While receiving the Interim Report from the 19-man Transition Committee under the Chairmanship of Alhaji Ahmed Joda in Abuja, Nigeria’s president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed that the incoming administration is yet to receive any briefing from the Goodluck Jonathan government as the country prepares for the transfer of power in a week. He however clarifies that his transition committee was not formed to indict the present administration, but to know where to begin from. His words below;
“The incoming government was misunderstood. It is not that we are preparing for indictment. What we are trying to get is a starting point, where we are exactly going to start from.
“We have seen the debt profile and the performance of the economy.
“The question is what we can do about it especially the urgent ones like social security, lack of fuel in the country and fraud. The list is endless.
“I thank you for what you have done and I hope that the subsequent submission by the government will make your job easier and more efficient and tell us where to begin from.”
“My expectations were that each ministry makes its own presentation. The politicians know that they are going while the bureaucrats who do the job know they are staying.
“They are the ones who are going to do the job and they are going to be available to help cross check the information.
“I think that this research you have made will help the incoming government to cross check the information on paper given by the outgoing government,” he said.
