The Federal Government has warned President Elect, General Mohammadu Buhari(rtd.) to avoid creating a parallel government while the government is still on.
Minister of National Planning, Abubakar Sulaiman made this statement at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting held in Abuja on Wednesday.
Suleiman said “We did receive from the incoming government’s transition committee some terms of reference which we looked at critically and council did agree that the President remains the current head of government of this country.
“The incoming government should avoid creating a parallel government while the government is still on.
“We take exception to some utterances and some of the terms of reference that look as if the current government is being stampeded or intimidated.
“Council frowned on most of the statements, most of the provocations and council members are advised to work in line with the terms of reference of the current government.
“Council members are also told that the terms of reference as formatted by our transition committee should be strictly complied with.
“When the incoming government takes over government, they can come out with their programmes; they can come out with their own agenda and they can decide to come out with policies in the way they feel like.
“This government remains resolute to the various programmes and projects it is pursuing and it will continue to do that until the morning of May 29.”
