Governors of the 36 States in the federation have voiced out in unison against the call by some elements for the imposition of an interim national government.

It tasked the DSS to urgently apprehend and prosecute those behind the unconstitutional and aberrant proposition. Their position is contained in a communiqué at the end of a meeting of the NGF held on March 29.
