On Friday, Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), condemned the calls from some groups and individuals to install an interim government.
The IPAC National Chairman, Sani Yabagi, has condemned the calls totally, he said this in a press conference held after the council’s emergency general meeting in Abuja.
Yabagi insisted that the statement by the Department of State Service (DSS) that it had discovered a plan by some persons to violently disrupt Nigeria’s peace and install an interim government was disturbing.

The Chairman described the interim government as unacceptable, undemocratic and unconstitutional.
Yabagi said, “It’s an attempt to overheat the polity, cause confusion, political upheavals, impasse and quagmire as was the case in the infamous annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election that necessitated the hasty set up of an interim government by General Ibrahim Babangida, which was headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan in August 1993.
“The court declared it illegal, and the interim national government was overthrown by General Sani Abacha in November, same year.”
Recall that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently challenged the DSS to apprehend plotters of a possible interim national government.
