Dear Nigerians this (could) be your ministers under Buhari

I know the guys at BreakingTimes and sometimes, they know some things we don't know. According to a special report they released today, some of these men could be our ministers under Buhari. BT presented a list of some of the likely incoming Ministers and their corresponding portfolios based on info they gathered from sources close to Buhari. See below...

1.Petroleum Minister - Prof Tam David (He was Minister of Petroleum and Energy under Buhari from 1984-1985)
2. Finance Minister – Dr. Idika Kalu (he's a two-time Minister of Finance)
3. Education Minister – Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi (former Minister of Youth Development and later Minister of Sports under Jonathan)
4. Justice Minister – Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN (Attorney General of Ondo State from 1997–1999. Chairman of the Legal Aid Council from 2005–2006 and Tinubu loyalist)
5. Culture and Tourism Minister – Dele Momodu (Ovation International Publisher and former presidential candidate of the National Conscience Party, NCP)
6. Information Minister – Sam Nda Isaiah (publisher of Leadership Newspaper, contested for APC presidential ticket)
7. Works Minister – Babatunde Fashola (former Lagos state governor)

Interesting! Does it mean that we don't have young brains to occupy these roles? @ Tam David, after 30years of becoming Minister is still looking for office? Na wa oh! SMH, I feel the younger generations are clueless? Imagine the Grand fathers that destroyed Nigeria are been given a second chance? SMH burhai, was just a mistake.

I see only one out of these men capable of creating and driving most desire change Nigerians are clamoring for.
At best ,most of them should play advisory roles,period. If not , we will not have a sharp departure from the past. We need men and women,tested technocrats who can create marginally impact within shortest possible time.We have many of them around the world.Real Men.Real Men are not corrupt.They think of common men.
More also ,till date,no Minister of Health achievement surpassed that of Late Prof Olukoye Ransome Kuti.We need such men.GMB ,go for these men!!!

I personally think that Tam David West though tested and competent ,is too old to manage the all important petroleum ministry.Each time I listen to him talk I just feel he is becoming Senile and wouldn't be able to cope with modern day requirements for the petroleum ministry.My thoughts though!

They will all be given a ministerial position. Very well qualified people most especially David West for petroleum and Fashola will equally be good for works and Ezekwesi might be good for finance too. She was a former director with World Bank

Fashola right post...

Anonymous said...

Have you thought to see if he has the pedigree or he worked for the Buhari campaign organization as opposed to being a supposed tinubu loyalist that was put up there? Do your research before you jump into baseless conclusions. Aketi worked tirelessly for the Buhari campaign and is a lawyer with impeccable pedigree so YES he deserves to be the AGF.

Kulikuli said...

Fashola should be either Secretary to Government (House reordering)or something similar to Supervising Minister (Buhari needs it!) or Chief of Staff. Fashola as a nominal minister will be under utilized. Tam David West is blessed with longevity but let him not turn a good thing morbid. At 90 he should turn down even a board appointment. There are so many serious problems at the petroleum ministry now that not even Amaechi can handle them. There must be one good head from South South, and he need not be a politician.

Miss Port Harcourt said...

Bonario you are mad ni? Why didn't you include Rt.Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. Please he shouldn't be left out.

Was he an Engr when he supervised construction of Roads in Lagos? Or Developed the BRT Bus system? Or successfully Beautified Areas in Lagos we never felt Possible?

My Brother, Fashola has shown he can deliver results when presented with really difficult situations. Left to me, I'd hv beenhappier if he was made Minister of Power. Cos dats our major problem. And we need a Sound and Fearless individual to resuscitate that Sector. Someone like Fashola.

Look @ Tam, loved so much by the colonial oil pwrs, that devastated the entire Nig environment/economy, above reproach, yet they found a way 2 slip a Rolex Watch on his wrist which ended up being the principle reason y the Nig Dictators put him in jail.
Look @ Idika Kalu, dragged Nig kicking & screaming, into the IMF. Nig has never, will never recover. & on & on & on.
Pls Buhari, reconsider. Putting new wine in2 old wine skin? Mhm, not sure!!!!!!

Tam David West is a very poor choice. It would be extreme laziness on GMB's part to pick T D West. The criminal bought that carcass M T Tuma vessel that never worked for one day and sacked all the people in NNPC that opposed the deal. They were all proved right in their opposition to the purchase in the end. The man just made money for himself at Nigeria's cost. GMB cannot start on such a poor note.
