A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mahmud Yayale Ahmed, has said government officials who served under President Goodluck Jonathan should not be allowed to leave the country until they have rendered proper accounts of their stewardship.

Yayale made the call while delivering a paper titled: “The 2015 Transition: Realities, Expectations and the Challenges” at the 31st convocation lecture of the Bayero University, Kano (BUK).

The former Defence Minister, who is the also pro-chancellor and chairman of council of the university, said the ex-officials should be kept in the country after Jonathan hands over to President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, on May 29.

“I want to inform you that whether there is proper briefing or not, the reality will become reality on May 29,” Yayale said.

"After they have taken over they will see where to ask questions and in what we call public accountability, nobody should be allowed to go without accounting for what is not there."

He urged Nigerians to support Buhari, instead of expecting him to do miracles.
