He said he only sent names of 36 ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation because the constitution stipulates that each state of the federation must have representatives in his cabinet.

And that these minister nominees though representing their states a few will not have portfolios but will be part of his cabinet.
President Muhammadu Buhari says he wants to be remembered as a Nigerian president who fought corruption to a standstill, calling on Nigerians, who are not involved in corruptly enriching themselves with public funds, not to be afraid.
On whether there will be an extension of a three-month deadline given by his administration to flush out Boko Haram from Nigeria’s north-east, the President said that the target was to get rid of terrorism and not about meeting deadline.
“I did not work into the presidency alone”. “I am confident that our approach to fighting corruption through value re-orientation, improved internal processes and systems and the rule of law, as well as enhancing the capacity of the various anti-corruption agencies and institutions will prove more enduring in addressing this evil”, he said.
“We are reducing the number of ministries we can’t afford to pay”, he said.
“You know I contested in 2003, 2007, 2011”. The country was material vandalized and morally so’.
The President said that he expected the ongoing recoveries and prosecutions to serve as a deterrent to others who nurse the ambition of seeking public office exclusively for illegal personal gain.
‘Don’t forget that I made an earlier statement to the effect that the Nigerian military and police earned accolades all over the world: Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan’.
Addressing members of the Nigerian community in India, the president declared that curbing corruption, recovery of stolen funds and prosecution of persons who have been indicted for corrupt practices will also continue to be vigorously pursued.
“We are confident that India, as a tested friend and dependable partner, will always stand shoulder to shoulder with us in the discharge of the mandate entrusted to us by our people”, Buhari said. I see it in the papers watch it on screen but I have never lost a sleep on it because those that are not corrupt should even encourage us to do more.
