Nigerian CSOs Reject Unconstitutional Take-Over

Civil Society Organisations in Nigeria have declared that they reject the perpetration of lawlessness by a clique and decried suggestions of take-over of power by the armed forces following the continued absence of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua on medical grounds.

They point out that, "We note the vacuum created in the day-to-day running of government due to the president's failure to transmit powers to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan as constitutionally stipulated.

They further say that, “We cannot afford an unconstitutional seizure of power at this time of our nascent democracy as this will only aggravate the situation and plunge the nation into chaos."
