Lai Mohammed however explained that
the delay was basically caused by the
transference of government from one
political party to the other.
He recalled that when transition in
government took place within the then
ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) ministerial appointments were
usually made two weeks after
inauguration.
According to him, “The concern of
Nigerians over the delay in the release of
ministerial appointments is genuine. But
the fact is that this is the first time in the
history of Nigeria that the opposition
party will take over government from the
ruling party.”
“Our plan was to interface and interact
with the outgoing government, but it
didn’t just work out so party set up
transition committee which later
presented 800 pages hand over
documents to mister president”
“So, in this kind of situation we found
ourselves, we have to be thorough in
making appointments because Nigerians
expectations are very high and it’s
understandable. So, in a couple of days
the ministerial cabinet list would be
made available and it would be a thing
of the past”
Continuing, he said “We might be slow,
but in reality when we make the right
appointments, we will make up for all
the shortcoming Nigerians have been
complaining about”.
He also decried the comment of the
opposition PDP on the performance rate
of President Buhari in 30 days in office
saying, “the PDP is just revelling in its
new found roles of opposition, they are
entertaining themselves and Nigerians”
