Jonathan’s Transition Team Trickish – Shehu

Director, Media and Communication of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, (APCPCC), Garba Shehu, has described the transition committee, set up by President Goodluck Jonathan, as trickish.
The committee set up by Jonathan, who lost the March 28 presidential election, is expected to meet with that of the President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), ahead of the May 29 inauguration of the new administration.
But Shehu, in an opinion article, which he released on Sunday, said Jonathan’s committee was constituted by “the worst of our prejudices.”
He warned the Buhari-led incoming administration to be careful about its choice of people who would constitute its committee.
He stated, “The President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has earned an incredibly high amount of goodwill, following his acceptance of the outcome of the election, which, itself, had the effect of de-escalating tension not just among Nigerians but all over the continent.
“But the President’s committee on transition and handover looks to be a trickish one. It seems to be like one drawn to ‘massage’ the numbers and ensure safety for ‘Team Jonathan’.
