President’s ministerial list will be a shocker – Report

According to The Tribune, Buhari has also replaced the names of some former governors whom he had earlier included on the list.

 

According to reports, President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list is set to be a shocker as it might not include the names of any big-time politicians.

The president is said to have composed the list of his proposed cabinet members personally due to his determination to appoint clean hands.

A source told The Tribune:

“The president has made it clear to his party leaders that he needs to put in place a team that would work for the people.”

"He is also insisting on people with unblemished record of service. He had stated that he would not condone a public officer who would be going to court with official vehicles to defend corruption charges.”

"This is the time to walk the talk and the feelers we are having is that he (Buhari) stuck to his guns. The president has assured his party leaders that while sensitivity of the job of ministers would not allow him pick some of their favoured candidates some names could be considered for future assignments.”

Meanwhile, Buhari is said to have submitted the list of ministers to the Department of State Services (DSS) for screening.
