The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lai Mohammed on Thursday, July 2, 2015 said that President Muhammadu Buhari would be announcing his ministerial nominees in the next few days.
Speaking to newsmen in Oro, Kwara State, Mohammed acknowledged the fact that the President’s delay is hindering governance but said Nigerians should exercise patience.
He said: “The concern of Nigerians over the delay in the release of ministerial appointments is genuine. But the fact is that this is the first time in the history of Nigeria that the opposition party will take over government from the ruling party.”
“Our plan was to interface and interact with the outgoing government, but it didn’t just work out so party set up transition committee which later presented 800 pages hand over documents to mister president.
“So, in this kind of situation we found ourselves, we have to be thorough in making appointments because Nigerians expectations are very high and it’s understandable. So, in a couple of days the ministerial cabinet list would be made available and it would be a thing of the past.
“We might be slow, but in reality when we make the right appointments, we will make up for all the shortcoming Nigerians have been complaining about”.
