The former minister in a statement said that nobody has the power to stop his reappointment into the president’s cabinet.

“There is nobody born of a woman that can stop my appointment if God wants it to be. I am not carried away by such sentiments”, Punch reports Dalung as saying during an interview session.

Although Buhari has not disclosed those who will be making it to his cabinet, the president had however, hinted that a woman will most likely retain the Finance Minister position.

“I think the biggest trust any leader will entrust, whether in a household, a town or a country is to give the treasury to the women. Since I came women are in charge of the treasury.

“So, I don’t think it is the number that matters, the fundamental thing is who hold the bag. Look at the treasury and look at the civil service,” the president had said in a statement.
