We will oppose interim government – Sen. Adeyeye

Sen. Dayo Adeyeye, who is the National Coordinator of the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA), says that people who care about democracy in the country will fight against the creation of any kind of interim government before the new president takes office on May 29.
SWAGA was one of the most influential groups in the election of Sen. Bola Tinubu, who is now the President-elect.
Adeyeye warned those who advocated for an interim government in order to appease politicians following the outcome of the presidential election on February 25.
He stated that such appeals could cause anarchy, thus he urged everyone interested in the country’s democratic process to oppose the move, particularly the prophesies of some false pastors.
He stated that every election must have a winner and a loser, and that Nigerian politicians should be more sportsmanlike in their campaigns rather than jeopardising national peace and unity at every opportunity.
“I am not claiming that the polls are faultless, but from the perspective of INEC and any objective Nigerian, these elections are very good and transparent, making them the best ever held since 1999.”
“I want to appeal to all Nigerians to ignore the noise-making of these people who wish to create anarchy, and that Nigerians should start reasoning and stop making false forecasts.”
I saw a video, and I believe this is what is driving the “Obidients.” A phoney pastor claimed that Tinubu will be declared the winner but would not be sworn in. And the government would form an interim government, which it would hand over to Peter Obi. “And I, Dayo Adeyeye, will be a citizen of this country and allow that to happen?” That will not take place. We will band together with others to oppose it.”
He also warned that persons with such ambitions were capable of damaging and pulling the country apart.
“Do you want to ruin the country, break it apart, and say goodbye to Nigeria?” Some patriotic inhabitants of this country will not allow this to happen. Would I have voted for my candidate, and he emerged and was declared, just to hear you say no, you want an interim government? What terrain are you looking for?
”
What will be the interim government’s legitimacy? Who voted for the temporary administration, and who is in charge of it? What will the temporary government’s mandate be, and who will be its members? These are the important questions to consider.
“Millions of Nigerians have exercised their civil rights, and there is a winner.” You might not like the person. That is the allure of democracy.
I’d like to state unequivocally that temporary governance will never occur again in this country. Some of us who battled for NADECO will not let this happen. On June 12, 1993, the findings were not even announced. Yet, in this situation, the results have been announced, and we now have a President-elect.
The inauguration of a new president is scheduled for May 29. Anything less is tantamount to begging for the end of Nigeria. As a result, those advocating for an interim government should put the idea to rest. “It’ll never happen.” Elections are now finished, and I have been waiting for four weeks for any of the opposition political parties to release their own version of results in addition to what INEC released.
Nobody has come up with anything other than yelling that the elections are rigged.
“It is proof of rigging.” So, you can tell from our agents that these are the numbers of votes that our agents gave us, and these are the statistics that INEC posted. Nobody has made a claim like this before. ” Instead, they’ve fostered hostility, attempted unrest, and questioned the integrity of the INEC.”
“They have been creating impressions not just within the country but also in the international community that the election was anything but free, fair, and transparent, with no proof, evidence, or alternative results they can provide anywhere,” he said.
Adeyeye went on to say, “Now that they’ve gone to court, let them go and prove their points in court.” But I will never agree with you demonstrating every day and going to foreign embassies in Nigeria to claim that your elections were rigged.”
As a result, he applauded the INEC and, in particular, its chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, for providing Nigerians with an election that, in his opinion, has strengthened the country’s unity.
“This is the kind of election that pulls the country together.”
“In Jigawa, Zamfara, and Sokoto, a candidate from the southwest was able to win.” Despite the fact that it was a Muslim ticket, this happened. Religious and tribal emotions were buried.” A candidate from the southeast was successful in Lagos and the Plateau, while Atiku was successful in Osun. “I believe this should bring Nigerians closer together and unite us rather than endanger our unity,” he remarked.
