Buhari Angry Over House Of Reps Fracas, Set To Delay Ministerial List

President Muhammadu Buhari is reportedly angry over the fracas that ensued at the federal house of representatives yesterday.
According to The News, Buhari is also angry over the disrespect accorded the All Progressives Congress (APC) on various positions to be filled in both Chambers of the Nigerian legislature.
With both chambers announcing an adjournment till 21 July, Buhari’s ministerial list will also have to be delayed for at least one month or even till after the Ramadan fasting period.
The 7th Senate under Senator David Mark approved in early June, Buhari’s request for 15 special advisers. Out of the list, Buhari has only appointed a special adviser on media and publicity, Mr. Femi Adeshina.
Speaking through another media aide, Garba Shehu, recently, Buhari had blamed the crisis in the senate as part of the reasons for the delay in unveiling ministerial nominees.
Although, the deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, has described the ongoing tension in the national assembly as a disagreement that is in the interest of Nigeria.
