Things should be done properly.

Nobody is making fuss out of nothing.

Why 28th, why dinner night? Is Nigeria a joke?

driand:
you talk like a kid of less than 9, why should handover take place at a dinner? Why not wait till the official date and in the full glare of the whole world? Think.

kodded:
am not in support of this either but the way apc guys are heating up this situation might lead to another presidential election scenario where nigeria almost divide.........beside if violence break out due to this issue we the masses will suffer it and not them smh

Moheat:


Nigeria became a joke the day a certificateless man was elected president.

Kolade354:
God will Bless you I cant even believe anybody in his right senses will support may 28th Handover when the constituiton says may29th............I DONT EVEN KNOW WHETHER EVERYTHING IN NIGERIA MUST INVOLVE PARTY AND DINNER.

Simplymeah:

U r rather d mumu hia if all u wish 4 is failure @ dis crucial moment. We r nt politicians,we jst Nigerians clamourin 4 growth n devt! Mind u,dis is nt abt GEJ or GMB - it's abt us n d future of our children!

hush15:


again, let's us stop misinterpreting the actions of the President has he has no intention of frustrating the incoming government. this is an unnecessary alarm being raised. why would anyone in his right senses that conceded defeat would still want to hold on to power or frustrate a transition process that will serve as the hallmark of his administration? That he handed over successful still have a lot to Jonathan's administration considering all what he has been through and happened.

While we misinterpreting the handover, the handover is just an event to formally hand over all necessary documents and briefs or additional documentation needed by the incoming government on the affairs and status of affairs of the nation. This is just a prelude to the actual event which is the swearing in. The swearing in is the main event that officially makes the President elect, the President and transfer powers to him by the constitution and not an event where they receive documents and handover notes as some people are misinterpreting..

Handing over is not a constitutional thing but a discretional choice between who us coming in and who is going out.

After swearing in, would Bugatti still be calling Jonathan to come and brief him on the state of affairs of some ministry and the presidency, let's be reasonable and speak the truth rather than condemning and hating....

APC LIKE MAKING A FUSS OUT OF NOTHING




.......HOPE THIS WILLNT RESULT TO ANOTHER POLITICAL VIOLENCE


MoDiFiEd
to those that say jonathan should obey the constitution well that same constitution said buhari is not eligible but yet he contested





Hypocrite

Chars1289:


accept defeat in good faith being irascible will continue to raise ur blood pressure.Many GEJ supporters dealt wit the loss for few days and hve moved on.

hamilton62:

My dear, stop thinking this will do any good for you... I don't like the lashing on nairaland these days please we should take it easy. If truly GMB said both as he wrote, we need Gods grace because from my knowledge... Deceit and lies are the hall mark or every ill the world knows today.
But in all I refuse to be a pessimist because we all have everything to gain if the government works good and all to loose if it does otherwise.
Please, maturity is what you need though because of your signature... You don't know who is watching you... Hatred is one big force we should avoid inciting in our beautiful country because we got no other.

These are the true enemies of democracy! Keep wishing for Buhari's failure, instead of hoping for the best you are being negative, you fail to realise that when a govt fails you are affected personally.

abanzi:


Guy, indeed there is a difference. And its because of this difference that the two processes should be done simultaneously to avoid a vacuum in the governance of this Country. If you understand politics and governance very well, you would know that 8 hours between handover and swearing in is a very big risk for a country wherein there is no one accountable for the leadership of the country within those hours.
And that's the concern being voiced out, which any reasonable person should understand.

Chars1289:

While d so called cerfiticated president was shown the way out of Aso rock.Deal with it

MalcoImX:
Which constitution says Buhari is not eligible? The one in your bedroom, abi?

caselessogbuagu:
which style of bashing are you going to come up with that buhari has not seen? Which kind of bashing is buhari and his supporters new to? Buhari is the most blackmailed Nigerian alive...can you beat that? Buhari has seen it all; he has been down the same road before. So, save your bashing gun!

ocelot2006:


Sure, cos his last tenure as dictactor.was so smooth it made Jesus jealous, abi? Dey there.

@ Topic, this is simply ridiculous. I thought APC will rejoice that the president has shifted the handover date backwards. Yet these clowns are still whinning like spoilt brats. Truly pathetic.

kodded:
oya show me his certificate la

hush15:


There is a difference between handing over and swearing in.

the swearing in is taking place on May 29. I wonder why people can't understand the difference? the handover is just the night before which has to do with welcoming and ushering in the new government to be sworn in the morning after and briefing them all other information needed. which is OK to take place before swearing than after immediately upon swearing in, the government can kick into action.

I understand now that it's all bout hate. Nigerians hate Jonathan so much that it is generally accepted that nothing good can come from him abi,


very unfair. if that man can concede defeat for the greater good of our country, it's sad to know that Nigerians can't trust him on a simple handover.

MalcoImX:
Show me the constitution which barred him first. Of all the generals that NA produced it is only Buhari that has no certificate, abi? This is an issue only to mischief makers.

ozoigbondu:
l love you GEJ Whenever they like let them hand over l just want buhari on the hot seat so he can be mercilessly bashed when he messes up

Obinoscopy:
I think APC is trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Jonathan remains president until after Buhari is being sworn in. Buhari isn't president until he is being sworn in by the Chief Justice of the Federation. The handover is just a handing over of some symbolic documents, nothing more. Handing over of some other vital documents continues even after the swearing in.

Besides the constitution never said anything against handing over on the eve of swearing in date.

otr1:

Go and study the history of Nigeria economy or better still ask those who witnessed his reign.
Only criminals will tell you it's not far better than now. He's here to do it again.

mrtruth:
If truly you just called the President of the federal Republic of Nig a donkey, then ..... I just reserve my comment. Rather leave you to rot in the darkness of your ignorance because there's hardly any hope for you. But just to give you an idea? No use....

nduchucks:
Why would GEJ want to create a period where Nigeria has no President?

The clueless one continues to out do himself and continues to display grand idiosy. They tried to short circuit our democracy with Orubebe's foolishness, now this.

As soon as he unconstitutionally hands over to a ghost on May 28, he should be immediately arrested or placed under guarded house arrest until May 29. nansense.

Section 131 of the Constitution, which prescribes a minimum qualification for nomination to participate in Presidential Elections and Section 31 of the Electoral Act that stipulates that all presidential candidates must depose to affidavits indicating their compliance with constitutional requirements to be president.
