President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Abakikli explained that many appointments in his administration were done solely on merit and proven track records.
‘‘Some of the people holding high positions in the government, like my ministers, will tell you that I didn’t know them from Adam.”
‘‘I just came across their names from the records and I worked with the records. I thank God that I have a very good team,’’ he said.
The President praised Gov. David Umahi for his development moves in the State, saying ‘‘the absolute commitment of the Governor to his position is very remarkable and I am very impressed.’’
He expressed gratitude to God and the people of Ebonyi for recognising his modest contribution to the country.
Buhari described Nigeria as a great country with incredible resources and highly talented people.
‘‘We should continue to pray to God that the elites that will be in charge of the country in the future fear God,’’ he said.
