The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu in an interview on Saturday with Sahara TV said Nigerians need to be more patient with the President because he will be making more than 6000 appointments which cannot be made in a hurry. He also said his slow and steady approach to Government will pay off for
“I think President Muhammadu Buhari is sensitive to the diversity of this country. He has more than 6,000 appointments to make. Therefore, why would anybody use less than 10 appointments to judge the President on this matter? Again, it boils down to the lack of patience. This man is an experienced leader. Nigeria stands to gain from the accumulation of wisdom that he has garnered over his long life on earth. He has sworn to an oath that he’s a President of all.
“This government will make as many as 6,000 appointments. And he is bound, even if he doesn’t wish it, by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to reflect federal character,” Garba Shehu said.
