Buhari will not appoint himself Petroleum Minister – Presidency

The presidency has stated that president Muhammadu Buhari will not be designated as Minister of Petroleum.

“President Buhari is not going to be designated as Minister but will supervise the Ministry; he has all it takes to supervise the ministry,” Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said on Twitter.

Adesina, who was reacting to the list of ministerial nominees also noted that Buhari’s age should not be something of concern, stressing that, it was not the chronological age that Nigerians should be worry about but his experience.

“President Buhari would respect the constitution, and the constitution says Ministers must be appointed from each state.

“People who have been nominated are qualified and are Nigerians. Talking of age, there is a saying that ‘age does not matter’.

“We must rather talk of the mental age rather than the chronological age. It is not the chronological age that matters”, he added.
