I Did Not Walk Into The Presidency Alone, I Must Work With Certain People- Buhari Reacts To Amaechi’s ‘Discrimination’

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his government and
Nigeria cannot afford to pay forty two ministers and not all nominees that have
been screened will have portfolios.

He further went ahead saying, the country has been ‘materially
and morally vandalized’ and that will make him reduce the numbers of
ministries. Buhari disclosed this in an interview with Channels TV and Nigerian
Television Authority, NTA, in New Delhi, India.

The president also spoke about working with certain people
introduced to him and answered a question thrown at him over why he thinks the
National Assembly is divided over Amaechi’s ministerial confirmation. Hear him;

‘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 problems in the National
Assembly I doubt if I have met them in my life but then I am working with
others. I did not work into the presidency alone. I have to depend
on all the three tiers of government from all part of the country,’ he said.
