President-elect Buhari appeared to have dashed the hopes of the governors elected on the platform of the APC when he rejected their plans to submit a ministerial list to him.
The APC governors, led by Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, had, last Tuesday, visited Buhari in Abuja to pledge loyalty and make some demands. At the meeting, some requests were placed on the table openly, while the request to drop the list of possible ministers came up for discussion behind the closed door.Sources close to the meeting between the governors and General Buhari indicated that the state chief executives came out of the visit with heavy minds.
Planning to maintain the tradition already instituted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) where the state governors as party leaders in the states are requested to submit list of possible ministers and Ambassadorial appointees to the president, the governors threw the request at Buhari.
But it was learnt that the General rejected the proposal and declared that the Constitution does not mandate him to take a list of ministerial nominees from them.
The president-elect was also said to have rejected the call for a bailout for the states that have been unable to pay salaries, with a source informing Sunday Tribune that the General flatly rejected the proposal, saying the he was aware the Federal Government was not owing the states their allocations.
A source close to the discussion told the Sunday Tribune that General Buhari told the governors that those of them in their second terms could not complain about the state of government finances, as they have all been collecting allocations from the Federal Government all along.
The source quoted Buhari as saying that “I do not think we can discuss that issue of Ministerial list. The Constitution clearly does not mandate me to take a list from the governors. To me, the governors should concentrate on getting good hands to help them in discharging their duties in the states.”

#LIB OBI
Buhari ..please it's only God u should fear I beg..don't fear all theses currupt governors etc..nothing do u
Wah oh I think change has indeed come. I pray he stands his ground to the end.
People large voted for Buhari not APC as a party. They should, at least to a large extent, give him a free hand to do the job. ministerial appoint should be given to those who can deliver. Buhari has good intention for the counrty
My fingers r so crossed...
Sai Babaaaaaa. Era of change is finally here!
Sai baba
Lolzz! Change don strt glad its strting with them(APC).
Nice one..
Yes i support buhari, he is right.
If this is true then the Nigeria state is on the right direction
Can't wait to see the drama unfolds starting May 29.
Lol @ur hand no dey. Dats politics for u o
That is certainly a way to go. The PDP messed up everything creating the ubiquitous governors. It's time to set things right.
Ghen ghen.. Na serious matter. Change has come!
In GMB we trust!
Change of seat, change of party, change of policies.
For those who thought Buhari'd be subject to the whims n caprices of some phantom godfathers...you'd better think again.
Change is here and it's here to stay!
Gobe.! Ewa ba mi ri gobe.!!! Saisaiiiiii baba...!
I doubt dis story cos if he can select Silva former governor has issue w EFCC and Atiku to rep him in SA(Atiku and Baba Iyabo has a case to answer with Haliboutin bribe and PTF ) yet he did not see anything bad with dat. I cannot believe dis story.
Gbam! Supported!!
Hahahahaa,,, this is just the beginning,, the big drama will unfold soon after swearing in... I am still laughing in Swahili style....
This is just the beginning and soon just very soon,, you guys will see the real deal
This is a good one General,do not let them run your government if you really want to do a wonderful job for your country.That is how they started with Goodluck and now is your turn.They should go and do their various work in their respective States and be good governors to their peoples.
Hmmm
APC trying to sell dummy to us.Was it not yesterday d news of wat his ministers and house members will take home was all over d news and pple were bashing him. I feel d want to create an impression dat d needed change has come.Somebody dat even said dat Abacha did not steal any moni even when there was evidence to prove it. I don't believe dis story.LIARS
@linda,your hand no dey ever dey for anything that has to do with integrity
Look around u chinwe uba,see anyone who gives a fuck about what u think??I didn't think so
Whatever case Atiku and Baba Iyabo have is another story,it's another thing to represent somebody in another country,when the time comes for the Efcc to indict these people watch and see,General would spare head the investigation and Godwilling if they are found guilty,Buhari will personally make sure they go to Prison! As for now by the law,they are innocent until proven guilty.
