Tinubu Accuses Buhari's Aides of Planning Interim National Govt

• Bola Tinubu has alleged that there are plans to scuttle the forthcoming 2023 presidential election across Nigeria
• The APC presidential candidate said some people in the corridors of power are behind the plot to deny Nigerians their franchise
• The former Lagos state governor, however, pleaded with Nigerians not to be provoked into causing violence

Ado Ekiti - All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Friday, February 3, alleged moves by some people in the corridor of power to foist an interim national government on Nigeria.

According to the former Lagos state governor, the plotters hope to achieve their objective by provoking Nigerians through the crisis arising from the naira notes redesign and the current fuel scarcity.

He said the plotters were working on the theory that the possible unrest sparked by the crisis would force the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone the coming elections and proceed to install an interim national government.

Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba told the audience that he is a true leader committed and dedicated to bring about the desired change in the governance.

The Nation quoted him as saying:

“Relax, this election is yours. You will use it to liberate yourselves. They want to turn us to slaves. We are not slaves. They locked up money. Trek to your poling units, vote and stay with your vote.

“I beg you in the name of God, this is not a matter for violence. Don’t fight them. Those who locked up your money will eventually unlock it.
