US govt speaks on Atiku’s visa

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar says he will have his cabinet ready before May 29, 2019 if elected president.

Writing via his Twitter handle on Thursday, Abubakar said, he will not wait 6 months, a veiled dig at President Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari took six months before unveiling his cabinet after he was elected in 2015.

Abubakar said the country needs a decisive leader “to get Nigeria working Again.”

He wrote: “If Nigerians elect me as their President, I will NOT take 6 months before naming my cabinet. My cabinet will be ready before May 29, 2019, if by the grace of God, you elect me. Our country needs a decisive leader. #LetsGetNigeriaWorkingAgain.”

Some critics of the Buhari administration have traced the country’s recession in 2016 to Buhari’s delay in appointing a cabinet which they reckon reflected a lack of economic direction, thereby discouraging investors.
