We Are Yet To Receive Jonathan’s Handover Notes, says APC

A few weeks to May 29 handover date, the transition committee set up by outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan has yet to meet its counterpart committee set up by the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari. 

Reports have it that the handover notes, which the Buhari team is to study and ask questions on, are yet to be ready.

It was gathered in Abuja on Thursday that the argument between the two teams over terms of reference of 

the Ahmed Joda-led Buhari Transition Committee is largely responsible for the deadlock.

Mohammed, confirmed this in a statement he made available to newsmen.

Mohammed, who is a member of the Buhari Transition Committee, explained that while the Jonathan Inauguration Committee had been meeting with its equal in the Buhari team, “its transitional committee has yet to even meet with ours.”

The APC spokesman also blamed a political adviser to President Jonathan for attacking the APC over the issue.

It described as offensive and ill-intentioned the statement credited to the special adviser to the president on political affairs, Prof. Rufai Alkali, that the APC should talk less and plan more for the nation, and that the party (APC) was seeking to stampede the president out of office.
