Ministerial Appointment: Presidency Says September 30 Deadline Is Sacrosanct

• The Presidency has re-assured that the September 30 deadline given by President Mohammadu Buhari for the appointment of Ministers would be met.
• This is against the backdrop of a growing apprehension in the polity on the fact that it is only 5 days to the end of the month.
• But in an exclusive chat with the Senior Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on the issue recently, he stated that Nigerians needed not to worry as the deadline given by president Mohammadu Buhari to form his cabinet has not yet elapsed.

He said: “Time given has not yet elapsed and the president himself said by September 30, there is no cabinet, you should come and ask him questions. That is it.”

•  Recall that the president had in his visit to Ghana on September 7 told Journalists that he would unfailingly constitute his cabinet on or before the end of September.
