I didn’t know some of my appointees from Adam, says Buhari

 

President Muhammadu Buhari said he did not know some members of his cabinet when he appointed them.
Buhari said he came across names of some of his appointees from the records made available to him.
He stated this at a state dinner organised in his honour at Abakaliki, Ebonyi state capital, according to a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina.
The president who is on a two-day official visit to the state said his appointments were based on merit and in the best interest of Nigeria.
“Some of the people holding high positions in the government, like my ministers, will tell you that I didn’t know them from Adam,” he was quoted to have said.
“I just came across their names from the records and I worked with the records. I thank God that I have a very good team.”
Buhari also applauded Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, for his developmental strides.
According to the statement, Buhari said, “The absolute commitment of the governor to his position is very remarkable and I am very impressed.
“We should continue to pray to God that the elites that will be in charge of the country in the future fear God.”
