The Progressives’ Solidarity for Asiwaju (PSA, has described calls by the vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party Baba Datti Ahmed that President Muhammadu Buhari not hand power over to the president-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the call for an interim government following the process and outcome of February 25, 2023 election as undemocratic and an invitation to anarchy.
The chairman/convener of PSA, Chief Ibrahim Emokpaire, said the presidential and the gubernatorial elections have been lost and won and called on all stakeholders to focus on building a better Nigeria.
The 2018 APC national chairmanship aspirant challenged Baba-Ahmed in an exclusive interview in London, stating, “the most awful civilian government is better than the most effective military government”.
A statement issued by the director of press and publicity of PSA, Ayodele Ariyo, said, “It may come as no surprise to anyone that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted an excellent election that was deemed free and fair by many independent institutions and observers. The best option left to losers and winners is to seek redress in court and reconciliation respectively, “ Emokpaire said while acknowledging that an interim government is not constitutional.
He said the losers have another option: To restrategise and vote out the president-elect in 2027 instead of constituting an interim government.
According to him, “The process and outcome of February 25, 2023 and March 18, 2023 elections shows that the Nigerian people love Asiwaju Tinubu and the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC and what the party has achieved under its leadership”.
