Bola Tinubu, president-elect, has nominated Atiku Bagudu,
governor of Kebbi state, as one of his representatives on the presidential
transition council (PCT).
The president-elect also nominated Olawale Edun, a board
member of the ministry of finance incorporated (MOFI).
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, Boss
Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) and chairman of
the council, said the nominees of Tinubu have since joined the “transition
process”.
“The presidential transition council which was inaugurated
on February 24 is made up of 24 members which include two persons from the
president-elect’s team,” NAN quoted him as saying.
“After the
declaration of His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the president-elect, the
PTC requested him to nominate his representatives on the council as provided in
the executive order.
“The president-elect nominated His Excellency, Atiku Bagudu,
the governor of Kebbi state, and chief Olawale Edun both of whom have since
joined the process actively.”
The SGF said the council is working to ensure that the
transition process is smooth.
“The transition
process is on course and all efforts are being made to ensure that it is smooth
and on May 29, there will be a peaceful, formal transfer of power to the new
president-elect,” Mustapha said.
President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to formally hand over
power to Tinubu on May 29.
