Nigeria’s President-elect, General Muhammadu
Buhari, says no minister will be picked by governors
for the incoming administration.
General Buhari dropped the hint at the weekend in
Abuja.
He insisted that he will chose his ministers by
himself from the six geo-political zones, irrespective
of political party and without consulting the
Governors.
This is a clear departure from the tradition of the
Peoples Democratic Party, where governors are
asked to nominate ministerial appointees.
‘Promised To Tackle Corruption’
The incoming president, who will be inaugurated on
Friday, also gave an indication that he may not
continue subsidy in the petroleum sector.
General Buhari also promised to tackle corruption
and block the loopholes in the oil and gas sector as
soon as possible.
He had earlier said his Cabinet would be made up of
people with requisite experience and committed
technocrats.
The President-elect said his choice of Cabinet
members would stimulate the incoming
administration towards delivering good governance
that would meet the aspirations of Nigerians.
He also said his administration would give priority to
education, employment creation and security,
stressing that unemployment was the biggest threat
to Nigeria.
