Buhari’s ministerial list ready, gets to Senate Wed

The list of ministerial-nominees, to constitute the cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari, is ready.
The Senate may get a letter from the President, requesting the confirmation of the nominees on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Buhari, who was inaugurated the President on May 29, had promised to name members of his cabinet in September.

He had at different times said he was in search of Nigerians with integrity to be part of his team that would reposition the country.

There has been anxiety that the President may not be able to meet the September deadline as he was quoted recently as saying that the month was running to an end too fast for his liking.

There are indications, however, emerged that Buhari, who is currently attending the 70th United Nations General Assembly in New York, had concluded work on the list.
The list may be presented to the Senate before October 1.
While reacting to a report on an online medium that Buhari had sent one of his National Assembly Liaison Officers, Senator Ita Enang, back to Nigeria with the list meant for the Senate, presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, told reporters in New York on Monday that he would not be surprised if the list was ready.
He said it was within the timeline given by the President himself.
“I will not be surprised if the list is ready because it is within the timeline that the President gave. He said he will name his cabinet in September. Today (Monday) is September 28, so if it happens that it is ready, it is within the timeline,” Adesina said.
When asked to give an insight into the number of nominees on the list, the presidential spokesman simply said, “The constitution already gives you an idea of the number of people that can be on the cabinet because it stipulates that we must have at least one minister per state.”
