Speaking to newsmen during the AU Summit in South Africa yesterday, president Buhari said he doesn't know why people are anxious about ministers, saying he's yet to appoint them because his predecessor’s transition committee submitted its report on the previous administration to him late.
“I don’t know why people are so anxious about ministers. But eventually we will have (them). But the main reason is that I have an interim committee which I agreed with the former President Jonathan that the ministers of the outgoing government should hand over their notes or their documents to this interim committee so that a position can be prepared for the new government to start from with clear records from ministers.
But the ministers knew that they were going while the technocrats, the permanent secretaries and directors and so on, would remain. If anything goes wrong they would be invited to explain, but unfortunately the outgoing government did not cooperate.
So, what the committee did was to divide itself into about five sub-committees and got a resource person that was willing to come and bring the document, and so they prepared and I got the report I think three days ago."
“I was waiting for this report because I would like to know the position of things in the government especially in terms of finance and petroleum industry. So, I am not in a hurry to get ministers.
I want to get ministers after at least I have seen the report because I don’t have to appoint a minister today and sack him the next week because this report would give me what actually happened in terms of security, and economy of the country. And since I have to have ministers from politicians and technocrats, I wouldn’t (like to) make the mistake of getting somebody, who has been involved on account of accountability." he said

Well said Mr president
I DONT KNW OOH, TEK UR TYM BABA....TOMJERRYSWIT
That's Nigeria for him. Our expectations are too high, most of us want the change to begin immediately, unfortunately for us Mr president doesn't have a magic wand. Let him take his time to appoint his ministers.
Your comment will be visible after approval
Mr President plz take your Time Sir !!!
God Bless Nigeria !!!
Take your time and do the needful sir.
Well spoken my president. Take your time
Now know why people are anxious for ministers: Nigerians now understand that you, illiterate Bokohari, is brain-dead. They want a team to manage this country. Meanwhile, because your brain froze in 1985 when West Germany was in existence, Nigerians do not trust you to pilot a democratic, modern Nigeria.
Sai baba, my president you are in order
PMB will do what is right for him to do at the time he feels is right. No one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do
His word speaks highly of him
He's spoken his mind.. let's live him to act what is best. Luke 2:52

"The outgoing government did not corporate". This man is still playing blame games for his inefficiencies? Abeg start working and fulfilling your countless promises. We are sick and tired of reference to the previous government at this time of d day. Nonsense! Oga go slow!

Sometimes, I wonder whether it's purely pretence, naivety or is it that the president does not understand the mindset of his co travellers . The hunt is ended and the hunters want to share their catch. You had better hurry, Sir. More so, when the elections at both the Senate and the House of Representatives have not benefited any of the power brokers.
Wise man.......Carry on Mr President
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB......
You are always on point,let those stupid haters keep deceiving themselves.You are an upright Man,I admire you so much,quite unfortunate our nation loves corrupt people.GOD will see you through.
That he doesn't know why he is anxious sounds insensitive. We are anxious cos it is taking too long. Any right thinking leader should even have his list in mind as he cmpaigns. Or is he gonna do all works alone. That Fmr regime didn't make prompt report is a sweet excuse for the impressionables.

Lol u never halla! Looks like there's nothing positive to come from this old man! When u were promising heaven on earth u did not know people's expectations will be high.
Buhari Sir....I wonder oh
Why should they cooperate for u to have a reason to jail them. No way. We won't show u our past record or document. Simple. Engr Emy
Am begining to admire PMB a lot,this is wat we need in dz country,people who are strick abt accountability issue coz diz past minister are correct ole indeed.only God knows how their fake report wiil look lik and am sure they will try very hard to cover up their dirty exploits,truth must surel prevail
Wise president we have
....and our President has spoken....farabale
President sir did you say you don't know? Let me give you 1 reason: The public servants are not taking their jobs seriously because there is no minister to lead and/or direct them. Take for instance in AGIS, Abuja, a search report that ordinarily will take 24hours to get took us about two weeks to get same because the person in charge was either not at work or comes in late and doesn't bother to do her job. If there's an FCT Minister, that cannot happen o. Abeg do quick appoint them sir.
We want the ministers so they can start to assist the president actualize his Vision , period.
Dis man sounds like he knws wat he is doing..Nigerians shud give him time joor..
So those anxious fellow should Calm down buhari is not in a rush to appoint an minister now.
My Presido just take all the time you need, no hurry. Linda take note!
Okiie, notice to all LIBERs. Didn't want to do dis before but I gex I just have to do it as a disclaimer. One idiot on dis blog stole my identity, my name & signage.

So I have gone back to using my old pix & my email address is (julie3er@gmail.com). Linda take note!
Seconded! Sai baba! Why rush when u ve got all the time to appoint credible pple.? I feel nigeria is moving towards d right direction.#focus#

Is he kidding?
Nice response, its not good to rush sensitive issues like these as many of the past ministers enriched themselves, so it will be wise to select ONLY those that are technocrats void of any political affiliation.
Oga Buhari I hope you no dey blow gbaguan there.
Linda cogitate
#Applause that's Sai BABA
Nigerians are so anxious for Ministers because the work of fixing Nigeria is tremendous and you alone sir cannot do all the work.
It is the calibre of people you appoint as Ministers that will determine how and whether Nigeria's government will get solved.
ok!
Well said, take ur time sir, much love PMB
Lmao.... this is soo cold remeba he is still ur president...
Yep patience is a virtue.Buhari thinks his age.I believe in him
You are really stupid...He has stated reasons- u should do ur research and confirm!
Dont u think the rationale he gave makes sense?
Didnt u hear they just submitted their manipulated reports 3days ago?since?
Mr. President plesae take ur time but be hasty about it
Ur stupidity is immense!!!We are praying for u though!
Take ur time sir is very necessary
@Anon9:35,Madness runs in your lineage. Alaye baje.
A nation can only thrive by d wisdom of its elders.
BaBa why u also anxious of becoming President?simple
is this man serious? I waited anxiously for 48 hours after handover to know those in your cabinet when you didn't shake I told myself Nija another mistake we elected a person who is not prepares and now nearly three weeks after handover you have the guts to say this? mschew. you are as clueless as them all Buhari, who leaves a country without ministers for so long, all these years you were dreaming of becoming a president so u didn't have a plan. CHRIST!!!!!!!
Temilola it is you that madness runs in your lineage which is very obvious from the way you comment. Omo ale.
I beg your pardon it's a democratic dispensation not his family affair so it's not when he feels it's right
No it doesn't I am not blinded by the so called change chant when you go for a job interview for senior positions you are asked most times what's your plan for your first 100 days
He campaigned he made electoral promises so he should know by now who and who he wants as his ministers and should have submitted those names to the house for vetting as the norm he is stagnating the economy by leaving the ministries without authority instead they are busy allocating allowances to the house
Well said best comment so far👍🏽👍🏽
When Goodluck said he wanted to do handover before May 29, you people shouted including you mr president now you are stating this as the problem not you inability to understand that handover isn't a days job. We need ministers cos you can't do it alone especially when you have been away 3times in 2weeks and 4days
Fool
Buhari why were you anxious of the presidency
E-Weyrey. Omo iran kiran,Ori e ti buru. Nigeria will rise again and u are just gonna be a spectator. Alaileko.
