The Presidency has allayed fears that the next cabinet to be put in place by President Muhammadu Buhari will be composed of men of Spartan discipline – incorruptible and impeccable.
Senior Special Adviser to the President, Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba said that the President would appoint “credible, incorruptible and patriotic Nigerians who are motivated by selfless service” to serve in his next cabinet.
Buhari, who was declared winner of Nigeria’s 2019 presidential poll in February by the Independent National Electoral Commission would be sworn in for a second term in office on Wednesday, May 29.
Garba said: “President Buhari’s new cabinet will be packed with credible, incorruptible and patriotic Nigerians who are motivated by selfless service,”
He added that the era of perceiving government job as an opportunity to make billions at the expense of the voters is long gone.
“The president will select men and women who have the zeal to serve the country selflessly. His cabinet will represent all interests, including youths and women. Above all, patriotism and integrity are still important in determining his appointments,” he said.
