2017 CABINET RESUFFLE: Presidency Reacts To Report Of Making Full Board Appointment Next Year

The Presidency yesterday refuted media reports that President Muhammadu Buhari will make full board appointments in January 2017.



Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, who was quoted to have made the statement, said he never gave such confirmation.

“That President Buhari will make full board appointments in January 2017 as published did not come from us”, he declared.

He explained in a statement that in the interaction between him and some State House correspondents he tried to clear a few issues that they raised.

Shehu clarified: “Here is what I said: ‘You know that the reconstitution began methodically, from sector to sector.’

“‘You should expect that to resume at the beginning of the New Year. The President has given directions on what to do’.”
