Lai Mohammed however explained that the delay
was basically caused by the transference of
government from one political party to the other.
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.
According to him, “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 party set up transition committee which later
presented 800 pages hand over documents to
mister 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”
Continuing, he said “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”.
He also decried the comment of the opposition
PDP on the performance rate of President Buhari
in 30 days in office saying, “the PDP is just
revelling in its new found roles of opposition,
they are entertaining themselves and Nigerians”
The APC. Spokesman who expressed the
determination of the ruling party to stamp out
corruption in order to fulfil it’s campaign
promises to Nigerians ,further noted that since
President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office
Nigerians all over the world are been gradually
respected because of the integrity of the
president.
