Buhari: Tell Me If I Should Change Ministers by sinkhole: 7:45am On May 27, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari said
yesterday that Nigerians should pass a
verdict on the performance of his
appointed officials during the
administration’s first year in office so
that he will know if he should change
them. Asked if Nigerians should
expect changes in his team during
this anniversary period Buhari said, “I
am waiting for the newspapers to tell
me the performance of my ministers
and whether I should make changes.”
President Buhari explained why his
government took off rather slowly. He
said former President Obasanjo, who
had experience with hand over and
take over, recalled that in 1999
outgoing Head of State General
Abdulsalami Abubakar made each
ministry to prepare handing over
notes and then brief the president-
elect, for him to choose what he
wanted out of it. He said President
Goodluck Jonathan agreed to do the
same and asked all his ministers to
prepare handing over notes and brief
Buhari but they protested at the last
minute that Buhari should not be
allowed to take over the government
before he was sworn-in.
As a result, he said no proper
transition took place and after his
inauguration he had to take briefings
from two ministries a day in order to
make up for lost time.
The president also spoke about
budget padding. He said though he
had been in public life since 1975, he
never heard of budget padding until
when he saw Minister of Health Prof
Isaac Adeoye on television defending
his budget before a National
Assembly committee.
Buhari said he was shocked when the
minister told the committee that he
could not defend what he did not
propose because the budget had
been padded.
He said, “I went [to the National
Assembly] and bowed and delivered
[the budget] but I did not know that
what I delivered was a shell. They
removed what they wanted and
added other things.” He said when
the budget as passed by the National
Assembly was brought to him, he
refused to sign it because throughout
his life he never signed anything that
he did not understand.
At one point, he said, Minister of
Budget and National Planning Udoma
Udo Udoma persuaded him to sign it
and he said “I will sign it because I
trust you.”
However, he said before he could
sign, Udoma read the budget
thoroughly and rushed back to him
and advised him not to sign it unless
amendments were made.