I pray the time has come when hard work, diligence and dedication to duty is considered a qualification, not circumstances of birth, loyalty to one man instead of nation and boot and ynash licking.
@chinwe uba,if you're not intelligent enough to grasp what you read atleast try to be quiet and learn instead showcasing your stupidity worldwide.What has he got to do with his ministers' take home pay when he hasn't been sworn in yet??He said Abacha didn't steal but he never said Abacha's wife and kids didn't steal you dingbat!
D General
una neva chi chom tin
Omg if this is true, i love buhari so much, hopeful wip this governors into shape, greedy bastards
Sai Buhari
Sai Baba
Cool, that's incredible.
We shall see.... They can not cover this pregnant for long time that's all I know.

Expect anything when an old soldier is the president
I told you people not to vote for this idiot but una no hear me now u can see
If you didnt vote him then shut the fuck up and dont congratulate him. You didnt vote him means u dint belive in him or u Were biased. Odeh
I will advise chinwe uba to read very well before making st..id comments,or better still sh.t up.
Who the hell are you again? And who really cares of what u feel? I know your problems are more than the whole problem in nigeria thats why its hard to see something good and acknowledge it. Mofo.!
Ghan!Ghan. I def saw this coming. This is just the tip of the iceberg... More drama yet to unfold.
the drumbeat is faster. The dancers are shaking furiously like a people in a feverish stupor. The ground creaks from the size of the impending quake. Perhaps Nigeria will finally change. Osula! Oya, Rochas, please give an accounting for ihe ejiri ego civil servants me, since e batara office. Rotimi Amaechi, how far now? Kilo happen? Others, zamanu. The guy no even ask question. him just declare wetin make sense to am - if you received allocation, you were supposed to manage it, and it shoulda sufficed, so time for Dr Nkowa to appear on the scene. ha ha ha ha ha. I go dey watch drama for Lindy Ikeji express.
It's really not a story but facts that needs to be heard but I wouldn't know the best source to get my messages across to Our President Elect.
Our dear Country is In need of transformation which we all know. But having creative and innovative ideas which will help this Country generate more funds and create job opportunities for people, and your views can't be heard simply because some people are rightfully, if I may say are assumed to own particular positions in the government is sad and terrible.
It's 2am now and instead of enjoying my sleep as most people are doing now, am awake worried and thinking of how to help my Country and it's citizens get the better lives they deserve.
Tourism is the key to one aspect.
First , the citizens of this country do not have any sort/kind of leisure center and/activities. Nothing is working, if any it's almost dead. We need an inspiring environment, fun but creative. Where people can relax, enjoy, think calmly and create mind blowing ideas. People are stuck with beer parlors, eateries and very few relate with cinemas. Kids have no adventures to motivate their educational background practically. Before you can attract foreigners into your country for tourism, the citizens should be able to testify to it's satisfaction.
Young people are smarter and more creative, we travel out of this country to enjoy what other countries has set up. WHY CAN'T WE SET UP OURS?_???
There are many talented people in this country, people who have wonderful ideas of things that can be done to elevate this nation from it's current position.
But how can the authorities hear us out???? HOW.
Mr President - Elect, this country will benefit beyond measures if and only if you are willing to hear me out. And am certain of other incredible ideas that my peers have too.
We are the future, I am the future, we can't build the future tomorrow, we start TODAY.
Frofaganda!
Wake up gullible Nigerians!

" IF DIS NEWS IS CORRECT " den maybe he will be good in some areas.But boko haram are still his children.
This is leadership solidly rooted in the constitution.
Nice one, all those criminals thinking after rigging elections they will nominate their croonies to loot at federal level can see clearly now that the time of NAIRA rain in government is well in the past.
I wish Buhari well and continue to pray for God's guidance in his government.
