, and emphatically state that there is absolutely no truth to the claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is working towards an interim government or even worse, the truncation of democracy,” a statement signed by Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu, read on Friday.
The statement is titled, ‘Stop the joke about interim government, elections will hold.’
Shehu said, “The President looks forward to handing over the reins of power to his elected successor. This will happen on May 29, 2023, as the Constitution requires.
the presidency denied the allegations, saying the talk of an interim government was “way off the mark.”
“Those who peddle it stand to gain nothing at all but the creation of panic and the incitement of the public against the Federal Government.
It is another dangerous dimension by people who are afraid that they may lose their elections,” it added.
