National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Lai Mohammed, on Thursday said that President Muhammadu Buhari will soon release his ministerial list.
Speaking with journalists in Oro, Kwara State, Mohammed commended Nigerians for their patience and perseverance over the delay in the appointments of ministers.
He recalled that when transition in government took place within the then ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), ministerial appointments were usually made two weeks after inauguration.
''The concern of Nigerians over the delay in the release of ministerial appointments is genuine. But the fact is that this is the first time in the history of Nigeria that the opposition party will take over government from the ruling party. Our plan was to interface and interact with the outgoing government, but it didn’t just work out so the party set up transition committee which later presented 800 pages of handover documents to Mr. President''.
''So, in this kind of situation we found ourselves, we have to be thorough in making appointments because Nigerians’ expectations are very high and it’s understandable''.
''So, in a couple of days the ministerial cabinet list would be made available and it would be a thing of the past. We might be slow, but in reality when we make the right appointments, we will make up for all the shortcoming Nigerians have been complaining about''.
