The All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is free to pick his ministers.

National Chairman of the ruling party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, who made this disclosure yesterday, said the party trusts the President’s judgment.

President Buhari is expected to send the names of his ministers to the Senate for confirmation latest tomorrow.

Speaking after a National Working Committee (NWC) meeting at the party’s secretariat in Abuja, Odigie-Oyegun said: “We know that the President will do what he needs to do.

You can trust him on that.”

He also promised that the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) would soon be inaugurated.

“You know that we have been pretty busy, but I want to assure you that it will soon be inaugurated”, he said.
