The APC Chairman made the comments during an interview with journalists in Benin, the Edo State capital.
He said:
“The government is not slow. It is cautious; it is deliberate. It is good we go with deliberate steps; make a few mistakes as possible in the appointments that will need to come.”

“That process is close to its end. Some aspects of our promises are already under way. Implementations of some of the party’s promises are underway.”
“There was the need, given that this is our first experience in governance, to be cautious.”
“There was the need because of the totally different nature of our manifestos and social welfare programmes we promised to the people; that those he wants to bring to execute these programmes are totally different. That they understand. They are passionate and have ideas about what is required to be done.”
Meanwhile, Buhari has revealed that he will not be appointing ministers till September 2015.
