Why It Took Time To Constitute Cabinet, By Buhari by PsmartexLLB(m): 9:05am On Nov 18, 2015 |
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari yesterday gave insight into reasons why
it took him time to constitute the Federal Executive Council. The
President linked it to former President Goodluck Jonathan and the
Peoples Democratic Party's unpreparedness for the outcome of the 2015
presidential election, as they didn't put in place structures that will make
the transition seamless.
Speaking at a Conference on Government Transition Framework for
Nigeria, organized by the National Democratic Institute, in Abuja, with
theme, 'Strengthening Nigeria's transition framework for democratic
consolidation,' President Buhari maintained that had a system been in
place, real-time information would have been available to assist the
incoming government to quickly settle down, form its cabinet and go
about the business of governance.
He insisted that the inadequacy of the handover notes from the
immediate past administration contributed in no small measure to the
delay in constituting his cabinet, stressing that he needed to have a clear
idea of what his administration was inheriting.
According to the President, "the country lacked an institutionalized
transition system, the then ruling government simply did not know what
to do and unpatriotic elements exploited the situation, which almost led
to a national crisis.
"For the government led by a ruling party that had vowed to stay in
power for 60 years in the first instance, they were not prepared for any
transition that will not be from themselves to themselves. How can they,
when they felt invincible, judging by their perceived strength and
assumed popularity and the huge resources at their disposal? Our
experience in the last transition process was unique, despite the fact that
we have held many general elections and transitioned from one
government to another.
"Indeed, the last election heralded the first real transition in the history
of our nation, being the first time that an opposition party will sweep the
ruling party out of power. This probably explains why the then ruling
government was completely caught unawares by the outcome of the
election," he added. |
