By Ikechukwu Okaforadi

Some supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday took to the streets to protest against the call for an interim government ahead of the expiration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure on May 29, 2023.

The protesters, under the aegis of Amalgamated APC Support Group, protested in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Led by its South-West

Chairman, Ganiu Akeem Adesina, the group vowed not to support any call for an interim government in the country.

With their placards, members of the group said: “No to Military invasion in Politics”, “On Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s mandate we stand”, “We believe Judiciary to uphold Democracy”, “Go to court, don’t cause War“, “gbega Ipinle Ogun continuity is our project”.

From Ori Omi in Oke-Sokori, the protesters marched through Oke-Ilewo and terminated at the

Governor’s Office in Oke Mosan.

Addressing newsmen, Adesina said the walk was necessitated to defend the Tinubu-Shettima mandate, saying that the election must be upheld.

“The reason we are here is to defend our mandate.The election in which the Presidentelect, Bola Tinubu emerged must be upheld.

“Some people are calling for an interim government and we supporters of Tinubu since 2019 are saying Tinubu must be sworn- in. These people are calling for the cancellation of the election which is against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We are here at the governor’s office to pass our message through the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun to pass the message to President Muhammad Buhari that we in the South-West are saying no to an interim government in Nigeria”, he noted.

The group also said they stand on the reelection of Dapo Abiodun as the governor of Ogun State.
