Buhari May Not Appoint Ministers Until September by Nobody: 10:08am On Jul 01, 2015 |
ABUJA, (Reuters ) – Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari may not name a cabinet until September as he takes time to find credible ministers and build a government untainted by the corruption of the past , a senior official and party sources said . Buhari swept to power in March on an anti - graft ticket and was sworn in on May 29 but critics are starting to ask why ministers for Africa’ s biggest economy have yet to be unveiled a month after he came into power. His defeat of incumbent Goodluck Jonathan was seen as a positive step for Africa ’s top oil producer, given the corruption scandals that have blighted previous administrations. But Nigeria ’ s financial markets are starting to suffer as the post -election euphoria fades and the lack of a cabinet leaves investors waiting in vain for policy direction on issues as important as the currency and petroleum investment . “It will take the next two months before ministers can come on board. Bringing them in now may disrupt the clean - up going on . So Nigerians just have to be patient, ” presidential media adviser Garba Shehu told Reuters. “ We need to clean up the mess everywhere before the ministers can come. ” Buhari’ s anti -corruption drive has been at the heart of his moves so far , alongside efforts to establish a military force with Cameroon, Chad and Niger to fight the six- year Boko Haram Islamist insurgency in the northeast . While Buhari has not named any ministers , he dissolved the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company ( NNPC ) last week and the state oil firm ’ s management may be next to go. The National Economic Council , a presidential advisory group that met this week for the first time since Buhari was inaugurated , said the NNPC had kept nearly half Nigeria ’s oil revenues from 2012 to May 2015 and promised an investigation . Parliament also agreed last week to investigate contracts between the NNPC and oil trading houses , in which crude was swapped for refined fuel products , on the grounds that there was a gap between the value of the oil delivered and fuel received . “President Buhari’ s cabinet won ’ t be ready until early September because he is not in a hurry, ” a senior member of his All Progressives Congress ( APC ) party said . “ He is just being meticulous so that he can bring in credible and competent hands . ” However , some APC insiders say a power struggle between Buhari and party leader Bola Tinubu , a former Lagos state governor and one of Nigeria ’ s most formidable political godfathers, lies behind the delays . The opposition People ’s Democratic Party (PDP ) said it was concerned Buhari had not made key appointments and the first month of his tenure had been “ all motion , no movement ” . Yvonne Mhango, sub-Saharan Africa economist at Renaissance Capital , said the uncertainty was exacerbating jitters about the outlook for an economy battered by depressed oil prices . “We hope we ’ ll get clarity on what sort of policies we should expect and investors can make decisions on the back of that ,” Mhango said . |
