President Elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has
inaugurated a 19-member transition
committee with a charge to members not to
engage in a witch hunt or fault finding.
He also announced that his administration
would not witch-hunt anybody because he
was aware that government is a continuum.
Buhari said this while inaugurating the Ahmed
Joda-led transition committee in Abuja, on
Wednesday.
While expressing gratitude to members of the
committee for accepting to serve at very short
notice, he explained that the change from one
government to another always involves
complicated operational challenges.
According to him, the incoming government
needs to know where the previous government
stopped so that it can know where to
continue.
He noted that Nigeria was blessed with
outstanding men and women of competence
and experience in different fields out of which
his team has picked the nineteen to ensure a
smooth process.
Buhari told committee members, “this
assignment though onerous, it is well within
your ability to accomplish, you are required to
assess the information provided to you and
advise me on its quality and accuracy.”He
also said, “It is a simple matter but you must
have the right information if you are to shape
appropriate policy decisions. Needless to
repeat; that your committee and our
government are not to witch-hunt or engage
in fault finding.
“We want the facts and nothing but the facts,
what has been done cannot be undone, our
job is to learn from the mistakes of the past in
an attempt to avoid similar errors.“The time
given for you to complete your assignment,
two weeks, is short but because of the
postponement of the election for six weeks
from February 14 to March 28, the transition
period has been truncated, we are obliged
therefore to fast track steps to May 29.”The
President elect also charged the committee to
ensure that it does not overlook
“essentials.”Buhari who spoke glowingly about
Mallam Ahmed Joda the committee chairman,
described him as one of the few surviving links
of the first republic civil service to the present
day.
He enjoined members of the committee to be
prepared to work hard because Joda is an
exerting task master adding that very few
young men of his age can keep up with him.
Chairman of the Committee, Mallam Ahmed
Joda who spoke on behalf of other members
expressed appreciation to the President elect
for considering them to be worthy to help
prepare the ground for the incoming
administration to take over smoothly on May
29, 2015.He said, “We as a committee are
determined to do the best we can within the
time that is allowed to accomplish your
wishes and to make it possible for you to
achieve your vision and all that you wish for
our country.“When I met you and you briefed
me about this assignment, about the
composition of the committee, I did observe
that I’ve never served on a committee so
weighty like this.
“I have people who are distinguished in their
professions, who have their own enterprises
and have their own businesses to look after
and even serving governors and people in
active service to the service of your incoming
government and to the service of our
motherland.”He explained to the gathering
that members of the committee met for the
first time on Wednesday to get to meet and
know one another and plan the committee’s
schedule of activities over the next two weeks.
Joda also noted that members of the
committee were committed and willing to work
long hours even on weekends to deliver on
their tasks.“I promise you that we’ll do our
best because we are not only serving you, we
are serving our people. We are going to try to
begin to lay the foundation for a strong
country where justice and peace prevail.” He
said.
The chairman expressed the opinion that
Nigerians entrusted general Buhari with the
task of healing their wounds and wiping away
their tears and leading our nation to
greatness because of the confidence they have
in his ability.Joda also said, “I pledge every
one of us will give you the best and most
earnest advice from the bottom of our hearts
in order that our country, together in peace
and unity can realize our goals and
aspirations.“I thank you once again on behalf
of my members and I wish you every success,
your success is our success and the success
of our children and grandchildren and the
citizens of Nigeria.”
