How many ministers does this man need to keep running the country into the ground? It appears that the closer we get to the 2015 elections, the more everyone is appointed a minister. Shame, shame, shame!

ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely politics of give and take, I give u a ministerial appointment u get me more vote from your region. Its as simple as ABC...more are still coming let's keep our finger crossed
ReplyDeleteYes, that's what is called politics or do you want him to nominate someone who will not vote for him. When your god El-Rufai sold government property to his children and wives, he said he couldn't have sold land to his enemies. Meanwhile, ministerial appointments is enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria. All states must be represented in the cabinet. You get it now?
