A former Governor of Kaduna state, Malam Balarabe Musa, says he is disappointed at President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list arguing that that there is nothing spectacular about the names.
According to him, “why did it take the President four months to come up with these names? I believe this is the question that many informed Nigerians should ask.
“These are the same old names, ordinary Nigerians who the President knows and he must have even met them several times. So, what is particular about them that he wasted so much time in appointing them ministers.
“But there are about two or three who I can say are distinguished among them like, Audu Ogbeh who I have known for a very long time.
We were together during the Second Republic. “He was a minister while I was governor then. Audu Ogbeh has an outstanding public record that everybody knows.”
The Senate President, Bukola Saraki announced to the Senators 21 ministerial nominees.
They were contained in the list forwarded to him last week Wednesday, September 30 by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The nominees are, Abubakar Malami (SAN): Abdurahman Bello Dambazzau; Aisha Jumai Al Hassan; Alhaji Lai Mohammed; Babatunde Raji Fashola; Adebayo Shittu; Solomon Dalong; Senator Chris Ngige; Rotimi Amaechi; and Chief Audu Ogbeh.
Others are, Mrs. Amina Ibrahim; Dr. Osagie Ehaneri; Emmanuel Kachukwu; Dr. Kayode Fayemi; Eng. Suleiman Adamu; Mrs. Kemi Adeosun; Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu; Hon. Ahmed Musa Bello; Ibrahim Usman Jubrin; Senator Hadi Serika; Senator Udo Udoma.
Senate President Saraki opened the sealed envelope at 10:45am.
According to him, the President sent the list to him through the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, adding that the list contained the first batch of nominees.
Senator Saraki who disclosed that the Senate would commence screening, tuesday 13, said that President Buhari had told him that subsequent names would come shortly.
4 months to pick spent politicians? Gross failure, too bad!
ReplyDeleteYou're absurd nonsense who are you to tell Nigeria this stupid old man
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing you can do to satisfy your enemies. What do we expect from the PDP and people like Balarebe Musa who have no focus. We saw what he did in the first Republic.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect from PDP and people like Balarebe Musa, you can never satisfy you enemies.
ReplyDeletepop man pls go and retire cos u are already tired
ReplyDeleteSentiments is not going to give u a better job or make light constant or add more money to ur account. The old man is right, to me it's only Ogbeh I see as a brilliant person in that list and maybe Fashola, the rest na wash. This is more of a compensation list than anything else. Naija don enter one chance.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I know is that Buhari will not get ministers from heaven, let us wait and see how they perform. Balarabe should relax.
ReplyDeleteAfter waiting for 120 days this is the list APC came up with? Why the wait if it's just biz as usual? Amechi has a case to ans and instead of answering it he went ahead to sue PDP which from the point of view of All Nigerian are the most corrupt pple on earth. We want to reward him with ministerial position for bringing Rivers state money to sponsor Buhari. This fight against corruption is becoming interesting.
ReplyDeleteNigerian Eye, you are not moderating these comments. People are insulted for expressing themselves and airing their views, I that is very bad for a platform like this. Just imagine some comments above insulting Malam Balarabe Musa, an elder stateman.
ReplyDeletePls do something urgently.
