Special
Adviser to the President on Political Affairs, Prof. Rufai Ahmed has scolded the
All Progressives Congress, APC, over its recent utterances urging the
party to talk less and plan more as the nation moves towards the 29th May
inauguration date.
Reacting
to the alarm raised by the APC that President Jonathan is running the economy
aground before handing over, Professor Ahmed said “the allegation is
immature, reckless and out of tune with the President’s desire and patriotic
commitment to a peaceful transfer of power”.
He
noted that “by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President
Jonathan remains in office up to the 29th of May 2015 when he formally hands
over to the incoming President” The machinery of government cannot be put on
hold or frozen because the country is in transition,” he said.
On
the allegations that government is running the economy aground, Prof. Ahmed reminded
APC that “governance is a serious business. He further added that with the
sudden and unexpected concession of victory to them, it appears that the APC is
beginning to face the full reality of managing the great challenges of a
complex nation.
