‘I didn’t know most of my ministers in the first tenure’ – Buhari

Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari has been under intense pressure to unveil his ministerial nominees and form his cabinet.

Addressing the leadership of the National Assembly during a dinner on Thursday night in Abuja, the President said he is under pressure to unveil his ministerial nominees.

“I am very much aware about it and I am under tremendous pressure on it,” he said.

President Buhari added, “The last cabinet which I had, most of them, a majority of them I didn’t know.

“I had to accept their names and recommendation from the party. I worked with them for three and a half years.”

The President, however, explained that the delay was to nominate people he knows personally and can work with.
