The National Publicity Secretary of the Yoruba Socio- political group, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin said yesterday that President Muhammadu Buhari would have submitted the names of ministerial nominees at Eagle Square rather than to the Senate.
Reacting to the speculated names of possible ministers, Odumakin who noted that there was nothing unique about the list, said the President did not surprise anyone.
According to him, the names were not worth waiting for, for a period of four months.
He said: “There is no excitement or surprise in the list. They are mostly run of the mill people that do not warrant waiting four months to have. Those names could have been submitted at Eagles square on May 29.”
Senate President Bukola Saraki Wednesday received the first twenty – one names of nominees to make President Buhari ministerial list , just as the names would be forwarded in batches.
It can be recalled that a former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi and his counterpart in Lagos, Babatunde Fashola were among the names forwarded to the senate.
Others in the list are, former governors, Anambra, Chris Ngige; Abia State, Ogbonaya Onu, Ekiti, Kayode Fayemi; a one time APC governorship flag bearer in Taraba, Aisha Alhassan,
Also said to be on the list are Kayode Fayemi, a former governor of Ekiti State; a former Governor of Anambra State, Chris Ngige; and a one-time Governor of Abia State, Ogbonaya Onu; Amina Mohammed; A former commissioner of Ogun State, Kunle Adeosun; Malami Abubakar (SAN) and the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Ibe Kachikwu Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteAppointing ministers is not all about nomination . It's about understanding the ministries and their needs and then putting people to address those needs. Finding out those needs is what any focused president should do before appointing ministers else you place the cart before the horse. I think this is what the President was doing
DeleteThe names are better than yours. You never supported change, you wined and dined with Jonadaft, took money from him, yet he lost. Get over your loss. Nigeria is moving forward.
ReplyDeleteOdumakin or what is it call. No body know u for Yoruba land go and sleep pls. U ar only trying to make urself relevant and u cannot earn that by mere open ur mouth and talk any how.
ReplyDeleteMany of the nominated persons are very corrupt. Honestly if it's what we waited for 4 months then Buhari is clueless
ReplyDeleteFrom the above comments, I see that you are also quite disappointed with the list because u guys didn't criticize what the man said but decided to attack his person......I believe every sane Nigerian is disappointed with this list of corrupt former PDP politicians occupying ministerial positions.....but why wait for 4 months to give us the same crap?...and nobody should mention screening for people of integrity or that dumb crap...except they were screening for those that showed PMB the most support during his campaign..... Its really surprising, honestly I was thinking he was trying to convince Nigerians from Harvard and Columbia Universities or Professors in various fields both home and abroad to become ministers NOT THESE PEOPLE.
