President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday announced the first set of appointments into his administration with Mr. Femi Adesina and Malam Garba Shehu as his spokesmen.
While Adesina would serve as Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Shehu would be the new Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity.
The statement issued  by Shehu, said the president also approved the appointment of Malam Lawal Abdullahi Kazaure as the State Chief of Protocol (SCOP).
Adesina, who is the current President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), was the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun Newspapers.
Garba Shehu on the other hand served as the Director, Media and Publicity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council. He was also the president of the NGE 16 years ago.
Abdullahi Kazaure is a career Foreign Service official and currently serves in Aso Rock Villa as a Special Assistant (Presidential Matters).
Meanwhile, indications yesterday emerged that several factors might have been responsible for the continued delay in getting President Muhammadu Buhari’s approvals on new appointments.
Against expectations that by now, the president would have announced  his appointments for the office of the Secretary  to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and other immediate staff in his administration, the nation is still held in suspense.
We gathered from highly reliable sources at the weekend that the president’s table has been inundated with long list of requests from persons queuing-up for appointments as well as lobby groups with competing interests.
It was also learnt that another reason for the delay was due to President Buhari’s insistence on applying meticulous process in choosing the right person for appointments.