Why are the same people in government, nominating ministers. How can those who are not related/friends with the people in government, participate in changing this country???? There are few positions on that list that requires the active creativity, innovation, and vision of younger generation. We have intelligent people who have mind blowing ideas on how to help this country achieve the required change it needs. But no, you will not allow them to share their ideas with this nation. I have been awake all through the night, thinking, creating ideas and facts, things I know will help boost our economy as well as provide massive job opportunities.
Mr President Elect, this is not about APC/PDP/APGA/ politics. It's about doing the right thing, implementing the right steps to achieve the great CHANGE we all look forward to.
I am not a politician, but simply a citizen who knows that I and other creative, smart and intelligent people out there has what it takes to effectively change the financial and unemployment status of our beloved country. If only we can be accorded the opportunity.
@Chinwe, why can't you be positive even for ones. God Bless Nigeria!
If this is true then the change Nigerians voted for is coming. However the governors are not ready for that change it seems.
Expect many more changes Mr Governors. U Ave been told, focus on ur states!
U are entitled to ur lousy opinion sis, use ur brain to think not ur tommy.
I wish this is all true. Merits should be the basis for appointment and no longer 'who knows who'. Change upon us.
Who were those morons who were saying that the FG is responsible for paying state workers salaries being owed in places like Osun? They were busy running their mouths because it was GEJ's Govt that was stating this fact. Now that Buhari has said the same, it's Sai Baba?
SMH!
That's how these people bombarded Jona with lists of ministerial appointments. Filled his. cabinet with plenty useless leaders that even till today,don't k ow their left from their right. The same group of people have come again for Buhari to wreck his government. Make e no gree oh.
Pls Let May the 29th arrive fast, it is taking 2 long, real Nigerian ppl cannot wait!!!!
The status quo has to change. Thumbs up to Buhari.
If this is true, then I must commend Gmb.
Its unfortunate Gej got into such mess and was ridiculed at long run. Pray God gives him wisdom and unbiased mind to rule Nigeria.
Please I will want to re-vote for Buhari
finally change has come to Nigeria
If this report is true, my respect for him multipled by 1000%!!!
This is a good begin, honestly change has come to naija
Ode! Uba, gtb or whatever ur name is, buhari didn't make the constitution that provided for the bloated allowances.he's meeting it too so how is it his fault.oloshi somebody
@Btw-D-lines,Linda ikeji is all about integrity.Stop being so bitter about everything.My advice;always drink a bottle of honey every morning to sweeten your "bitterleaf" heart. .......You are welcome.
Did you really mean Nigeria state LOL
My brother,you are not alone.This is propaganda by the APC.
Seeing is believing.
I voted for buhsri ooo not APC toute ,sai baba
@Chinwe uba,I am glad that there is still a honest and intelligent person on LIB.
I thought I was the only one that knew that the information was cooked up by the APC for the public.
Ghen ghen!
Ghen ghen! The bushmeat don catch the Hunter.... #Danburhuba!
Looooooollllll Yoruba ppl be like : "Thank God we came in second ! #Change! see i told you we can do it ! We plotted, strategized and now we are 'appy for coming in behind the winner. Second for life !!!!!! lollll
una never see anything. when OBJ couldnt control GEJ. It is you ppl (Tinubu etc) that want to control Buhari lollll. By the end of Year 4 u go see.
Uuuuj orgasmic bliss. If this is true, then I truly can't wait for this man to start.
*cries in bourdillonic tears*
Either Asiwaju has already given him a list.........which I strongly believe or He really has a mind of his own.....
Either ways good one
This story is not true joor (Gullible Nigerians)
#bushbeninboy
I'm beginning to like thus man. He doesn't send anyone
In GMB "U" trust. In God Almighty I trust
Linda u no go public my comment? Haba this not the first time.
I think we need to pray more for Mr Buhari. These are the right steps he is taking but will the wicked souls allow him to complete his good works?
Na dem sabi
Na wa oooooo
Chinwe, by now your thumbs should be in your mouth. Can you just get a grip?
The Gen. has spoken...
