Some members of the House of Representatives have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to publish the handover note he received from former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Apparently to put the records straight on the state of the country’s treasury, the House of Representatives yesterday prayed President Muhammadu Buhari to publish the handover notes he received from his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan in the Federal Government’s gazette.
The lawmakers’ demand was prompted by a motion moved by Uzom Nkem-Abonta who lamented that the handover note was being held in secrecy as only the Presidency had access to the document. Abonta, however remarked that “some extant laws may place restrictions on the publication of the document” even though it remains a public document.
The lawmaker argued that the “handover note would certainly have captured the activities, projects, programmes, achievements and constraints of the last administration, including counsel to the new administration on the way forward.”
President Buhari had on assumption of office, claimed that he inherited an empty treasury from Jonathan. His comment attracted reactions from key officials in the Jonathan administration and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which declared that the former President left $32billion in the coffers. Abonta argued that the publication of the handover note would help the legislators, especially new members and other Nigerians have genuine information on the state of the economy and monitor activities of the Buhari administration.
