Festus Odimegwu must have done something fantastic to have ingratiated himself to the Buhari Campaign Organization hence his nomination

The fact that he even lambasted Jonathan administration 2weeks before the election made me feel he knows how sure the chances of Gen Buhari was at the polls hence his all out attack against Jonathan

Now his calculations has paid off..........

The same Festus and his comments on censuses....

Ah well....keep your friends close...

I don't see any Igbo name on that list.

this is actually a good start!! ***on high expectations**** can't wait for may 29. to see wat d new govt has in stock

IbnSultaan:
A disagreement has broken out between the transition
committees of President Goodluck Jonathan and
General Muhammadu Buhari as the president accused
the Buhari team of acting like a parallel government
and trying to stampede the Jonathan administration out
of office.

To stampede the jonathan administration out of ofifce.....na cattle dem be?i no fit laugh

Good. May Almighty Allah guide them and assist them on their mission.

Are u sure you are not malfunctioning? I'm an ardent supporter of GMB but that doesn't mean I should not tackle his actions.

alaoeri:
Make una compare & contrast GMB allies with that of the out going drunken master, the different is clear this will definitely usher in a new Nigeria.

In a country that has the intelligent likes of your parents, a drunken master became a president!

agabusta:
Finally... Nice team. But what role will Chairman Oyegun serve on the committee? His presence on the committee doesn't make sense to me. Why is GMB leaving the VP elect lounging instead of deploying him to Chair this committee?

very good question

IbnSultaan:
http://thenationonlineng.net/new/buhari-inaugurates-transition-committee/

Quality and Accuracy very important.

Mr Wale Edun nt chief

seunmsg:
the committee is also saddled with reviewing and making preliminary assessment of the balance sheet of government with particular emphasis on the status of assets and liabilities of government; cash flow position of the government; quantum of public domestic and external debt of government and their deployment; government’s out-standing contractual obligations and its ability to meet such obligations and the status of implementation of capital projects.

Looking at this extracted part of the committee's term of reference, it's very obvious why the Jonathan Administration is not comfortable with the terms of reference. They are scared all of a sudden that the committee is about to find out the true financial position of the federal government. And again, the committees findings will prevent any last minute perfection of documents or cover up. It's really game over for the GEJ government.

Yu PD.Pigs think GMB is clueless,slowpoke,a drunk cowboy who will sign a handover note with proper verification?

No wonder your parents are object of ridicule , oloshi with this your statements, does it means that the most intelligent folks are the president in all countries? Ode.

KUNZEH:
nice one! GMB my hero,fashola my role model.

temitemi1 come and learn from this man. And stop fumbling.

Where's that noisemaking Kayode Fayemi....

Why did you ask of Fayemi? Is it compulsory that he must be on the list? In case you don't know he's on his missions to the Uk.

billyG:

I no get your gist ooo

My only exception in this list is fetus odumegwu and my reason is that he is always controversial and in romance with almost all government in power.

...GEJ does not have enough vocabulary in his dictionary in expressing himself,hence the words parallel government crops up. You can't have a parallel government while there is a President-elect...