Waiting for actions. May 29. Enough talks. Nigerian citizens need action, positive change. God bless Nigetia
Especially that Rochas,he's a 100 in one criminal,God will punish him,he's just a disappointment to my state
Lol. Sai baba indeed
Buhari is a PIOUS Man.
...largely
Sai Baba!
Bro when you read, pls read with your mind open...that was what they earned under gej and what they will. be paid....baba has nothing to do with the #9billion...we just hope baba wud cut the pay....election is gone....we all belong to thebig. partynigeria...stop reading with your brain aand mind closed bcos of. the dislike u av 2wrds him
Buhari has a mind of his own and cannot be teleguided. #Thisisbuhari4u
Hehe I find this amusing. Way to go sir!. This is only the beginning buhahaha
Wait... I hope this is true right, *sigh*
Can see you despise good things and good news in life. Bigotry kills by eating deep in the heart like concentrated H2SO4. Did Buhari arrange how much political office holders are being paid from outside government or you are just being knowingly daft and dumb?
Tejan stop being a dumbass.
Awaiting may 29th
... if you don't slap your friend, your enemy will not run
Sai Baba carry on
And somebody will say continuity is better than change,APC for life sai baba
Keep wallowing in pessimism and cynicism while optimistic compatriots are have already boarded the real progressive train.
Chinwe uba hahahahaha it is clear you are PDP and a sore loser at that...Even if it is just 10% of truth that is hinged to this ministerial list story. ..I am wiling to believe it... I have faith that the change we need is here...If you are not an enemy of the country Chinwe uba. ..you will have faith. Have faith for the good of the nation.
Na bad belle go kill you. Mark my words
Na bad belle go kill you. Mark my words
Buhari means "war against Indiscipline" The dissidents will "run back with empty stomach" Buhari belongs to CPC, and will seperate the sheep from the goats. But the truth is that Buhari knows that action is his only selling point even for four years: Its about Nigeria not APC. Just use them and dump them(ole dem be)stealing by tricks, stole their state's govt money for FG to pay, that is why they blame Jonathan for disagreeing to pay for unapproved road contracts etc. Buhari follow your mind, I didn't support you because of these people but one gbosa from me and if you continue, gbosa! gbosa! gbosa!
Na bad belle go kill you. Mark my words

Still to early to mate conclusions. He still had to devise a mechanism to identify qualified and best people to appoint from every state because of the federal character constitutional requirement.
Doubting Thomas! What do you believe in? igbos like you are the ones who deface the entirety of igbos.
Why are you so negative? Oh! Tribune's report is false abi? Go and open your own Newspaper company. Nonsense!!!!! Mtscheeeeew
Let's give him time and support needed to be successful pls
Let's give him time and support needed to be successful pls
Learned Obasanjo has a three ministerial slot guaranteed for campaigning for Buhari...
let him turn OBJ down too!!
Then and only then would I hail him for taking such a bold step....
Thank you.This is something worth celebrating if true but that's the one she doesn't want to be a part of.You lack integrity madame.shame on you.But you are almost having an orgasm cos you are hoping it will cause a fight.Shouldn't you encourage and promote this kind of news?isn't this what we have been craving for?
You are definitely an educated illiterate.GMB has and APC have no hand in the nonsense Linda mischievously posted yesterday.can people not yet in power pay salaries?Please go back to school and take others with you.
The General has spoken! Anybody wey no like should go & jump into the lagoon. Linda take note!

Hmmmmmmm I tink he is back to correct his wrongs....ride on general*thumbs up#
The President-elect actually prepares for governance. Sai Baba!!! Double Tuale!!!
Social media keeps giving us lies and half truth information. That is how you people told us that the nigerian budget was passed by the house with no subsidy provision included. We later found out from okonja iweala that the info was a black lie. Abegi spear us all this fake stories , the man go soon enter and we go know whether they submitted names or not.
They should expect more rejections bcos GMB is no push around.
let them deceive me, who owns tribune? mscheaw
If this is true then i applaud him.
Mmmmmmmm how true is this mbok!
