According to a statement released by the President’s special assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari charged the new appointees to do their best in the interest of the country.
“All of you, including the national security adviser, were chosen on merit. Your records gave you the job. Save for the new chief of army staff, whom I briefly met at his command at the Multi-National Joint Task Force, in Chad, I don’t know any of you. Your records recommended you.
“Legally, you are in acting capacity until the National Assembly accepts you. It is only then that you will take the oath of office. Thereafter, we will sit down and talk in more detail,” the statement said.
