Meanwhile, the PDP said Tuesday that Buhari’s ministerial nominees, had ruined hopes by Nigerians of an early defeat of the evil of corruption from the system.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, the party said: “By a mere look at the list, one can tell that there is nothing to be excited about, especially considering the length of time it took the president to come up with it. Looking at the list, it is hard to put a finger on why it should take any serious-minded and focused government, six months after its election to assemble such a regular team.”

The party added that ‘‘the list and the length of time it took have further confirmed the fact that the APC-led administration is driven by propaganda and deceit, a development that raises doubts on the sincerity of its anti-corruption crusade.”

While some senators commended Buhari for meeting his September deadline, others deplored him for taking so long only to recycle the same group of Nigerians whose dismal records are in the public domain.
