The presidency has said that President Mohammadu Buhari will make his ministerial appointments at the right time.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, stated this on Tuesday in an interview with Vanguard.
Adesina was reacting to the massive public concern over the failure of the President to form his cabinet after one month in office.
The presidential spokesman said the president was preparing the grounds for the Ministers, saying that they would be appointed at the fullness of time.
He said: “The appointment of Ministers is constitutional because the constitution prescribes that there must be a Minister from at least one state of the federation and President Mohammdu Buhari will do what is constitutional. So, he will constitute a cabinet.
“But then, when he does is his prerogative. He is the one who will determine when he needs that cabinet. But for now, he has said that he wants to lay a proper foundation for the administration and that’s why he has been working with bureaucrats; the various Permanent Secretaries.
“For the past two week and still going forward, the Permanent Secretaries have been briefing him on the state of their ministries and then, I am sure at the fullness of time, the Ministers will be appointed.”
