The Presidency has said that the
ongoing crisis in the National Assembly will not in any way affect President
Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list.
This was disclosed on Thursday,
June 25, 2015, by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba
Shehu, during Channel TV’s Sunrise Daily.
Shehu explained that the
President was simply taking his time to nominate ministers to avoid having to
sack anyone.
“Do you want a situation where
the president will appoint a minister and then fire the minister in few months
time?,” Shehu asked.
The presidential aide also added
that Buhari had offered his guidance on how the national assembly crisis can be
resolved.
“As a leader, the President has
given guidance… His own position is that if the eye troubles you, whatever
medicine you’re going to apply, don’t put a pin. The President is not
unconcerned,” Shehu said.
The National Assembly has been in
disarray over some of its principal positions, a situation which is largely due
to disagreements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on who to
occupy the posts.
