Expectations of millions of Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari
will hit the ground of his second term in office running with the
appointment of his cabinet ministers was dashed on Thursday as the
Senate denied receiving the ministerial list.
The Senate revealed on Thursday that it is not in custody of names of nominees for ministerial appointment by the President.
This
is contrary to the hope raised by the President of the Senate, Ahmad
Lawan on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday that President Buhari may
forward ministerial list to the Senate before the end of this week.
Senate
Ad – hoc Committee Chairman on Media and Public Affairs, Senator
Adedayo Adeyeye disclosed during a chat with the Senate press corps that
the chamber is not in possession of any ministerial list.
Adeyeye
said senators are anxious to work on the ministerial nominee list and
screen all nominees immediately names of nominees were presented by the
President who has the constitutional duty to do so.
Adeyeye said:
“We cannot keep the list, if the list is transmitted to the President
of the Senate, it will be read immediately. We are too eager; like I
have told you we want to hit the ground running.
“This
is an activity that is not within our control and there is nothing we
can do about it. Like I said here two or three days ago, this matter is
not within the control of the Senate.
“We cannot generate the list on our own; the constitution does not permit us to do that.
“The
constitution has assigned responsibility to various part of government,
and it is the prerogative of the executive to nominate ministers which
will then be confirmed by the Senate.
“Until that duty is
undertaken by the executive there is nothing we can do about that.
Whether we are hopeful or not is neither here nor there.”
