“I also want to assure Nigerians that we will attend to the ministerial list expeditiously, but diligently. It is not going to be business as usual. We are going to properly screen the nominees, and only those who meet the constitutional and moral requirements will be cleared.
“We want Nigerians not to be agitated. September expires 12 midnight. The doors of the senate president are open 24 hours.”
Many times over the past three months, Buhari had maintained that his list of ministerial nominees will be sent to the senate on or before the last day of September
