President Goodluck Jonathan
...Vows to deal with those behind interim government
By Jaiyeola Andrews in Abuja
President Goodluck Jonathan Saturday
insisted that the presidential election slated for next Saturday, as well as those of April 11 must hold as scheduled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He equally vowed to deal with those flying the kite of interim government according to the law.
The president spoke in Daura, Katsina State where he paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruk Umar.
"Let me use this opportunity to make a statement again because sometimes I read in the papers of people talking about interim government. Even yesterday some people were making pronouncement that some people are planning interim government.
"And I will say that anybody who is planning or who is linked to anything that has to do with interim government must be dealt with according to the law. It is treasonable and government will not allow it.
"So, if people are arrested and being prosecuted, people should not say government is haunting people. There is no reason why people should talk about interim government that is not known to our constitution. It is treasonable and I will advise Nigerians to keep away from it.
