the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, to a former Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola Why I gave Fashola three ministries.
Many critics, including the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), had criticised the President for assigning the portfolios to the
ex-governor, arguing that it would overwhelm him, which would result to
underperformance.
But Buhari said Fashola's outstanding performance in
Lagos State for eight years prepared and qualified him for his present
office.
Speaking in an interview with a magazine, The
Interview, Buhari said Fashola is a hard working man who has proven to
be an excellent performer.
“The economic realities demanded that we merge ministries and we did," he said.
“Putting three critical ministries under one man was determined by the ability to perform.
