"It’s impossible to believe that the President who inaugurated a transition committee will at the same time be muting the idea of an interim Government.
"Interim Gov’t is a work of fiction by its authors."
Nigerians react to Shehu Sani opinion
Reacting to the tweet by the former lawmaker, some Nigerians said people fabricate all sorts of claims once they are sure of losing out of something.
A tweep, @elvoncitas said:
"When people are scared of losing elections they say all manner of things to truncate the system."
For another tweep, @highlandre1, the president has done everything to give Nigerians a free, fair and credible election.
He said:
"President Buhari has shown everything possible to give Nigerians an election we can all be proud of, but potential losers are singing different songs to derail the process."
It's unfortunate that politicians are using this moment to unsettle the country. People's votes must count!
"Emefiele and others want military to take over, plan to make Nigerians suffer", El Rufai insists

According to him, Emefiele wants to cause so much hardship that will lead to rebellion and consequent military takeover.
The governor added that a retired Army general will take over the country on an interim basis if enough chaos is created.
