Speaking in an off-the-record chat with a set of journalists in Abuja, the source said that President Buhari was reluctant to build on a “rotten foundation” he inherited from the PDP administration.
The source who is close to the President, but who is not authorised to speak publicly regarding the issue said: “You cannot even begin to imagine the situation we have met on the ground.”
He added: “Almost everything is in a state of decay. There is absolutely no way the new government can hope to achieve anything long-lasting without first building a new foundation.”
The president plans to cut down the number of ministries and parastatals,” he said.
“He wants to cut down the cost of running government. He wants to make sure that all the loopholes that enable corruption to thrive are blocked.
“All these are procedures that require time and careful planning. You cannot do it in a rush.”
