Jonathan’s Transition Committee members has many questionable names – APC

Mr. Shehu Garba, director of media and communication for the All Progressives Congress Congress, APC, Campaign Organisation, has condemned the composition of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Transition Committee.

He said the team is made of untrustworthy people who represent the ‘worst of our prejudices.’

His words: “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 tensions 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’.

“Some names on that list have certainly made the eyes pop out of their sockets. In the President’s list, you have men and women who reflect the worst of our prejudices; men and women who have made themselves the mouthpieces for everything regressive.

“This is one reason why President Buhari and his party cannot be too careful on choosing who they will give their part of the assignment to.

“There is no room for complacency in doing this either. Nothing that puts the new government at a risk should be allowed to happen.”
