Part of the statement read ”Let us easily, specifically and emphatically state that there’s absolutely no truth to the claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is working towards an interim government or even worse, the truncation of democracy-democracy that he has helped to keep alive not only then at home, in West Africa but throughout the continent.
The President looks forward to handing over the authority of power to his elected successor. This will be on May 29, 2023 as the constitution requires it. ”
