Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, today begged President Muhammadu Buhari to give him the privilege of nominating an Ekiti State indigene for appointment into Buhari’s cabinet.
Fayose, who was one of Buhari’s biggest opponents in the run-up to the March presidential election, said this in a statement on Tuesday.
The governor said he had written to Buhari and was hopeful that the President’s reply would be favourable.
Fayose said, “I shall be happy to nominate a worthy and competent professional, who can always oblige Your Excellency and your cabinet the benefit of a second opinion in the serious business of governance.”
He noted that he wrote the letter based on the declaration made by the President that he would put the overall interest of the country above every other particularly political partisanship and bias.
He said even former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, appointed the late Chief Bola Ige as the Minister for Justice despite Ige being a chief of the opposition Alliance for Democracy.
The governor also hinted that his letter was on the strength of Section 147 sub (2) and (3) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which states: (2) Any appointment to the office of the Minister of the government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any such person to such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President. (3) Any appointment under sub-section (2) of this section by the President shall be in conformity with the provision of section 15 (3) of this constitution provided that in giving effect to the provision aforesaid, the President shall appoint at least one Minister from each state, who shall be an indigene of such state.
Fayose, who noted that Ekiti is a PDP state, where the governor, the National Assembly and the state Assembly members are all PDP members, said in the spirit of putting in place an all inclusive government with capacity for national integration, the President should accord him the honour and privilege to name the minister that would come from Ekiti State.

ReplyDeleteFayose is a lunatic
ReplyDeleteI will not be surprised if Fayose has not created his ministerial list in Ekiti state.
ReplyDeleteAll of u commented below are fools,did he beg?he has given u d reason y he said so,y do u ve to call him names? Is it not his state? Is he not d governor?how can APC member be nominated for pdp state?dis is just common sense,he is right to ask for it.how can APC minister and pdp state work togeda?either Oni or Fayemi?won't dey be looking for ways to impeach him as dats APC way.please check ur brain before making comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks u really make sense
DeleteAdewale Korede it is kinda foolish of you to regard to all that comments against your own believe as fools. Also, it is foolish of you to assume that ministerial appointments has anything to do with what party is ruling a particular state. Ministers are appointed to head a ministry for the furtherance of the central governments agenda and not to be in alignment with any states ruling party. Buhari of his own accord might chose to appoint a minister from any other party, and he might chose to accept input from such party's leadership. However, I doubt he will be taking advise from the likes of Fayose
Delete"how can APC minister and pdp state work togeda?" From that question Korede asked, I guess PDP states like Ekiti would be ruled in isolation and wouldn't work with the FG as it is APC. Korede, you asked stupid questions
DeleteOn a serious note, I think Fayose needs a comprehensive brain scan. I keep asking; how did Ekiti people get themselves in this situation?
ReplyDeleteThese Fayose traits are medical symptoms of malady. When a man starts dancing to no music / sound, we do not need an oracle to tell us that he has already lost touch with nature....Bam Bam
fayose is a mad man
ReplyDeleteis mad
ReplyDelete@ Wale Korea. I think the names calling much more befits you. The question I want to ask you is very simple. I bani koto was nominated on the platform of PDP to represent Lagos. Is lagos a PDP state?
ReplyDeleteAlways look at the trend if issues before participating in discussions.
Point of correction: Obanikoro was nominated by Lagos PDP members and not by governor Fashola or APC members.
DeleteOgogoro in action. Hw many APC states sent Obasanjo or Jonathan ministerial list Alika?
ReplyDeleteFayose did not beg but wrote to Buhari on ministerial nomination. I think the confusion is from Nigerian Eye. That caption does not befit this write up. I think Fayose has every right like every Nigerian to communicate with the president of his country on any issue irrespective of the difference in religion, ethnic and political affiliation. President Buhari is the president of Nigeria and not the president of APC.
ReplyDelete10:13am president that fayose wished death for but u are funny come to think of it is too early for fayose to start affiliating himself with his formerly hack enemy lol.
ReplyDeleteFayose did not beg but wrote on ministerial nomination. Abi??You people are mad fellow.will Jonathan accept anybody from the opposition party into his cabinet?? Abeg Arrange for vehicle & bring Cayuse to Abeokuta psychiatric hospital b/4 he starts removing cloths
