President Muhammadu Buhari has queried why Nigerians are eager to have him name his cabinet, two weeks after he was sworn in as president of the country.
In an interview with AFP on the sidelines of the African Union summit in Johannesburg, Buhari addressed concerns he had not yet appointed a cabinet more than two weeks after he came to power following his victory in March polls.
“I don’t know why people are so anxious to have ministers, but eventually we will have,” he said.
Buhari said that audits were currently being carried out in various government departments — and the finance and petroleum ministries in particular — to try and establish what situation they were left in by the previous administration.
“I am not in a hurry to get ministers,” he said.
“I want to get ministers after at least I have seen this report, so that I don’t have to appoint a minister today and sack him next week,” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately most of the citizens are too dumb to realise how a proper change of administration should take place,they have been made bumber by years of PDP abuse and abracadabra governing methods and style.Sad some Nigerians can't still tell good from bad despite the state the last admin met and left the country

DeleteNigerians should be patient. We must trust Buhari with the leadership of Nigeria. He has the capability to deal ruthlessly with bad eggs.
ReplyDeleteI've not been a fan of any one but this is really Good. Ever since he took over i have seen signes of change to come. I hope it will happen and i will pray for him to perform.
ReplyDeleteThe only change you have seen is in your mind.
DeleteGod bless and guide you Baba Buhari, this shows the caliber of a man that you are.
ReplyDeleteOga stop all dis ur rubbish and start doing sometin
ReplyDeleteThis is an interest-group expectation, not the common man's expectation. Once you have Ministers, the wastage begins. Contracts are handed out left and right to friends, relatives and associates. The United States of America, the most economically developed country in the world has ten Ministries or less. Nigeria, a third world country has 36 and growing. Each ministry in Nigeria is an outlet of waste and corruption, not a planning tool.
ReplyDeleteSo he should supervise all Ministries himself?
DeleteI have said it time without number. Some Nigerians seems to forget easily, just because of their myopic understanding of governance ie GEJ.
ReplyDeleteNobody can stamped the General.
Please ladies & gentlemen leave our party alone. Do judge us when we might have spent the same number of years that your clueless Gej spent. Then you can compare and contrast.
Trust me the difference will speak volume. Gbam

ReplyDeleteYou were voted into power as the president as a supervisor for all Ministers.You can't do it all and you require the effort of minister to implement federal charaters, projects are suffering and you can have a minister while conducting audit.Buhari,we are aware that you are upright in character but not a politician.Country is corrupt and it does not deprived you putting your idears together to move our great county to the promised Land.
