The Federal government on Wednesday clarified
that the dinner being organised for the president elect on May 28 is not meant
to be for a formal handover to president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, noting that
the May 29th hand-over date remains sacrosanct.
Making the clarification Wednesday, Minister
of Information, Patricia Akwashiki, said the dinner would still be hosted by
Jonathan for Buhari on May 28.
She hinted that the president-elect may be
honoured with an award during the dinner.
According to the minister, all hand over
briefs being coordinated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation
(SGF), Anyim Pius Anyim would be ready by May 28.
She assured contractors that there
entitlements would be settled noting that if there had been any slowing down of
projects by contractors, it could only be a result of non assent to the 2015
budget, and not because of fears of revocation.
On the sacking of Inspector-General of Police,
Suleiman Abba, just a few weeks to the hand over date, Akwashiki said it
remained the prerogative of the President to take such decision and he had done
what he felt should be done.
