PDP's spokesman: Nothing to be excited about Buhari’s ministerial nominees

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Publicity Secretary Chief Olisa Metuh has issued a statement hours after the ministerial nominees list was unveiled at the senate plenary on Tuesday, saying Nigerians should not be thrilled about the President's nominees because they are still the same 'regular team'.

Read Metuh's full statement below:

''The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has noted the list of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nominees, as announced by the Senate on Tuesday. The party said “by a mere look at the list, one can tell that there is nothing to be excited about, especially considering the length of time it took the President to come up with it”.

''PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Tuesday, 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 party said 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.''
