Chief Olisa Metuh
Nigeria’s main opposition political party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the partial ministerial list of President Muhammadu Buhari, which was unveiled today at the senate.
In a press statement released by the party’s national publicity secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP opined that there is nothing to be excited about the ministerial nominees.Parts of the statement read: ”By a mere look at the list, one can tell that there is nothing to be excited about, especially considering the length of time it took the President to come up with it.”
”Looking at the list, it is hard to put a finger on why it should take any serious-minded and focused government, six months after its election to assemble such a regular team.”
According to the party, the list and the length of time it took have further confirmed the fact that the APC-led administration is driven by propaganda and deceit, a development, the PDP says raises doubts on the sincerity of its anti-corruption crusade.
Recall that Saraki received the list last week which was conveyed by Buhari’s chief of staff, Alhaji Abba Kyari and Sen. Ita Enang, the senior special assistant to the president on National Assembly matters (Senate).
Meanwhile, the buzz that was generated by the release of the list has not died down as Nigerians have been reacting to the names on the list since it was made public.
At the weekend, chieftains of some opposition political parties and activists expressed their displeasure with the ministerial list which according to them falls short of expectations. Some expressed doubt that the president was committed to fighting corruption with the calibre of the people he intended to appoint as ministers.
In a related development, some APC chieftains whose names are reportedly on the ministerial have started lobbying senators so they can successfully scale the screening process billed for Wednesday, October 7. Some others are said to have gone spiritual, embarking on intensive prayer sessions to come out unscathed aster the exercise.
