The Federal Government inaugurated a 22-man Presidential Transition Council on February 14. According to Mustapha, the transition process is ongoing and will ensure a peaceful power transfer to the new president-elect.

Mustapha emphasized the importance of keeping Nigerians informed of developments and building inclusiveness to lay a solid bedrock for a peaceful transition of power in the country. The Presidential Transition Council comprises 24 members, including two persons from the President-Elect’s team.
