After a long wait riddled with speculations and a lot
of screenings and the lot. Well we hope the outcome
will be worth the wait!
Baring last minute change, President Muhammadu
Buhari may likely unveil his long-awaited cabinet this
week.
The President has been facing public criticisms,
especially from the opposition over his refusal to name
his ministers three months after assuming office.
The president has been calling on Nigerians to bear
with him till the end of this month to enable him pick
credible persons who will work with him.
However, latest report available to me.
indicates that the Department of State Services is done
with the screening and the ministerial nominees might
likely emerge this week.
A top presidency source hinted that the delay in the
release of the ministers might not be unconnected with
the fact that some persons were found wanting during
the exercise.
“President Buhari is a just man who wants to get his
things right. He was careful enough not to appoint
anyone who might disgrace or dent his hard-earned
name and reputation. The major reason for the delay
was because some persons earlier nominated failed the
DSS screening.
“The president believes that it is better to have the list
late than to come out with some persons that would
disgrace his government,” the source said.
Asked when the list would be finally unveiled, the
source who would not want his name in print said
before Friday.
“I can assure you that before Friday the ministerial
nominees would be unveiled. The DSS is done with the
screening as we speak”, he said.
On whether the list circulating in the media was truly
those that might make Buhari’s cabinet, the source
hinted, “you should be careful not to swallow
everything you see. There are several names
circulating on the social media but I urge you to wait
until the president makes it public.”
