<b>After weeks of consultation and character evaluation, President-elect General Muhammadu Buhari has finally short-listed 18 persons across Nigeria’s six geo-political zones, who will make up his transition committee ahead of the May 29 handover date.</b><br />
<br />
Although the transition committee to be headed by Mallam Ahmed Joda will be made up of three persons from each of the six geo-political zones, sources said the South-west however has more representation (four persons) indicating the weight and influence of its leader in the zone, Senator Bola Tinubu.<br />
<br />
The sources further hinted that apart from Buhari who decided the choice of persons selected across the zones, Tinubu also had a major and significant input in the list, in addition to also exceeding the regional quota of three persons per zone.<br />
<br />
The committee which, according to sources, will be inaugurated on Monday or sometime next week comes with terms of reference for members, chief of which is liaising with members of the committee put together by the Jonathan administration for smooth handover.<br />
<br />
Apart from Joda, who has been selected as the Chairman and Dr. Doyin Salami (SW) as Vice-chairman, the committee also has Mallam Adamu Adamu (NW) as its Secretary.<br />
<br />
Other members of the committee according to an exclusive document made available to <b><a href="http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/ahmed-joda-heads-buharis-18-man-transition-committee/207718/">THISDAY </a></b>are:<br />
<ol>
<li>Mr. Boss Mustapha, - NE</li>
<li>Mallam Muhammad Hayatuddin, - NE </li>
<li>Alhaji Abubakar Malami (SAN), - NE</li>
<li>Dr. Tam David-West, - SS</li>
<li>Governor Rotimi Amaechi, - SS</li>
<li>Chief John Oyegun, - SS</li>
<li>Mr. Festus Odimegwu, - SE</li>
<li>Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, - SE</li>
<li>Mrs. Nike Aboderin, - SW</li>
<li>Mr. Wale Edun, - SW</li>
<li>Mrs. Bola Adesola, - SW</li>
<li>Barrister Solomon Dalong, - NC</li>
<li>Chief Audu Ogbeh, - NC</li>
<li>Senator Hadi Sirika, - NW and                              </li>
<li>Brig-General Lawal Jafaru Isa. - NW</li>
</ol>
Aside liaising with government’s committee, the terms of reference also includes studying and working on the handover notes preparatory to May 29.<br />
<br />
Other terms include designing the blueprint that would assist the Buhari government take off smoothly with a clear understanding of the challenges at hand.<br />
<br />
Responding to the calibre of persons likely to make up his transition committee a few weeks ago, Buhari told <b>ThisDay</b> in an interview: “We have started discussing about it. Personally, I will make sure that it is not too big because if it is big, they will start thinking of how to influence the choice of ministers either for themselves or those they want to be ministers.<br />
<br />
“But my hope and my idea is to get knowledgeable and experienced technocrats that are really patriotic to study the handing over notes by ministries and make recommendations. I want them to be completely detached people who are patriotic Nigerians; who are knowledgeable and experienced.”<br />

<b>Senator Hope Uzodinma of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been arrested for thumb-printing ballot papers at a private residence during the gubernatorial election rerun in Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State.</b><br />
<br />
Arrested alongside Mr. Uzodinma were his uncle and elder sister.<br />
<br />
However, while his uncle and sister were detained, Mr. Uzodimma was released on personal recognition.<br />
<br />
A top police source involved in providing security in the area told <b><a href="http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/182070-imo-election-senator-hope-uzodinma-of-pdp-relatives-arrested-for-fraud.html">PREMIUM TIMES</a></b> that soon after his release, Mr. Uzodinma’s supporters in the area set bonfires on the road to prevent the police from taking his relations away.<br />
<br />
The police had to call for reinforcement from the army and officials of the secret police, the State Security Service before the bonfires and hoodlums were cleared and his relations carted away to be detained in the state capital, Owerri.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rerun election in the local government was almost marred by pockets of violence and irregularities.<br />
<br />
At Oru East Local Government Area, which has majority of the Polling Units where rerun election were held, some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were caught thumb-printing ballot papers in favour of one of the political parties.<br />
<br />
Also arrested were fake INEC officials who posed as Returning Officers at the collation centre.<br />
<br />
The Edo State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mike Igini, who was among the INEC team deployed for the election, said the INEC officials were arrested at Umumma primary school Ward 10 Polling Unit 008, Polling Unit 003 and three others.<br />
<br />
“Myself accompanied by the Assistant Inspector General of Police and Commissioner of Police have arrested poll officials in Oru East involved in mass thumb-printing and are now taken to Owerri.<br />
<br />
“Upon my suspicion, an imposter, who claimed to be lNEC staff without proof, acting as a presiding officer, l ordered his arrest and it was effected by the Police”.<br />
<br />
At Ozuh-Omuma, an agent of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bernars Nwaokoro, was shot by thugs and the ballot box of his unit hijacked.<br />
<br />
Also, one Rex Anunobi was kidnapped from his home but was rescued by a team of Policemen led by one of the visiting Assistant Inspector Generals of Police to the state.<br />

Nigerians May Start Stoning Buhari In Six Months - Apostle Suleiman

<br />
<b>Shortly after defending why his prophecies on the General elections failed to come to pass, Apostle Suleiman in an interview with <i><a href="http://www.punchng.com/feature/hotseat/i-personally-told-jonathan-to-concede-defeat-apostle-johnson-suleman/">The Punch</a></i> made a disturbing statement concerning the president elect, Muhammadu Buhari.</b><br />
<br />
“Let me say this to you. In the next six months, people may stone Buhari. The reason I’m saying this is because the expectation is too high.<br />
<br />
"Nigerians expect Buhari to put gold on their tables. Two, the large chunk of followership Buhari has are youths and young people and they are impatient. Young people don’t believe in progressive change, they want change.<br />
<br />
"When they say change, they see a new picture. And Buhari has been talking from the two sides of the mouth. During campaign, he told us Boko Haram would be a thing of the past. Now, you are President-elect, you are saying people shouldn’t expect a miracle. Are you a pastor? If I wanted a miracle worker, won’t I bring a Mallam or a miracle worker?<br />
<br />
"When you were being voted for, we were not voting for a pastor, so don’t tell us about miracles. Like I said, Jonathan will be seen as a hero very soon because that’s the Nigerian story. Anybody who they feel is not doing well, get him out. The next few minutes, they miss this person. If by September, there is still a blink in power, people will start abusing Buhari. You said you were going to do this.<br />
<br />
"Two, who are Buhari’s footmen, the large chunk are ex-PDP people and of course you know, many are still defecting. Nigerian politicians are the most shameless people (I know); they can’t bear hunger. They are defecting now to lobby for offices. If you should check the people around the man, it gives you an idea of where the man is heading. If you check the agenda, listen to their campaign, it wasn’t about issues, it was about personality. Change this man! And I wanted us to talk about what the issues are, brainstorm to make things better.<br />
<br />
"I heard he had a five-hour meeting behind closed doors with President Jonathan. He has now seen the reality of how deep the issues are and it has now dawned on him that the man sitting there was actually managing to survive. That is one thing about leadership. When the ball is passed to you, you realise it’s deeper than you think. So I do not see change in Nigeria. The only change I see is we have a breath of fresh air, a new government. To say there will be instant change in Nigeria, I doubt. We are praying as Christians and believers. It doesn’t matter what the enemy is trying to do in Nigeria, as believers, we know that the will of God will be done", he stated.<br />
