"I won’t appoint people who lack integrity as ministers' - Buhari says

Yesterday during his live programme on NTA, President Buhari said he won't appoint men and women who lack integrity as ministers in his cabinet.
"We will try as much as possible to avoid appointing hostages; by this, I mean people who have been in the system but compromised their personal and professional integrity. From what I have seen so far, we need very patriotic Nigerians to be ministers; Nigerians that can work very hard with knowledgeable experience; committed Nigerians to be in charge of ministries. A lot of institutions in Nigeria are compromised, everybody for himself and God for all of us. It is most unfortunate. We have people, educated and experienced people, but everybody seems to be working for himself on how much they could get away with as soon as possible.
We have to look for technocrats and politicians. We have to look out for decent people in this class to give them the responsibility of being in charge of ministries and important parastatals. It is taking so much time to appoint ministers because a number of knowledgeable people have been compromised. They have been compromised by people who will like to depend on them to damage our economy and security; a lot of them have been compromised. The worst thing that I think can happen is to get a compromised person to be in charge of institutions.
There is no way he could be efficient or patriotic. Somebody behind the scene will be manipulating him at the expense of the nation. This is what we are trying to avoid and I assure you that so much damage has been done to Nigeria. We cannot rush to give this responsibility to people that have unfortunately been compromised. This is because there is no way you can effectively supervise, let’s say 20 ministries, you have to give it to people you trust and you allow them to perform according to the Constitution of the country. If you appoint compromised people, then we will be back to square one and Nigeria will be the loser.” he said (Punch)

I KNOW ONE IN MY STATE O. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MAN SO UPRIGHT IN GOVERNMENT, HE WOULD REFUND IMPREST THAT HE HAS NOT USED. AS A 2 TIME COMMISSIONER, HE HAS BEEN IN GOVERNMENT FOR 8 YEARS AS A COMMISSIONER, YET HE HAS NO PERSONAL HOUSE. HE NEVER PARKS THE GOVERNMENT VEHICLE IN HIS HOUSE. I DO NO KNOW HIM ONE ON ONE, BUT THE TESTIMONY OF THIS MAN IS INCREDIBLE. I WISH I COULD RECOMMEND HIM TO YOU. HIS NAME IS PATRICK UGBE, FORMER COMMISSIONER FOR YOUTHS AND SPORTS, CROSS RIVER STATE. A GODLY MAN INDEED!

September is around the corner. Let's give him the chance to select rightfully his cabinet members(Ministers).

Slow and steady. I'd rather PMB be Baba go slow and achieve results than rush into things and our situation remains status quo. GOD help him choose people with integrity and who care for masses than those who plunge us continually. GOD bless 9ja.

Way to go Mr. President! Tell all those people that are calling you "Baba go slow" that it took Nigeria decades to be in this deplorable state and so would need extraordinary means to fix it. I belive he knows what he's doing, God be with him.

APPLE said...

We have heard, get on with it already baba go slow!!!! Please fight kwarokshion ( corruption ) lol

And the stories goes on..... I appreciate the initiative to not appoint people without integrity, however, the appointment of the INEC chairperson already shows partisanship and his various other appointments are smeared with tribalism. Especially when we perceive we have people like Tinubu who will nominate, we cannot take your words for it. Until i see the ministers appointed, every other thing is story.

Anonymous said...

Stories and Gist. Nominate already, hit the ground running, keep it moving and plsssss stop talking without action.

At this time of the day, this man is still looking for people to appoint. Are u sure u have the ability to run this nation effectively, PMB?

And u will still give slots to your corrupt political allies to appoint ministers of their choice.

I MAY DISAGREE WITH HIM SOMETIMES BUT I THINK HE IS THE CLOSEST TO WHAT SANITY LOOKS LIKE IN TERMS OF GOVERNANCE.

Arsenal said...

It's only Northerners that have integrity.
Still talking the talk rather than walking the walk.

The era of putting square pegs in round holes is over. With Buhari,everything boils down to integrity and capability. More reason why my respect for him never dwindles.He will take us there, with God and reputable people around him.

This is the man! Hmm a man with authority not gej dummy president the let the country wither

Good.

ANONN said...

This clearly means, if Rotimi Amaechi gets into that his cabinet, then he would have contradicted himself. Rotimi is about the most corrupt Ex-governor in the history of Africa and the fact that EFCC hasn't even invited him or his wife to come and answer questions knowing there's no more immunity now says a lot about how Buhari is going about the use of those anti-graft agencies. Looks like EFCC has reverted back to their use when OBJ was president; to witch-hunt the opposition. We just dey watch.

He should shup up already and get on with it. Believe me, this man has nothing to offer. He has no clear policy direction at all.

Sadly,it's citizens like you who would eulogise & hail a corrupt person in govt.as a good leader.I just pray this generation of youths do not reason the way you do.You are an embarasment to citizenship.

FRESH said...

Mention his name nau.We'll carry his integrity & name through.We need such people at the national front.

FRESH said...

Do you have ONE specific,actionable empirical evidence against Rotimi Amaechi? If not,pls shut up & stop slandering the man's name.

dontJme said...

I see nth but utter incompetence!!!
For crying out loud, APC won the election march 28! If he is a serious person he would have started screening the people he needs in his government and max.a month after inuaguration you make all ur appointments.

Even the saints he is looking for, does he have empirical evidence to prove that they are men and women of intergrity? or does he think the way govt officials steal money in the '90s is the same way they will be stealing this present time. If any minister performs below ur approved standard, u show the person the door. No time!

BH be killing like 20 people per hour and u are there observing, analysing and acting as sluggish as fuck.

I personally dont give a rat ass about ur ministerial appointment, just the military to quell bh and appoint someone as minister of power to sustain and improve on this improved power supply.

U can appoint 1000 ministers by 2018 for all I care!!
