Buhari Can't Appoint Fewer Than 37 Ministers - Rep.

Honorable Edward Pwajok, an individual from the House of Representatives from Jos East\Jos South Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, has exhorted President Muhammadu Buhari to designate no less than 37 ministers.

Addressing newsmen in Jos, Pwajok, an individual from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said Buhari can name more than 37 minister as permitted by the 1999 constitution yet he is not allowed to designate less, Daily Trust reports.


Pwajok said: "However Mr. President has not sent his candidates to the Senate for affirmation as minister, there are theories in the media that he expects to select under 36 or 37 clergymen as a result of the downturn in the economy."

As indicated by him, the president would be rupturing Nigeria's constitution on the off chance that he ought to avoid any of the 36 states or the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the arrangement of his minister.

"The soul in the constitution is the thing that we ought to take a gander at, which is to incite solidarity and a feeling of having a place with all the uniting units and to pick competent hands, which possess large amounts of each condition of the nation. Every piece of this nation has individuals who have served and will keep on serving this nation commendably. Along these lines, Mr. President ought to augment his searchlight generally and go to each state and pick the best hands, male or female, youthful or old that will help him in administering this nation," Pwajok said.

He clarified that if Buhari feels he needs to decrease the quantity of priests due to the economy, the constitution would need to be revised first as the entire thought of selecting pastors was to make each state feel a vicinity at the middle.

There has been much nervousness over Buhari's ecclesiastical arrangements. While the president is yet to name the individuals who will make up his bureau, a few arrangements of pastors have been flowing on different media.

The president in a late meeting asked why there was such a great amount of tension over who he  names, saying he was in no rush to designate minister.

Responding to Buhari's remark, some Nigerians clarified why they are on edge over who makes the ministerial list.
