President Goodluck Jonathan will hand over power to the President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on May 28, about 24 hours before the actual inauguration date.

The Minister of Information, Patricia Akwashiki, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.

Akwashiki said Jonathan would perform the ceremony at a dinner on the eve of the May 29 Democracy Day.

She said, “By May 28, the President intends to have the formal handover 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, Anyim Pius Anyim, on or before April 20.

She said it was Anyim’s responsibility to compile the notes which would form Jonathan’s handover document to Buhari.

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

The minister said that Jonathan had directed the 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 their levels of implementation.

The minister added, “The President emphasised on the need for all MDAs to submit their handover notes to the Office of the SGF by the 20th of this month, that is next Monday. So we are going to be very busy this weekend putting our handover 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 a 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 he President-elect takes his oath of office,” she explained.

The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke and her Finance counterpart, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, were among the few ministers who did not attend the Wednesday FEC meeting.

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

Before the President arrived at 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

The Minister of Police Affairs, 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 they awaited Jonathan’s arrival at the venue.

alot of fire guts these days from Janjaweedz region. Be careful before you finish IGBO Business

Where did you crawl out from? You need a brain reset. Enough of these IGBO these, YORUBA that! People like you should be banned from NL. Hope you get cured of your ethnic bigotry someday. Wishing you quick recovery

The fact remains that he killed his fellow soldiers from southern Nigeria back then. The blood of those killed in cold blood will continue to haunt him.

Sometimes, I wonder d kind of school you attended. Probably the same your Mama Piss attended. Answer this question:

How old was Buhari in 1966? From my calculation, he was 23.

What rank do you think he had to be responsible for all these?

You obviously need good education.

What an ignorant fellow you are. Your ill-education is sure responsible for this.

For your information, what you call WAEC today was organised and administered by Cambridge University.

It's so unfortunate that your ill-education has made you assume that what obtains today (as found on the internet) is what has always been. Ask Wole Soyinka today what university he attended, he'll tell you University College London, Ibadan Campus. Please get some knowledge of history and stop exposing your ignorance.

EreluY:
[b]Whoever JULIE8 is, you are a disgrace to your family and alma mater, if you have one. And, your ignorance which arguably emanates from your ill-education has turned you into a walking dead. But, as always, I'm committed to bringing the likes of you back to life from the abyss of ignorance and death. So listen if you must stop wallowing in abject ignorance. Cambridge International Examinations conducts the Cambridge International Genereal Secondary Certificate of Education (IGCSE) and their web address is <http://www.cie.org.uk/programmes-and-qualifications/cambridge-secondary-2/cambridge-igcse/>. Conversely, the University of Cambridge offers world class undergraduate and postgraduate education and research programmes. Their web address is <www.cam.ac.uk>. Although the former is owned by the latter, the latter does not concern itself with issues that falls within the remit of the former's operations. Listen and learn. do not wallow and die in ignorance.[/b]

He is a coward!!

Bro, you need to watch NTA news to know the real reason.

At least, 4 out of the first six headlines are always about GEJ's bid.

What a corrupt way of using the power of incumbency!
What a bias TV station!
What a shame to have GEJ as president.

Here is the link for your attention.

PDP is a party of dunces.

Please check the date on that fake letter and quote me again if you will be able to talk.

From my record, today's date is 29th January. Was the letter post-dated?

Is "JIMMY AGBAJE" now the same as JAYKAY PHARMACEUTICAL?
Why then is the letter addressed to his Apapa residence and not to his Ikeja-Based Office?

Guys please think before you write.

PDP! People Deceiving People.

APC are vagabonds and rascals indeed.
they are getting very desperate as the electorate is no longer buying their dirty stinking lies anymore.

PDP is a fraudulent party.

The letter they put up there is addressed to Jimi Agbaje's house and not to JayKay Pharmaceuticals.

Fraudulent party convincing gullible and feeble-minded Lagosians.

We can't be fooled.

eaglechild:
APC gubernatorial campaign rally is being aired live on national television.

This is despite the fact that the president is actively campaigning.

He did not highjack the national media but rather afforded them freedom to air the opposition rallies.

This is a stark contrast to the dog and baboon blood soaking threats from the opposition party.

We all know the past record of Buhari when it comes to freedom of press .

Do we want to go back to the dark days of oppression?

Bros, when last did you take your drugs?

NTA that dedicates about 6 of its first news headlines to GEJ's nonsense campaign everyday. Even in a democratic dispensation.

NTA is one of the most hijacked stations in the world. Watch NTA news at 9 and prove me wrong.

I really don't understand your insolent argument.
I said Oyo State indigenes are considered first.
That doesn't mean all applicants from Oyo State will be taken.
I thought I was clear enough before.

Sir, you are wrong!

nobilis:
No 7 is a very big lie.
Oyo State indigenes are considered first.
Other south-West indigenes are considered second.
Then, people from educationally disadvantaged states.
Lastly, people from all other parts of the country.
I know this from personal experience. So, OP, stop selling that lie here.

