Buhari appoints Tunde Bakare to head Transition Committee

The President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari has appointed the General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare to head his transition committee.

The Bakare-led transition committee is expected to work with a similar committee appointed by the out-going president Goodluck Jonathan.

Bakare was Buhari’s running mate during the 2011 general elections.

Buhari at the weekend had hinted that only credible Nigerians would make up the transition committee, as part of the first steps to chart an entirely new path for the country.
