President Goodluck Jonathan will hand
over power to the President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.),
on May 28, about 24 hours before the actual inauguration date.
The Minister of Information, Patricia
Akwashiki, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of
the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja on Wednesday.
Akwashiki said Jonathan would perform the ceremony at a dinner on the eve of the May 29 Democracy Day.
She said, “By May 28, the President
intends to have the formal handover done at a dinner so that we can
reserve May 29 for the incoming government.
