Buhari's spokesman Femi Adesina says he won't be surprised if the ministerial list is ready because it is still within the timeline given by the President himself.
Adesia spoke while in New York for the 70th UN General Assembly on Monday.
''I will not be surprised if the list is ready because it is within the timeline that the President gave, Adesian told reporters''. ''He said he would name his cabinet in September. Today (Monday) is September 28, so if it happens that it is ready, it is within the timeline.''.
When asked to give an insight into the number of nominees on the list, the presidential spokesman simply said, ''The constitution already gives you an idea of the number of people that can be on the cabinet because it stipulates that we must have at least one minister per state.''
A top Presidency source however told Punch that the President did not necessarily have to send Enang back to Nigeria to submit the list since he (the President) himself and his delegation are due back in the country on Tuesday.
''Senator Ita Enang is billed to return to Nigeria today. The President does not have to send him back because of the list. The truth is that the list will be given to the Senate either on Tuesday or Wednesday,'' the official said.
