Buhari says OBJ more forthcoming with advice than GEJ

President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari says he regrets that the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has not been useful in providing any advice on how the incoming administration can effectively takeoff.

Garba Shehu, Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, said “Buhari regretted that the outgoing government that is supposed to give him tips on how to take off has done nothing so far”.

He stated this on Thursday when a committee from the Centre for Human Security of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, presented a five-point policy document to the president-elect at the Buhari Support Organisation office in Abuja.

Hours before the event which held behind closed doors, the APC insisted, that the Federal Government was not cooperating with the transition committee set up by the President-elect.

Garba added that the President-elect “thanked the Obasanjo initiative for the gesture, assuring the committee that his incoming administration will be needing advice as time goes on.”

Areas covered by committee in the document include the economy, security, power, education and infrastructure.

He said that Obasanjo had set up a think tank to carry out a study on the challenges facing the country in the five key areas.

The study, he added, was started four months ago “so that the outcome will be made available to the incoming administration after the election.”
