He expressed optimism that the president would pick the new ministers within the first 100 days of his administration (by September 6, 2015).

Kasali noted that Buhari should not be tagged as ‘Baba Go Slow’, said the leader of the country was analysing the situation to ensure nomination and appointment of the most competent and reliable politicians available. The cleric emphasised on the importance of transferring the key ministries and parastatals into the right hands.

Kasali said the situation with the National Assembly leadership was a step backwards from ‘change’, reminded him of the ‘old order’.

Previously, President Buhari was defended by his own political kinsmen. First of all, Malam Garba Shehu, a presidential spokesperson, commented on the issue of #BabaGoSlow hashtag, said Buhari had to deal with the ‘mess’ left by the previous administration.

Secondly, John Odigie-Oyegun, the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, stated that Buhari was taking deliberate steps to make Nigeria a better country, dismissed all the ‘Baba go slow’ jokes and insinuations.

Finally, the president reacted to ‘Baba go slow’ personally, during his official visit to the USA, said he intended to “go slow and steady”.
