The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) denounced the proposal for the establishment of an interim administration in the country on Thursday.
There have been accusations that some groups are opposed to President-elect Bola Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29, 2023.
In response to the reports, the DHQ claimed that an interim administration is unlawful and unconstitutional.

While responding to journalists’ concerns about the request for an interim government, Major General Musa Danmadami, Director of Defence Media Operations (DMO), stated that the DHQ would not support such a move.
Danmadami said, “On the issue of the interim National government I don’t know why people are bringing up this issue it is rather unfortunate. The election has been conducted and INEC who is mandated has announced the president-elect.
“It is not our responsibility to speak on that issue but I know that several calls have been made by the presidency that there is nothing like an interim national government so I think people are just trying to be mischievous. It is unconstitutional and all of us know about it.

“The constitution does not provide for an interim national government and that is the point that the presidency has been hammering and so that is the stand.
“It is not our stand because that is what the constitution says. It is unconstitutional so anything that is unconstitutional as far as I am concerned it’s not applicable.”
