The  Peoples Democratic Party has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently constitute his cabinet, warning that a delay may further affect the country’s economy.

The PDP  also called on the President not to “run the country into recession again with his know-it-all attitude”.

The National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, who spoke with our correspondent on Monday, said it was disheartening that the President had yet to name his ministers more than three months after winning the presidential election.

Secondus alleged that the delay by the President in naming his ministers in 2015  contributed to plunging the country into recession.
