The hue of Buhari’s next cabinet would soon crystalise, just as the character of its composition would also emerge within the next two weeks, The Guardian learnt, yesterday. The Ahmad Lawan-led 9th Senate would upon resumption from its two-week recess on July 2, begin a speedy screening and confirmation of nominees, whose names are expected to be submitted by the Presidency any moment from now.
A ranking senator who volunteered information on the issue told The Guardian that at the moment, there was nothing on ground regarding the list of persons to be confirmed as ministers. He was, however, optimistic that within the period of the Senate’s recess, President Buhari would turn in the list.
Another lawmaker, a former House of Representatives member, who got elected into the Senate in the February 23, 2019 election said although the President is still within reasonable time if he submits the list before July, expectations are that he would make up for the time lost during his first term when he delayed the ministerial list for six months.
