For those that are
eager to hear President Muhammadu Buhari name his cabinet members, they will
have to tarry awhile because the President’s cabinet members may not be
announced until the end of August or early September.
A source very close to
the President told Punch on Sunday that Buhari would not form any cabinet until
the “rot left behind by the past administration” is cleared.
“Mr. President is
reluctant to build on a rotten foundation he inherited from the Peoples
Democratic Party administration. You cannot even begin to imagine the situation
we have met on the ground; almost everything is in a state of decay.
“There is absolutely no
way the new government can hope to achieve anything long-lasting without first
building a new foundation,” the source said.
The source added that
clearing the PDP rot was not a month’s job and said those that had been
heckling the President over lack of cabinet were politicians looking for jobs.
“They have tried doing
it other ways and those haven’t worked. They only want their cronies appointed
to ministerial posts anyhow and they are fuelling the agitation,” the source
said.
