The race to get political appointments in
the forthcoming Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress
government has begun, Saturday PUNCH learnt on Friday.
It was learnt in Abuja that although
consultations for cabinet and National Assembly positions are still
on-going, the manoeuvre among Buhari’s loyalists for political
appointments has begun.
Saturday PUNCH gathered that for now, top
on the list of appointments expected to be made by the President-elect,
include but not limited to the National Security Adviser and the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Although the APC leaders are currently
seeking to consolidate on last week’s victory in the Presidential and
National Assembly elections, they are not oblivious of the task ahead.
The position of NSA is usually considered
the exclusive preserve of the President and the appointment of a new
NSA by the President-elect, himself a retired Army-General, is expected
to be swift.
However, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, dismissed what he called “speculations” about appointments.
