Tunde Bakare, the general overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly has said empty treasury made President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint ministers lately.
Mr Buhari after he was sworn in as president ran the government without ministers for six months, which economists say was responsible for recession the economy went into.
Mr Bakare’s account differs from that of the presidency which blamed the administration of former president, Goodluck Jonathan, for the delay in constituting the cabinet.
Mr Jonathan, in his new book titled ‘My Transition Hours,’ pushed back the blame.
For the cleric, the president wasted time in constituting his cabinet because there was no money to pay them.
He stated this in a interview he granted Heritage Media in Calgary, Canada.
Bakare said Buhari did not assemble the best cabinet that will turn things around unlike those of his predecessors.
