President Muhammadu Buhari, Monday, stated that he would name his cabinet this month.
The president gave the assurance in Aburi, 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.
Buhari also stated that the Nigerian military, alongside the Multi-National Joint Task Force, had made remarkable progress in the fight against Boko Haram since he assumed office as President.
“The first thing I did after I came into office was to reorganize the military; and clear orders were given to them in terms of retraining, re-equipping and redeployment of troops.
“In the northeast, the military is gaining ground and Boko Haram has been limited to the Sambisa forest.
“Internally Displaced Persons are gradually moving back home and they are being reintegrated into their respective communities,” President Buhari said.
On the declaration of assets, the President affirmed that it was a constitutional requirement that all public office holders in Nigeria should declare their assets before and after their term in office.
“I recall that in 1975 when late Murtala Mohammed became the Head of State, we were lined up – governors, ministers, members of the Supreme Military Council. Officials of Ministry of Justice were brought and every individual was made to declare his assets.
“All Heads of States and Government, governors, ministers, permanent secretaries have to declare their assets because it is a constitutional requirement.
“I have declared my assets four times. When I was governor in 1975, I declared. After being Minister of Petroleum and as a member of Supreme Military Council, I declared. When I was Head of State and now as a President, I have also declared,” he added.

Those who do not want the progress of Nigeria can't stop complaining.
ReplyDeleteThey would rather prefer a selected few to keep stealing our collective wealth than to accept the truth.

ReplyDeleteThe appointment of his cabinet is long over due. On the issue of boko haram I strongly believe it's all a well planned script.
ReplyDeleteOn declaration of assets, it was a good example for others to follow however it should be done with all honesty.

ReplyDeleteStella u r jst a stupid asslicker, b4 buhari came into power u were campaigning for jonathan, now. U don change mouth, useless woman dat cannot pick a struggle,madam ugly
ReplyDeleteWhy so pained?
DeleteGet a life
So much hatred! So because she campaigned for Jonathan, she should stay and die as a Jonathan fan? People don't have the right to make decisions and choose the best for themselves without eliciting hate anymore? All I can say is God Bless you, may He make His face to shine upon you and uplift you from this pit you have plunged into, that is the only reason you have so much pain inside you while someone else lives life. Kai!!!
DeleteEven with her so-called ugliness, you are still dying for her, sleeping on her blog daily waiting for crumbs from BVs' giveaways/Richard' cards. What a pity. As beautiful or handsome as you are, you haven't won any beauty pageant and at your age, you are still hiding under anonymous to vomit rubbish. Grow up joor!Beautiful monkey.
DeleteDear Anonymous, I will admit that I do not like SDK's stance on certain issues but it is a free world, right?
DeleteJeez this is uncalled for, there is nothing wrong with changing sides, she needed proof to believe in Buhari and she has seen it so what is wrong in promoting him, if she keeps backing Jonathan up u will still be here to complain. And you didn't have to insult her, people lack respect abeg.
DeleteBuhari you talk too much. give us our ministers.
