Senate President, David Mark, February 17 dismissed
allegations about the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) plotting to form
the interim government.
Some senior officials fear that after the elections postponement, the ruling party’s plan is to us the National Assembly to extend President Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure through an Interim National Government (ING).
Presidency denied the allegations saying that the Nigerian Constitution does not have a provision for the interim government.
According to Punch, Mark once again touched upon the issue during his welcome speech to senators who resumed their work Tuesday.
The Senate head insisted that the ING was alien to the applicable Constitution and therefore could not be formed under the current democratic arrangement.
Mark urged politicians to stop making dangerous claims
