Buhari to Fight Corruption before Appointing Ministers
Opeyemi Oladunjoye
The wait for ministerial appointments might not end soon according to the spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mallam Garba Shehu.
Stating that the task of delegating ministries is not a priority at the moment, Shehu said that the President is more concerned about eradicating insecurity and corruption from the
country.
He said: “As it is now, is there any lacuna? Are you thinking there is any gap that is not being covered by the bureaucrats? There is nothing that is not being covered. The Permanent Secretaries are part of the meetings. Nobody is saying that it is not important to make political appointments. He will make appointments.
“As he has said himself, he wants to scrutinize and make the right kind of appointment. He doesn’t want to appoint one today and make changes tomorrow. Given this war for the recovery of stolen funds, that will have implication for the people who are going to be appointed. If he appoints you today and may be in the drive, you are implicated, he will fire you.”
