Monday, 23 March 2015

President Jonathan on Saturday visited Daura, Katsina State, the home town of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari to pay a courtesy visit to the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruk Umar.

Shortly after his departure, youths took to the streets and washed the road he took to Emir’s palace with brooms and standby water tanker.

Speaking during the visit, Mr. Jonathan warned that whoever nurses or associated with the idea of the purported Interim National Government (ING) as alleged by some politicians, would be dealt with according to the law.

According to him: “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”.
