According to a report by Nigerian Tribune, the delay in the unveiling of the long-awaited ministerial list after President Mohammadu Buhari’s two months in office might not be unconnected to the fact that about 33 nominees were found guilty of misappropriation of public funds.
The report says only three out of the 36 nominees successfully passed the screening.
It was revealed that the nominees submitted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) hierarchy were subjected to scrutiny by the DSS, EFCC, ICPC, CBN, the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID), and the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) for forensic screening.
However, the results came as a huge disappointment to the president who planned to have a corruption-free administration.
A source said: “Buhari has said anybody with skeleton in the closet will not work with him irrespective of the role he or she played. If such persons are around him, it means he may be pressurised to compromise his principled stance”.
“So, they are trying to push him to a corner, because the truth is that they cannot seem to read or understand his body language. They have now seen that Buhari is ready to sacrifice anybody for Nigeria to move forward”, the source stated.
