President Muhammadu Buhari in a BBC Hausa Service said that he will
nominate the people he could trust, and who had worked with him for
years.
He added that his appointments also served as reward for
those who remained loyal to him for years, who refused to be lured by
power or material wealth.
Asked by the BBC about the controversy
of his loapsided and appointed relatives into juicy psotions, President
Buhari said, “This is the nature of Nigerian politics”. “If they will
do justice to me, as an elected Nigerian president, let them look at the
Constitution a Nigerian president works with, there are people who will
closely work with me that don’t need to be taken to the Senate.”
“If I select people whom I know quite well in my political party, whom
we came all the way right from the APP, CPC and APC, and have remained
together in good or bad situation, the people I have confidence in and I
can trust them with any post, will that amount to anything wrong? I
have been with them throughout our trying times, what then is the reward
of such dedication and suffering?
“They did not defect because
of positions, they did not involve themselves in the pursuit of personal
gains, and they accepted their fate throughout our trying moments. What
is wrong if I make you the secretary (of the federal government)
because I have confidence that things will go normal?
