President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has dismissed the ministerial lists in circulation on the social media as fake because his ministers will not emerge the way the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) picked members of its Federal Executive Council (FEC) in the last 16 years.

Buhari made this known in an exclusive interview he granted senior editors of Daily Trust at his country home in Daura, Katsina State on Tuesday.
As the May 29 handover date draws closer, there have been speculations about those who would make the next government’s ministerial list. Most of the persons who featured on the speculative list were picked from across the 36 states and the six geopolitical zones, to rhyme with the PDP’s tradition of appointing a minimum of one minister from each state of the federation and six others from the geopolitical zones.

In the interview, Buhari dismissed the speculations, by stating that “I am not speaking about it; I have not put anything on paper, so nobody has seen it and I haven’t discussed it with anybody; I am just keeping it close to my chest.”

The exclusive interview was conducted in-between a series of emotional activities in which the president-elect met with his primary and secondary school mates and other personal friends to exchange banters because, as he put it, as from May 29, he would be too busy with the affairs of Nigeria, hence it would be difficult to find time to socialise with his cherished friends from his childhood.

Providing an insight into how his ministers would emerge, Buhari said, “I am ardent listener of Hausa Service of Voice of America (VOA) and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) from 6am to 7am every morning. I am going to quote myself because I heard in one of the interviews that I said the type of people I am supposed to appoint, like in the cabinet and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and service chiefs, will be different. Definitely my approach is going to be different from what we had under the PDP where governors nominated ministers.”

The president-elect said if state governors are at liberty to appoint their commissioners, he, too, should be at liberty to choose those who would serve with him in the Federal Executive Council.
According to Buhari, he was still looking around for the kind of persons who could help to transform the country, stating that, “I have been around long enough to know people that I can approach for things like that… Deliberately we will look for competent people, dedicated and experienced to head ministries and, of course, there will be schedules for ministers and we will expect them to fill them. Economically we will try and stop a lot of wastages and encourage austerity so that we can fund the ministries. Education and healthcare will get more attention. Of course, security is Number One. Certainly, there is a lot to do but we are hoping that we ‘ll get good people to be in charge of ministries who can apply themselves to their responsibilities so that in no time Nigerians would begin to see the difference.”

When asked if he would present the list of his ministers to the Senate in the first week of the proclamation of the new legislature, Buhari simply responded “I will not make that known before you.”
He spoke extensively on why he is insisting that the principle of separation of powers among the three arms of government should be obeyed; the power sharing in the All Progressives Congress (APC); fuel subsidy; the lack of progress made in the handover from President Goodluck Jonathan to him, and much more.

Something is telling me in my mind that Buhari and Osinbajo are going to perform to the expectations of Nigerians.

May God help our Charismatic President.

Sai Buhari
Our expectation is very high!
Baba please don't let us down

Beware of sycophants !
Anyway I trust you being a former military general and an head of state.
You must have seen it all but still be wary of men and demand the utmost discipline from those you will eventually choose.

Just remember that the first step to failure is choosing fat faced big bellied thieves in your cabinet

Wow!!!!
Good news cous I dreamt being picked as Minister of women affairs..

Crox my fingers waiting...

The bolded gladdens my heart beyond words.

His insistence will be like choosing a partner for yourself out of love than the "arranged" one the governors' will be.

It will be a beneficial love match for ALL.

God will see us through and bless this dear nation of ours.

Nice idea. Hope he sees it through

God will choose for you baba, insha jesus!

Buhari, the importance of the people you appoint to help chart the course towards a greater Nigeria cannot be over emphasized. Take a cue from the outgoing president that surrounded himself with hawks whose nose only smell money and nothing else. Dont make that same mistake lest it mar you.

For u not to fail is for u not to fail at all .
So pls let the public chose dose to serve them make it public a word is ok for now

His statements are always calculated with respect and courage. Thats presidential. God Bless Nigeria

good luck to u Mr president. At the same time be cautious of chameleons

We are solidly behind u sir, I believe u will give us ur best....

#May Allah be with u







#may God bless me o

Nigeria Is indeed on d right path to greatness

why did we vote for change if not to have things done differently. Baba carry on.

According to Buhari, he was still looking around for the kind of persons who could help to TRANSFORM the country, stating that, “I have been around long enough to know people that I can approach for things like that… GEJ continue

May God give you the grace to do the right thing

You have my 100% support for this.let d right men do d job.
#in_baba_we_trust

i hope and pray he selects the best brains.

It appears gen.buhari our president elect is forgetting abt one of the key campaign promises dat made nigerians vote for him....POWER(ELECTRICITY)....
This is d 3rd news am reading abt d new administration ofwhich a 3point agenda was being given:1)security,(2)corruption(3)unemployment,nothing like "power"....pls cn the apc warlords help tell buhari dat nigerians are expecting him to equally address d power sector as well.

APC have technocrats that can perform excellently..so am not doubting Baba.

Even though this may sound good, it is absolutely impossible in today messy political climate of Nigeria.
How then would you compensate those Governors and political heavyweights that funded your election.

Buhari, the Nigerians you are trying to deceive are not available right now, pls try again later.


If you believe Buhari can truly do this, click like otherwise, click share

if u like choose it from ur nose


make sure u give Amaechi something


if not

Sai Baba
