President Goodluck Jonathan pre-empted the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) from challenging the President-elect Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s victory in
last Saturday’s election.
The Presidency will raise a
Transition Committee on Tuesday, Instead of planning a case for the Presidential
Election Petitions Tribunal.
Vice President-elect Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo is likely to head the All Progressives Congress (APC) team which will
join the committee ahead of the May 29 transition.
Ministers have started preparing
their handover notes, it was also learnt.
It was gathered that although some
PDP stalwarts wanted Buhari’s victory challenged at the tribunal, the President
thought otherwise.
The President, however, stood his
ground that he would rather stand by his statesmanship attitude than going to
tribunal.
Meanwhile, Ministers have started
compiling their handover notes, which will be part of the integral aspect of
the report of the transition committee.
