In a bid to ensure a smooth transition programme on May 29, President
Goodluck Jonathan has commenced wide consultations among stakeholders
in the country.
Accordingly, the president yesterday paid a private visit to former minister of defence, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, at his residence in Abuja.
After the meeting, Danjuma described Jonathan’s decision to concede defeat to Buhari as un-African and said the president had set a record in the history of the country.
Although the agenda of the meeting was not known as the two spoke behind closed doors, LEADERSHIP gathered that it was one of the private consultations the president had been holding with stakeholders in preparation for the transfer of the mantle of leadership to the incoming All Progressives Congress (APC).
Following his loss at the March 28 presidential and National Assembly polls, President Jonathan met with the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, at the Presidential Villa last Friday to discuss issues of transition.
Speaking after the closed-door meeting, Danjuma said: “The outcome of the election and the manner in which President Jonathan conceded victory to Buhari is totally un-African; it is very important in the history of Africa.
“President Jonathan has set a history, a record to be emulated by the rest of Africa and, indeed, the whole world. It’s an excellent thing he did.
“I am confident that we would have a foul-free elections once the politicians campaign on issues not personalities and avoid anything capable of causing disaffection,” he said.
