List of buhari ministers is ready

Firstclass newsline gathered that the list of ministers to be
appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari is ready.
The Senate may get a letter from the President requesting the
confirmation of the nominees on Tuesday or Wednesday.
It will be recalled that Buhari who was inaugurated as President on
May 29 had promised to name members of his cabinet in September.
He had at different times said he was in search of Nigerians with
integrity to be part of his team that would reposition the country.
There has been anxiety that the President may not be able to meet the
September deadline as he was quoted recently as saying that the month
was running to an end too fast for his liking.
Indications have however emerged that Buhari, who is currently
attending the 70th United Nations General Assembly in New York, had
concluded work on the list.
The list may be presented to the Senate before October 1.
While reacting to an online report that Buhari had sent one of his
National Assembly Liaison Officers, Senator Ita Enang, back to Nigeria
with the list meant for the Senate, presidential spokesman, Femi
Adesina, told reporters in New York on Monday that he would not be
surprised if the list was ready.
He said it was within the timeline given by the President himself.
"I will not be surprised if the list is ready because it is within the
timeline that the President gave. He said he would name his cabinet in
September. Today (Monday) is September 28, so if it happens that it is
ready, it is within the timeline," Adesina said.
When asked to give an insight into the number of nominees on the list,
the presidential spokesman simply said, "The constitution already
gives you an idea of the number of people that can be on the cabinet
because it stipulates that we must have at least one minister per
state."
A top Presidency source however told a source that the President did
not necessarily have to send Enang back to Nigeria to submit the list
since he (the President) himself and his delegation are due back in
the country on Tuesday.
"Senator Ita Enang is billed to return to Nigeria today. The President
does not have to send him back because of the list. The truth is that
the list will be given to the Senate either on Tuesday or Wednesday,"
the official said.
