Jonathan and Buhari

By Ben Agande, Abuja.
The President Jonathan and president Elect, Muammadu Buhari’s transition committees Monday met again in Abuja with a strong denial that there was a rift between them.

The committees, headed by Vice President Namadi Sambo for the out going government and  Ahmed Joda for the in coming government have been at each others neck with the  All Progressives Congress  recently accusing  the Presidency of not cooperating with the Joda-led committee, an allegation denied by the Namadi Sambo-led committee.

Alhaji  Joda who led some members of his committee to meet with the Namadi Sambo committee told state House correspondents that  his committee had been getting all necessary cooperation from the outgoing government.

He denied ever complaining that there was no cooperation from the out going government’s committee.
“Our committee has never said to anybody that there is no cooperation. We have never said that and we are waiting for the reports, until when they come” he said.
