President Buhari was questioned today on “Good Morning Nigeria” TV programme, about the highly anticipated appointment of ministers. Buhari, who has been under criticism over the delay in announcing the senior officials, said that only patriotic, decent and experienced people would form the cabinet, NAN reports. He also claimed that politicians and technocrats would make the list of nominees.
According to him, he said,“From what I have seen so far, we need really patriotic Nigerians – Nigerians that can work very hard, knowledgeable, experienced, committed Nigerians – to be in charge of ministries.
“A lot of the institutions of Nigeria – important institutions – were compromised. Everybody was for himself and God for all of us; its most unfortunate.
“We have the people, educated people, experienced people but everybody seemed to be working for himself – how much he could get as much and as quick as possible.
“We have to look for technocrats and we have to look for politicians and certainly we have to look for decent people in this class to give them the responsibility of being in charge of ministries and important parastatals (agencies).”
