Jonathan Is Setting Traps For Buhari

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of setting traps for the incoming administration of General Muhammadu Buhari, through appointments and the removal and immediate replacement of heads of strategic government parastatals.

“We are appalled and disappointed by this gale of appointments, sacks, and replacements by a go-slow President who was hitherto known for his inability to remove erring public officers and to replace ministers and heads of government agencies who either retired or resigned their appointments.

“The last-minute rush by President Jonathan to remove and replace heads of strategic government departments and agencies is therefore nothing but an attempt to set traps for the incoming Buhari Administration in the hope that reviewing these illegal actions would result in the loss of goodwill by the successor-administration.

“To us this rush of sacks and appointments apart from unnecessarily over-heating the polity is also distracting the incoming administration. We wonder why all these late sackings and appointments at the twilight of this administration that has caused our nation a lot of hardship which will take the administration of General Buhari much time and efforts to mitigate.

“We advise the incoming administration to reverse some of these vindictive sacks and unwarranted appointments aimed at planting mediocres that will undermine the lofty ideals of APC and present APC in bad light for the 2019 general elections. We should not accept this in the interest of both our great party and future of our dear nation.”

While urging Jonathan to concern itself with his handover notes and smooth transfer of power to Buhari and refrain from further acts of illegality, the APC chairman, Daviees Ikanya, commended the national leadership of the party for stopping the influx of members of the PDP into the APC.
