The Presidency on Monday said the immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, was responsible for President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s delay in forming his cabinet, upon being sworn in to office in 2015.<\/p>\n

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu claimed that the former president did not present handover notes to Buhari until 48 hours before his departure from power.<\/p>\n

Featuring on Channels Television\u2019s Sunrise Daily programme on Monday, Shehu said, \u201cThat President Buhari took 166 days to form a cabinet is absolutely untrue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took him time to form a cabinet because the outgoing administration in 2015 did not cooperate with the transition committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President was given handover notes 48 hours to the handover of power and for whatever reason, the President at that time determined that two governments would not operate at the same time.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
