We can’t afford to pay 42 ministers – Buhari


Buahri in an interview with Channels TV and Nigerian Television
Authority in New Delhi in India said that he is working with a team
of people introduced to him by others that he trust and must work
with them.
Buhari while reacting to question on the the divide in the National
Assembly over Rotimi Amaechi’s confirmation as minister said he did
not walk into the presidency alone hence he can not work alone and
that some of those having problems at the National Assembly he had
never meet them.

‘This is team work I said I know people but there are people that I
accept from other people in our team that I trust without even
knowing them.’
‘May be those that are having problem in the National Assembly I
doubt if I have meet him in my life but then I am working with
others.’

‘I did not work into the presidency alone. I have to defend on all
the three tiers of government from all part of the country.’
Backing his 36 Minister nominees Buhari said that he can not work
out outside the constitution and that ministers must be appointed in
conformity with the constitution of the Federal Government in that
ministerial appointment must reflect the 36 states of the country.

And that these minister nominees though representing their states
some will not have portfolios but will be part of his cabinet.
‘We can not work outside the constitution there must be a cabinet
representative from each state.’
‘There use to be forty two ministers but I think we can bearly keep
half of that now because we can not afford it.
