A sharp disagreement has broken out between the transition committees of President Goodluck Jonathan and President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.

A report this evening in the online edition of Vanguard said “the president accused the Buhari team of acting like a parallel government and trying to stampede the Jonathan administration out of office.”

“Addressing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting Wednesday, the Minister of National Planning who is also a member of the Jonathan Transition Committee, Abubakar Suleiman said the Buhari transition team was making impossible demands from the government,” the report said.

Suleiman did not name the demands but “warned that the president’s magnanimity should not be construed as cowardice,” the report stated.
