The All Progressives Congress (APC) is accusing President Goodluck Jonathan of conducting “last minute dubious activities” as he prepares to hand over power to president-elect Muhammadu Buhari.
As a result, APC is threatening to probe the outgoing administration, Expdonaloaded blog reports.

Vice-President, has just approved the financial bid opening for
transaction advisers for the privatisation of the three development
finance institutions in the country – the Bank of Agriculture, Bank of
Industry and Nigeria Commodity Exchange. The question is: What is the
rationale for rushing this exercise with just weeks left for this
administration?
Also, there have been
reports, not refuted, of a planned hurried recruitment into the Nigeria
Immigration Service, after a previous attempt ended in a national
tragedy and the fleecing of innocent job seekers by mindless Federal
Government officials.

Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board is only
empowered to recruit, promote and discipline only senior officers
(levels eight and above). The power to recruit, promote and discipline
junior officers is vested in the different services, in this case the
Nigeria Immigration Service.
“Therefore,
the recruitment exercise now being conducted by the federal civil

Immigration Recruitment usurps the functions of the board as it relates
to the recruitment of Senior Officers (level 08) and that of the
immigration service as it relates to Junior Officers (levels 07