The only university I've seen yet oo, that doesn't do that catchment area stuff is UNN. People from Enugu and Anambra, and other SE states (except Ebonyi) find it even more difficult to gain admission into UNN than people from other parts of Nigeria.

Oga, u need to really find out. UI has no consideration whatsoever for any group of pple other than those from ELDS. As far as d school is concerned, Oyo state is only a host state. Take it as a fact.

44. Presidential pardon for t(c)hief Alamieyeseigha

His name is Yemi Osinbajo (with “n” please)


He is so relatively new to the public eye that we don’t even know his correct surname. We know him as Yemi, quite all right. But is it Yemi Osinbajo? Perhaps Osinbajo? Or even Osinbanjo? His name has been misspelt by the media for the past 15 years and there is no indication that he has ever tried to correct it. There you have the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC): self-effacing and relatively new to the political fray. Indeed, there are not many pictures to choose from when you google his name! To his credit, though, all searches for “Osinbajo” and “Osinbajo” lead to him. Some consolation there. The Punch has been alternating between Osinbajo and Osinbajo. THISDAY, , TheCable and Premium Times seem fascinated with Osinbajo. Ynaija wrote Osinbajo in one headline and Osinbajo towards the end of the story. The Nation, which should know him very well, is sure it is Osinbajo. To know more about him, here are a few facts on the intellectual and public speaker. His name is Yemi Osinbajo (with “n” please) Memorise it – you may need it later. O-S-I-N-B-A-J-O. That is eight letters. TheCable has been obsessed with “Osinbajo” for no known reason, but this erratum should call its editors to order henceforth. The meaning of his name is not easily accessible to the younger Yoruba generation. All they will tell you is that OSIN is a water bird and AJO is a journey. Now to connect the two and make sense out of it is left to the older generation. TheCable refuses to hazard a meaning, but Osinbajo’s well-wishers will certainly hope his journey to Aso Rock will be as smooth as OSIN sailing on water. In his native Ijebu, one of the oldest and most distinct dialects of the Yoruba language, OSIN could also refer to a “child” and Osinbajo (Osin bo lati ajo) could then be interpreted to mean a child has returned from a journey ─ a good sign that all went well. In that case, his well-wishers would be hoping that his journey into politics will be worth the while and they will have every reason to rejoice when he ends his national service. We hope Osinbajo himself will take time, when he is less busy, to explain the meaning of his name to us for our education. Everybody who got it wrong should, however, be forgiven: Osinbajo is but a new “kid” on the block. He has been limited to the intellectual and ecclesiastical circles since he left government in 2007. After all, we are still struggling with spelling the names of more visible Nigerians such as Alamieyeseigha, Diezani and Imoukhuede. Even some Igbo would rather call the finance minister Ngozi Okonji-Iweala than Okonjo-Iweala. And the governor of Benue state was called Gabriel Suswan for ages until people finally agreed that even if a swan swam for a million miles, Gabriel’s surname would still be SUSWAM. And Ghaddafi? Oh no, let’s not go there.

He is a “blue blood”

No, no. Not what you are thinking. He is married to the house of Obafemi Awolowo, arguably the greatest Yoruba politician ever and a distinguished public administrator described by the late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu as “the best president Nigeria never had”. Oludolapo, his wife and mother of his three children, is a granddaughter of the late sage. What else? Yemi is from Ogun state originally, but he served Lagos as commissioner and is therefore also from Lagos. What more? His brother, Akin, was the attorney-general of Ogun state from 2003-2007, the first and only time two blood brothers are known to have held commissionerships in different states at the same time. What again? Akin and Yemi look so much alike, but we must now reveal that one is shorter and has a smaller build than the other. Guess who.

He is a SAN

Yes, he is a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), but what do else do you expect a man who has taught and practised law all his adult life? He studied law at the University of Lagos (1978) and got a master’s from the London School of Economics and Political Science (1980). He was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Nigeria in 1979. The professor of law was the head of department of public law at the University of Lagos (1997-1999). He is a member of the International Bar Association and the British Institute of International and Comparative Law and has served in the Nigerian Body of Benchers and the Council for Legal Education of Nigeria. I almost forgot to say he is the senior partner at SimmonsCooper Partners, a law firm, where he earns his living.

He is an author

Aso Rock is not the right place to author books ─ you are too busy to do that. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo just launched a three-part book made up of over 1000 pages, but you have to realise he left office over seven years ago. It has taken seven years to release a book brimming with acid and poison. Osinbajo has been writing his own intellectual books, not memoirs, which are more difficult. He may be an author but he will not be doing that in the presidential villa for now. Some of the books he has written or contributed to or edited are: “Nigeria’s Treaties in Force”, “Nigerian Media Law”, “The Unification and Reform of the Nigerian Criminal Law and Procedure Codes”, “Law Development and Administration”, “The Annotated Civil Procedure Rules of The Superior Courts in Nigeria”, “Cases and Materials on Nigerian Law of Evidence” and “Cross Examination: A Trial Lawyer’s Most Potent Weapon”. If he decides to write his memoirs after leaving office, be sure you won’t get much of a bile. He is a gentleman.



