Addressing State House correspondents after the meeting of the council, Gov. Gabriel Suswam of Benue disclosed that the approval of the template was meant to ensure uniformity in subsequent transitions in the country.

“The Council decided that henceforth there has to be a template that successive transitions will follow. We never had it, this is the first time that one is going to be developed so that subsequently there is no speculation as to what needs to be done, everything is in a template.
