April 03, (THEWILL) – A chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), Professor Pat Utomi, has described the recent claim by the Department of State Services (DSS), that some identified persons were working to stop the inauguration of President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and foist an Interim National Government (ING) on the country, as a false flag.
The secret police, last week, said it uncovered a plot by “dissident” forces to impose an ING on the country. It also warned those nursing the plot to desist from it or get punished.
In a statement issued by its Spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, the DSS said the “Planners, in their many meetings, have weighed various options, which include, among others, to sponsor endless violent mass protests in major cities to warrant a declaration of State of Emergency. Another is to obtain frivolous court injunctions to forestall the inauguration of new executive administrations and legislative houses at the Federal and State levels.”
Speaking on AIT programme, Kakaaki, on Monday, Prof. Utomi accused the DSS of trying to subvert the country’s democracy by raising a false flag.
According to him, the DSS is playing a game with Nigerians, and acting out a script by some unknown persons in the administration, who want Buhari to stay in office beyond May 29.
He said the plot is to ensure that the government did not hand over power at the stipulated date, describing the DSS action as a “political scavenging for legitimacy” by those who want to perpetuate the incumbent in power beyond the stipulated time.
