Nigerians Attack Femi Adesina Again on Twitter After He Said Buhari Will Appoint Ministers At The 'Fullness Of Time'

The Special Adviser to President Mohammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina in an interview with Vanguard today said Buhari will appoint Ministers into his government at the 'fullness of time'

"The appointment of Ministers is constitutional because the constitution prescribes that there must be a Minister from at least one state of the federation and President Mohammdu Buhari will do what is constitutional. So, he will constitute a cabinet. But then when he does it is his prerogative. He is the one who will determine when he needs that cabinet. But for now, he has said that he wants to lay a proper foundation for the administration and that’s why he has been working with bureaucrats; the various Permanent Secretaries.

I Will Have To Vet My Ministers Before Appointing Them – Pres.Buhari

Speaking to newsmen during the AU Summit in South Africa yesterday, president Buhari said he doesn't know why people are anxious about ministers, saying he's yet to appoint them because his predecessor’s transition committee submitted its report on the previous administration to him late.

“I don’t know why people are so anxious about ministers. But eventually we will have (them). But the main reason is that I have an interim committee which I agreed with the former President Jonathan that the ministers of the outgoing government should hand over their notes or their documents to this interim committee so that a position can be prepared for the new government to start from with clear records from ministers.