U are very correct my dear
U are very correct my dear
Uba u are a fool blinded by hatred of Niger ian state, people. Like u still want the darkside of tribal sentiment it a shame ur comment at this time will remain void.
This is good news
This is certainly a clear distinction of someone who knows what to do and, someone who is being told what to do. I wanna believe Nigerians will be better for it as, we have just got a REAL PRESIDENT/LEADER.
sia baba u need change
Exactly! Iys the prerequisite of thw Cmmander general of the federation to choose his own Miniaters.. God bless Buhari and grant him the strength to rule this Nation justly, brilliantly and succesfully for the good of all hardworking and patriotic Nigerians
The governors should go and appoint their commissioners who will help them to run their states Our president elect should not by any means accept it. If he should allow them they will ruin his government GMB should take a clue from the present government before you know it they will send names of those who help them to get to power by all means so that they will not be disturbing them. Appointment should be by merit not selection.
I dont know if its true but if it is, I am not surprised at all
I LOVE THAT
Does it look like anyone cares about what u believe...abegi !!!
3 Gbosa for Buhari, GBOSA! GBOSA! ! GBOSA!!!
They think he is Jonathan. Sai Buhari!!!!
Vultures want to make their cronies and brothers in law Ministers. Be this is the change am talking about! Buhari is the real change.
This is how they ruined Jonathan who had good intentions. It starts with a seemingly harmless Ministerial list. We need men like Jega in this new Nigeria. They exist. Buhari should find them, if he needs help as Nigerians!
No more "come chop level" change has come.
My tongue out for this who told me that Buhari is someone's stooge!
This is one reason I confidently campaigned for Buhari. You guys see the look on osibanjos face? (Like irritated by the govs and they are in for more surprises ahead!!) may God be with these leaders!
Mac10...

Nigerians shouldn't be impressed with this na, if they talk this one today tomorrow them go change am! Naso the change wan take start? See the way governor rochas sat as if he's catching cold
Tejan! No one trained you
haha see as dem ford dem hands for room like chicken wey cold dey catch, Imo governor dey owe him people ooo...School don go strike.. Mad Governors
That is a good beginning. I hope he will keep it up and not allow these gullible politicians to take back to status quo where corruption is the order of the day.
Tejan is an erotic sumthg, he thinks with his ass.
Pls chain urself no vex! U can't tell someone to shut d hell up for not voting ur candidate. Shallow minded fellow
I agree with u Jossy! We need to keep praying for hom
You mean yoruba pple? Who on earth wants to control buhari? Pple voted for him cos of his principles not in order to be controlled. Tinubu doesnt speak for d yoruba race love.
And what abt all d millions of yorubas dt strategized & plotted to bring bk jonathan? Or did all yorubas & yoruba states vote buhari?
Pls theres yoruba pple & theres APC. 2 different things. Idiot. Lots of yorubas didnt even vote obj. You think we're elementary politicos like you dt only see tribe.
And im so sure 101% of igbos will vote APC next time if their candidate is igbo. Predictable losers. Always thinking from ur backsides & not ur head is d reason u cant get an alliance to rule this country.
Lol @ see the look on osibanjo' face#
As for linda,I blame u for all these,stop posting tinx yet bou buhari,let's all chill,no fighting...
If this report is true, then my respect for Buhari is multiplied by 100.
the idea is good and i will propose it to buhari
Please allow him do what is best for the nation and not be unnecessarily influenced by some bigwigs, unless for something genuinely good. My hope is that Buhari orders honest investigation into the kidnap of Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Udemba(https://emmanueludemba.wordpress.com. That man's family has been suffering a lot.Please help.
If that's truly the case, GMB is actually starting off on the right foot. This is democracy - a system of due process: no sleazing allowed. If he goes by the law in his dealings, he will have righted his past wrongs in his era of dictatorship; prevented any iota of foreseeable aura of impeachment by trespass and wrongful assumption of disposition.
I wish him what he wishes Nigeria and Nigerians.
In God we trust.
