President Muhammadu Buhari will make no fewer than 6,000 appointments.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, revealed this, while urging Nigerians to be patient with the President, whom he says will be fair to everyone.
Buhari, has been overtly criticised for not constituting his cabinet and appointing people into various boards of parastatals as well as not exhibiting federal character in the few appointments made so far.
In an interview with Sahara TV on Saturday, July 18, Garba Shehu said:
“The President is also being pilloried for allegedly favouring the North in the appointment he had made so far but I think President Muhammadu Buhari is sensitive to the diversity of this country. He has more than 6,000 appointments to make.”
“Therefore, why would anybody use less than 10 appointments to judge the President on this matter? Again, it boils down to the lack of patience. This man is an experienced leader. Nigeria stands to gain from the accumulation of wisdom that he has garnered over his long life on earth. He has sworn to an oath that he’s a President of all.
“This government will make as many as 6,000 appointments. And he is bound, even if he doesn’t wish it, by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to reflect federal character.”
