ABUJA—Former Military Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, yesterday, reassured Nigerians that there will be no interim government, contrary to fears in some quarters.

The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Chief John Oyegun also said electoral violence will abate, if electoral law is enforced without bias.

Abubakar, who is the chairman of the Peace Committee, made up of security Chiefs, party and religious leaders, told journalists during a press conference that going by President Goodluck Jonathan’s promise, elections will hold as scheduled, and May 29 handover date remains sacrosanct.

He equally called on party leaders to call their followers to order, warning that the country cannot afford to entertain another violence after the elections.
