President Goodluck Jonathan’s plan to form a government of national unity has suffered a setback even before the modalities for the arrangement are announced.
The two main opposition parties – the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) – yesterday said they would not join the government to be formed after May 29.
After being declared winner of the April 16 presidential election, President Jonathan called on the opposition to support him, saying he would form an all-inclusive government.
But ACN National Chairman Chief Bisi Akande said yesterday that ideological differences with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not allow his party to join forces with the President.
