Real Reason Buhari Has Not Named Ministers

The possible reason President Muhammadu Buhari has not yet named his cabinet emerged last night with the confirmation that he had been studying the report of the Transition Committee he set up to draw up a blueprint for his administration.

A top source who was part of the Transition Committee, said Buhari had been studying the report critically with a view to taking a final decision on the structure of his administration so as to deliver the promised change to Nigerians.

The report was submitted to the President in the first week of June 2015.

In the report, the committee recommended that community and state police should be used in Nigeria to check rising crime rate in the country.

It also recommended the establishment of crime forensic to enable the officers and men to tackle rising crime wave in the land.

It noted that in a bid to check the incessant removal of the Inspector General of Police, the suspension or removal of the IGP should be done with the approval of two thirds majority of the members of the National Assembly.

On how to ensure the success of the electoral system in Nigeria, the Joda Committee recommended the protection of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by ensuring that he could only be removed or suspended from office by a two-thirds majority of the National Assembly.
