Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, has said President Muhammadu Buhari will announce his cabinet very soon.
Buhari is yet to name new Ministers, 26 days after he was sworn in for his second term in office.
The president has since made just three appointments: Mele Kyari as the group managing director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and renewal of Ahmed Idris’s appointment as the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) and renewing the appointment of Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
In his first term, it took Buhari six months to announce his cabinet.
But speaking in a chat with The Interview, Adesina said “the circumstances are not the same”, adding that it would not take as long as it did in 2015.
“Nigerians will not have to wait a day longer than necessary, before they have a cabinet,” Adesina said.
“And as the president himself has said, the process won’t take as long as it did in 2015, because the circumstances are not the same.”