He is a pastor

There must be something about Buhari and lawyer-pastors. In 2011, he picked Tunde Bakare, founder of the Latter Rain Assembly, as his running mate. Bakare is also a lawyer. This time, he has picked Osinbajo, who pastors the Olive Tree House of Prayer for All Nations, Banana Island, a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. And do we really have to repeat the part that Osinbajo is a lawyer too?

He is ermmm… a politician

He is no Bola Tinubu or Rotimi Amaechi, so you will be reluctant to call him a politician. And for someone who has never contested an election before, now it is pretty difficult to call him a politician. But he has been very much involved in politics. He was special adviser to Bola Ajibola, the attorney general of Nigeria from 1988-1992, and he himself was appointed attorney-general and commissioner for justice of Lagos state from 1999 to 2007.

He is an “international figure”

He circulates frequently on the international scene. I must add: unlike Buhari. He is the ethics advisor to the advisory board of the African Development Bank. He has served in various roles within the United Nations, United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations, the United Nations African Institute for Crime Prevention, the International Criminal court for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania, the department of Peacekeeping operations and the United Nations Peace Operations in Somalia.


He is a ‘public servant’ and public speaker

He is a ‘public servant’ and public speaker Osinbajo is co-founder and board member of the Convention on Business Integrity and the Justice Research Institute Ltd. In 2007, Prof. and his wife Oludolapo founded The Orderly Society Trust, a non-governmental organisation dedicated to the promotion of Christian ethics and orderliness. And, well, he does a lot of things pro-bono. He is also a public speaker and a well-coveted one at that.

Irony

adegwurulez: its not about past achievements, its about present form

The fact that "He was in the list of 33 best football players of the championship of Russia : 2012/13" tells us about his present form. I think the problem is not with the player but with the way he is used here. We can also say same of Mikel of some years back if we place his performance in the super eagles and at Chelsea side by side.

jhidey08: I want 2c him in d world cup, he is wasteful tho, bt he is very very industrous, businesslyk, he doesn't play on d pitch unlyk Moses. He is jst lyk Roma's Gervinho, dey'll do everything ryt bt finishing dier work alwys let dem down.

I quite agree with u though but I think the big boss Keshi could harness the various talents of this player and use him rightly. He's got speed, sharp reflex which is typical of goalkeepers and perfect ball control. So far, he has been playing as a winger. Maybe he could function better elsewhere.

Though, many would argue contrariwise, It could be said that Ahmed Musa has always been a great player not only in the Nigerian team but also at his Club. At various times, he had gotten accolades from various quarters. With his achievements in the past and those of the recent years, onw might need to take a closer look at the player. The following were gotten from his profile on wikipedia.com. Excerpts:

-He was in the list of 33 best football players of the championship of Russia : 2012/13.

-Musa was included by FIFA in shortlist of 10 candidates for the Adidas Golden Ball, which was awarded to the most outstanding player of the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

-In the 2009–10 season where he set the league record with 18 goals as Pillars finished second. Musa previously held the record for the highest goals ever scored in one season in the history of the Nigeria Premier League until November 2011 when Jude Aneke of Kaduna United F.C. set a new goals record of 20 goals.

-He was rated by Goal.com amongst the Hot 100 young football stars in the world to watch in 2011, Lolade Adewuyi for Goal.com put him on the list of Top Ten Nigerian International Players of 2010 and was also included in IFFHS list of the best 140 players in the world.

-In August 2011, Musa represented the Nigeria national under-20 football team in the U-20 World Cup held in Colombia, where he scored three goals in five matches.


On 7 December 2011, Ahmed Musa was one of the four nominees named for the Confederation of African Football Most Promising Talent Award, however the award went to Tottenham Hotspur's Souleymane Coulibaly.

On 8 March 2011, Ahmed Musa won the AIT footballer of the year award (national). The ceremony was held at the Presidential Hotel, Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The event had in attendance, BBC African Footballer of the Year winner, Ghanaian Asamoah Gyan and the top officials from the Nigerian football federation including the president Aminu Maigari.

On 1 May 2011, Musa hit a brace to sink Feyenoord 3–2 and end any lingering fears of automatic relegation from the Eredivisie.

In August 2011, after returning from the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia, Musa made his first appearance of the 2011/2012 season at home against AFC Ajax and scored two goals.

In April 2011 Ahmed Musa was included in the Nigerian U-20 squad to represent Nigeria in the AYC world cup qualifiers, even though VVV Venlo had declared him unavailable for the tournament due to club commitments. After some intense negotiations with the Nigerian Federation, VVV Venlo and Musa's representatives it was agreed that Musa will shuttle between the Netherlands and South Africa to participate in the tournament with the national team. After the opening game against defending champions Ghana, Musa won the (MVP) most valuable player award hosted by samsung and boarded the next flight back to the Netherlands..

What else can we call this but Patriotism? One would see patriotism in Musa everywhere even at his club side. Musa carries the Nigerian colour everywhere he goes. This is evidenced in the use of handbands, mufflers amongst others. The picture below where he uses handband with Nigerian colour on CSKA Moscow's jersey testifies to this fact.
