According to him, ”the concern of Nigerians over
the delay in the release of ministerial
appointments is genuine. But the fact is that this
is the first time in the history of Nigeria that the
opposition party will take over government from
the ruling party.
“Our plan was to interface and interact with the
outgoing government, but it didn’t just work out
so the party set up its transition committee
which later presented 800 pages hand-over
documents to the president.”
“So, in this kind of situation, we have to be
thorough in making appointments because
expectations of Nigerians are very high and it is
understandable. So, very soon the ministerial
cabinet list will be made available and it will be a
thing of the past. We might be slow, but in
reality when we make the right appointments, we
will make up for all the shortcomings Nigerians
have been complaining about.”

account on Twitter mentioned that the ministerial
list will be out in “few days”. and
