“May I use this opportunity to warn all those who may be tempted to do illegal last-minute transaction with the out-going government, particularly financial institutions which may result in further burdening the state with unsustainable liabilities that they will be doing so at their own peril,” he stated.

Ihedioha, who is also a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, also promised to set up a transition team in the coming days.

According to him, the committee will collaborate with the outgoing government to collate and collect information on the affairs of the state.
