The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, says President Muhammadu Buhari is taking his time in the appointment of ministers to ensure he will not fall into the pitfall that is in rushing such appointments.
Senator Tinubu made the statement while addressing reporters after a meeting with President Buhari on Wednesday.
‘A Rot’
He was at the Presidential Villa in Abuja in company of Mr Bisi Akande.
According to him, the party is focused on supporting President Buhari achieve his goal of transforming the nation which they described as ‘a rot’.
“There is pitfall in rushing… quick fix depending upon the depth of the rot. It can result in mistakes of unimaginable magnitude. There is equally glory and recovery in slowness when you have a slow fix of a bad foundation.
“To me, I rather take the one that will last the country and endure for a longer period of time than rush our shopping,” the former Governor of Nigeria’s commercial city, Lagos, told reporters.
He also disagreed with the Peoples Democratic Party’s claim that President Buhari was dictatorial and asked the opposition party to keep silent if it had nothing meaningful to say.
Senator Tinubu said that the President was doing his best to really help the nation recover from the ‘paralysis’, citing a bailout given to some states, which he said was meant to help stimulate the economies of those states.
President Buhari on Monday in Aburi, Ghana reassured Nigerians and the international community that he would name his cabinet members before the end of the month.
President Buhari gave the assurance at a joint press conference with President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana.
“After I was sworn-in, I said I will have my cabinet in September. I expect that Nigerians should ask me questions after the 30th of September if I do not do so,” President Buhari said while responding to a question on the appointment of ministers.
