In the aftermath of the outgoing Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government’ call to the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to mind against utterances and actions that seem to indicate he is running a parallel government, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has published the contentious terms of reference, which elicited the warning.

On Wednesday, after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister of National Planning, Dr. Abubakar Sulaiman, had conveyed Government’s exception to the terms of reference the president-elect gave to his transition committee.

“We take exception to some utterances and some of the terms of reference that look as if the current government is being stampeded or intimidated”, the minister told State House Correspondents.

On the heels of a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, which accused the Jonathan administration of plotting to hinder a smooth transition on May 29, the incoming governing party has published the terms of reference for Mr. Buhari’s transition committee on its website, for the records.

So sure this is the part giving them sleepless nights. While the bolder part only shows this administration is set for real progress of the country.

Speechless

Bunch of clueless people

Now can any sensible Jonathanian take a look at this and tell us what in seven hells is wrong with the demands of the incoming government?? These are the terms of reference PDP is kicking against, and except I'm too blind to recognise Buhari's face, I'm yet to see anything in this document that constitutes a provocative demand.

Haba Jonathan, wise up for once naw.

better !! Come on knees down

APC should relax till may 29

What is provocative in this list?

Only a mischievous and evil minded person will have a problem with these terms of reference. What exactly does Jonathan want?

His minions have nominated him already for a Nobel peace 'price' for conceding defeat.....isn't that enough? Must we stop governance to keep on celebrating his 'heroism'? Isn't it very glaring now that his supposed readiness to quit is a lie and a facade?

Abeg he should handover and proceed to Norway for his Nobel laureate investure ceremony.

So why is Jonathan government disturbing us with shout of parallel government? It's beginning to seems like Jonathan don't want to leave that seat.

.

Why is it 'paining' Mr President?
If and if he was this focused and time bound.,he would still be President.
Wetin come dey pain am?

aghhh iyen ti poju

The inexperience of APC and their anxiety to take charge of government is clearly childish and myopic. Why not wait till May 29 so you can stabilize the price of crude oil ?

I see nothing defining "parallel" in the terms, except maybe the outgoing government is pained by the "get back to us in 2 weeks" clause attached. Still, rather than accuse the incoming government of running a parallel government, they could've written to them to say they won't be able to get all the required information within the 2week timeframe, and then provide a more convenient timeframe for their work to be ready, May 14 as I have overheard

well let me give u presidential pardon

Billyonaire:
Why is the information at the public domain, and why are they asking PDP for suggestion on how to fix the problems, I think they won election promising magical changes and now are asking for advise.

Is this all you can say? The information is in public domain because of pdp's accusation. Thought you had some sense in that you head!

By the way, where is barcanistar aka protection seeker! Why has he not open a thread on this yet?
