[quote author=ehissi post=33325157]I want to first of all say that I am a fan of Goodluck Jonathan (not the PDP) even though I know his administration is not without flaws; I want to also say that I am a Nigerian by birth, as well as a realist by Practice so as much as tensions may rise or sentiments may be tenderly stroke by my comments (Especially by "Some" fans of GMB I've come across who don't have any practical/sound reason for voting him aside from the fact that they hate Goodluck'/PDP's rule and are probably revelling in D pride of voting out a government - without considering that Goodluck chose personally not to go the way of OBJ and "Win" in a do or die fashion -Something I believe Buhari won't do- ) I will still proceed with it...........

I don't see anything that suggests parallel governance directly, (except there are some things that President Goodluck Govt doesn't want to go into over the Media with Buhari's TC to avoid overheating the polity or to avoid looking like sore a loser; or like some Nairalanders R already suggesting that GEJ doesn't want to handover).

In my own Opinion the Job of a Transition Committee, TC, is to ensure smooth change of Government. TC is not the government, and is not in a position to make demands on Mr President outside the mandate of smooth transition (and even this is by discretion and not law)..................

Please without sentiments, look at 2 of the Transition's Committee's terms of reference closely

"e. Suggest “quick fixes” which will result in tangible, visible and practical measures so that CHANGE will be seen after 30 days, after 100 days, after 6 months of the Administration taking office............

g. Report back to the President-elect in two weeks."

What has this question got to do with transition? Is it the Goodluck administration that will "suggest" the Changes U promised during election campaign? GMB is not yet president till he is sworn-in and is not in a position to make demands nor demand reports; abi is GEJ now his Minister?.......................


Lets assume this was a friendly/harmless and innocent/honest question/mistake made by members of the Buhari TC who may have no experience in Executive governance - just like Buhari's Aide's tried to place a press ban on AIT in error based on security/ethical concerns- !!!


Let's look at something else that makes me feel tempted to think that Buhari - given his Military background and tenure as former head of state- wasn't aware of his transition's committee's demands......................A look at the terms of reference shows two terms label C (Probably an error in copying and paste); let's look at what the second C says......And please without sentiments........

"c. Under-take a preliminary assessment of the security challenges facing the country and the

(1). Counter-insurgency measures taken by the government thus far.

(2). Counter policy measures being implemented in the Niger Delta to deal with unrest and major economic crimes in the area. In particular, the status of the Amnesty Programme.

(3). Readiness of the Police and other national security and intelligence agencies in addressing threats to law and order"


Please, what has this got to do with Transition!!?? Where is the Buhari's Transition Committee within the framework of the 1999 constitution that will warrant the Govt/Presidency on ground, to be discussing security matters at the Highest level to non-entities (with due respect to the constitution, the same one that determined the rule by which U contested elections and were declared winner).....................


The Job of the outgoing Administration in ensuring Smooth transition (which is not defined anywhere in Law really but its just basic practice guided by common sense) is to ensure that handover notes are prepared before swearing-in.

It is the Job of the In-coming administration to make assessments concerning readiness or otherwise based on the review of the handover notes of each Minister/Cabinet member/outgoing administration (and even this is done right after they R sworn-in).

The New president's first Job after addressing the Nation is to demand for handover notes on his table within 2weeks (if he is lenient 3months and then thereafter dissolve cabinet and re-appoint ministers with support from the senate to fill up his cabinet); This is done after he is sworn-in, he doesn't have right to ask for anything because he is not president till he sworn-in (This is the Standard practice everywhere in the world in established democracies).............

So U can see why the demand of Buhari's TC suggests parallel governance indirectly, as the demand made by GMB's TC is typical of a president right after swearing in and assumption of office; in any case, is it 2 weeks that you use to prepare handover notes and assessment for an entire cabinet? This is why some folks prefer to look at some APC party members as just trying to forment/promote Post-election blues and politics of bitterness

I observed the last time Obama was asked what the US government was planning to do concerning certain security threats in the Middle east in a sensitive way, he started his answer thus "As President, I am not accustomed to discussing security matters in a room filled with a bunch of people....."

I have no problems with The "Terms of Reference" from Letter A to the first C as that is typical of a transition committee; My problem is with the Second C down to the end. If I receive this as a minister in a cabinet from a "President-elect", I will go to my President, confirm if he is aware and respectfully decline.................................................Please carefully look once more at items in the terms of reference labelled second C down to the end and understand my logic and U will see that D TC is just either naïve or just trying to provoke the Cabinet on ground in continuation of the election hostilities; what has these points got to do with a transition for the love of truth and sincerity?.............

"c. Under-take a preliminary assessment of the security challenges facing the country and the

(1). Counter-insurgency measures taken by the government thus far.

(2). Counter policy measures being implemented in the Niger Delta to deal with unrest and major economic crimes in the area. In particular, the status of the Amnesty Programme.

(3). Readiness of the Police and other national security and intelligence agencies in addressing threats to law and order

d. Provide a brief over-view of CBN, NNPC, NCC, Customs and FIRS.

e. Suggest “quick fixes” which will result in tangible, visible and practical measures so that CHANGE will be seen after 30 days, after 100 days, after 6 months of the Administration taking office.

f. Make any other observations which in view of the Committee would be helpful to the transition and take-off of the new Administration.

g. Report back to the President-elect in two weeks."

I rest my case...........[/quin ote] thanks for the clear analysis

Nigerians forget too quickly I thought APC Campaigned against current government with this same issues they said they have d solutions. Mind u, they're always on social media to run their propaganda. APC already derailing
