Jonathan Will Handover May 29 Not May 28th - Minister Of Information

Minister of Information, Senator Patricia Akwashiki, today April 22, 2015 that President Jonathan will hand over power to General Muhammad Buhari, Nigeria’s President on May 29th as against May 28th. Speaking to press men after the Federal Executive Council meeting today April 22nd, Minister Akwashiki said: 

"In the council today, the discussion was still centered on transition. I have to make a little clarification because some people thought I said May 28 will be handover date. I never said that. I said May 28 will be the last day that we will have our handing over briefs by ministries and parastatals. I said from the 28th of this month to that date has been given to departments and ministries to submit their hand over notes. 
I remember somebody asked if there will be no vacuum if there is handover on May 28 and I replied that there will be no handing over on May 28. Handing over and inauguration will hold on May 29. The President is not handing over power on May 28, he is handing over power on May 29. We have started the transition and it is ongoing. We are submitting our handover notes to the Office of the SGF. The President is still the President until May 29 when Gen. Buhari takes his oath of office and resumes as the President of the Federal Republic.”she said
