Jonathan Hands Over Power On May The 28th Not The 29th by ducii: 3:42pm On Apr 15, 2015
President Goodluck Jonathan will hand over the reigns of affairs of the country to the President-elect, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on May 28, about 24 hours before Buhari’s inauguration.

Minister of Information, Senator Patricia Akwashiki, disclosed this to State House correspondents on Wednesday at the end of the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Jonathan.

Akwashiki said Jonathan would hand over to Buhari at a dinner on the eve of the May 29 Democracy Day.

She said, “By May 28, the President intends to have the formal handing over done at a dinner so that we can reserve May 29 for the incoming government.

“By May 28, we are expected to have concluded our own government and we are welcoming the incoming government.

“Also you know May 29 is our Democracy Day. So, we have activities lined up all through that week, showcasing all what we have achieved and all other things we do normally on our Democracy Day except that this year is special with the inauguration of our new President that is coming up on May 29.”

She added that the President had directed all Ministries, Departments and Agencies to prepare their handover notes and submit same to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Pius Anyim, on or before April 20.

She said it was Anyim’s responsibility to compile the notes which will form Jonathan’s handover document to his successor.

She further said while the valedictory FEC meeting would hold on May 20, everything that requires the President’s approval must be presented to him latest on May 13 so that the incoming government would not accuse him of rushing projects.

The minister added that Jonathan had directed MDAs to brief him on inherited projects and the ones initiated by his administration under their jurisdiction.

She said the briefings were expected to include the status of the projects and levels of implementation.

The minister added, “The President emphasised on the need for all MDAs to submit their handing over notes to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation by 20th of this month, that is next Monday. So we are going to be very busy this weekend putting our handing over notes together.

“The President also emphasised that he would require another little briefing from all MDAs to indicate inherited projects, how far they have been executed and initiated projects by his administration and the level of completion, whether completed, ongoing or abandoned.”

She said the present administration was doing everything possible to ensure smooth transition, adding that Vice President Namadi Sambo is heading the government’s transition committee while Anyim is heading the inauguration committee.

Akwashiki however said notwithstanding the transition programme, governance had not stopped in the country.

“That is not to say that governance has stopped, of course we are in government until the day the President-elect takes his oath of office,” she explained.

Meanwhile, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke; and the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, were among a few ministers who did not attend the Wednesday meeting.

The meeting was the first one held after the March 28 presidential election which Jonathan lost to Buhari.

Before the President arrived the venue, some ministers, especially the core politicians among them used the opportunity to review the polls and their performances in their various states.

They formed small groups to take stock zone-by-zone.

Minister of Police Affairs, Mr. Jelili Adesiyan; Minister of State II, Foreign Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro; Minister of State, Federal Capital Territory, Olajumoke Akinjide; and the Minister of State, Works, Dayo Adeyeye, were seen engrossed in discussion on the Peoples Democratic Party’s performance in the South West while awaiting Jonathan’s arrival at the venue.

It does not matter whether he hands over power on may 28th or may 32nd, what matters is that he did a good job as a president, and he would be remembered for his hardwork even though he was hated by all, but he was finally loved by God his creator for a Job well done...

Jonathan the best democratic president nigeria ever had...

Finally loved by God. Meaning he was initially hated by God Himself.

Lolz... We wouldn't mind the 25th sef. The earlier it is, the better for our morale.

Muguliciousmugu, biko, enough of this hero thing. The election was clearly not about GEJ VS GMB, rather, GEJ VS Electorates. There was no way he would have won, owing to the fact that Nigeria's wheel was thrown into the hands of looters and thieves.

He wouldn't have forced himself down the throats of electorates because people needed a new government and would have done anything to make it happen. He knew he was contesting against the people who once voted him. E for no concede defeat make you come see wetin go happen!

Let's just hurry it up to April 28th.

By then, his boat ride to Otuoke will be ready.


Meanwhile, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke; and the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, were among a few ministers who did not attend the Wednesday meeting.

Of course na. Madueke was busy seeking for asylum, while Ngozi was busy tidying up her CV/resume.

I had a dream yesterday that my dream of a GMB victory was a dream.
But even in that dream I was crying,asking God what sin Nigerians have committed to b cursed with GEJ for another 4yrs.The prophet in d dream now told me that because there are too many liars, murderers, crooks and deviants in Nigeria,God wants to punish us for 4 more years for our docility in accepting such characters at d helm of our affairs for several years such that after 4 more years our sufferings under GEJ would have been so terrible,we wouldn't need anyone to guide us to doing d right thing by taking our destinies into our hands.
When I woke up and realised d reality of a GMB presidency,I did d sign of d cross.But this May 29 for GMB to take over is now looking so distant because of this nightmare I had.
I wish the handover is tomorrow.

I pity Obanikoro in all this saga because he lost his chance for the governorship seat and opportunity to serve as a minister for another 4 years. After all president Jonathan allowed people like Koro to hang around him even after it was obvious the likes of Koro, Okupe and FFK are corrupt and bad image to his administration !!! cool
