The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says there is nothing exciting about the ministerial nominees of President Muhammadu Buhari, as the proposed members of his cabinet “are a regular team”.

The party said “by a mere look at the list, one could tell that there is nothing to be excited about, especially considering the length of time it took the President to come up with it.”

In a statement on Tuesday, Olisa Metuh, PDP national publicity secretary, said: “Looking at the list, it is hard to put a finger on why it should take any serious-minded and focused government, six months after its election to assemble such a regular team.

“The list and the length of time it took have further confirmed the fact that the APC-led administration is driven by propaganda and deceit, a development that raises doubts on the sincerity of its anti-corruption crusade.”

Audu Ogbeh, former PDP national chairman; Chibuike Amaechi, former Rivers state governor; Chris Ngige, former Anambra state governor; Babatunde Fashola, former Lagos state governor; Kayode Fayemi; former Ekiti state governor ; Lai Mohammed, APC national publicity secretary, and Ibe Kachikwu, group managing director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) are some of the names on the ministerial list, which was unveiled Tuesday at the senate.
