You are at: Home » COVER » Buhari inaugurates ministers next week
The presidency disclosed on Sunday, November 8, when Muhammadu Buhari will finally swear in the ministers-designate.
After months of waiting for the new government to appoint the cabinet, Nigerians are set to face the final event to crown the many-staged political move, which is the swearing-in ceremony. According to the statement released by presidential spokesman on Facebook, the ceremony will be held on Wednesday.
“President Muhammadu Buhari will officially inaugurate a new Federal Executive Council on Wednesday, November 11, 2015.
“Before the commencement of the inaugural session of the council, the ministers-designate will take their oaths of office in the Council Chambers of the presidential villa.
“The swearing-in ceremony will begin promptly at 10:00 hours and the ministers-designate are expected to be seated in the Council Chambers by 09:30 hours at the latest.
“Each minister-designate can only be accompanied to the swearing-in ceremony by a maximum of two guests.

Also, following the confirmation of their nominations by the Senate, President Buhari will tomorrow at the Presidential Villa, preside over the swearing-in of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and five others as National Commissioners of INEC. The swearing-in of Prof Yakubu, Mrs Amina Zakari, Mr Solomon Adedeji Soyebi, Prof Antonia Taiye Okoosi-Simbine, Dr Muhammed Mustafa Lecky and Alhaji Baba Shettima Arfo is scheduled for 11:00 hours in the Council Chambers of the presidential villa.”
It should be recalled that Buhari has been criticized over the delay in appointing the cabinet. The country leader even received the name “Baba Go Slow”. The president, however, explained that there should be no rush in making such important political decisions.
Buhari, who was inaugurated on May 29, took his 36 ministers on a retreat on Thursday and Friday.

Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
