ReplyDeleteUseless
ReplyDeleteOkay so he promoted him na. Why the silly headline
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Na real Silly Headline
DeleteMany has forgotten that we have six political zones in this country. Each zone with a seat. Where does Buhari misfire?
ReplyDeleteIt is well. Let's see how this drama ends. Although it doesn't spell a happy ending.
ReplyDeletePple will jst be writing without reading he is still the minister for petroleum and chairman of the board. Our media re not helping issues the way they present a statement matters alot
ReplyDeleteYou are a bloody illiterate if you can't see the northernization agenda in this. Buhari is fast-tracking Nigeria's break up!
DeleteAPC! Were pe change!
ReplyDeleteThe norther agenda continues in every sector of the polity. As far as Mallam Buhari is concerned, only Mallams can do the job. No southerner is good enough for the Mallam
ReplyDeleteBuhari is making all the mockery appointment because there is no reliable opposition in the polity, the only opposition which should have been PDP are busy shooting themselves on the foot and playing hide and seek with the EFCC. May God help this country.
ReplyDeleteStupid reporting!
ReplyDeleteI will be fair to all sectors says PMB,where are his supporters?is dis how to be fair to all?
ReplyDeleteIn the Nigerian Agenda the GMD is the powerful boss and the chairman just norminal. The minister of state can be bye passed by the president who is the minister and do his business with the GMD. The minister of state will be there to attend useless meetings the minister cannot be bothered to attend and can only act the script of the all powerful minister in the person of the Buhari who is also the president. If the president meant well and have rightfully constituted a board why is he still holding onto the petroleum ministry. Is he wiser than anybody in the board or collectively? What does he really know that he wants to bring to NNPC.
ReplyDeleteBuhari is only putting 🔥 on the fuel. Let him remain the minister until he wont have any barrel of oil or gas to manage then the chicken will come home to roost. The Avengers keep up the good worker to flush out all the bandits laying seige on your God given resources. Continue to humuliate tbe bigot and his idiotic cohorts. You don't need the twitter just keep acting your victory is certain.
This calls for serious concern if oil is still what Nigeria is still holding on t whereas there urgent matters on ground... Where do we go from here? I for one believe time will tell. Nigerians should do less talking and go for a serious businesses of getting together to avoid a total break of law and order. Enough is enough! We're being overstretched in this country
ReplyDeleteMallam,Mallam,Mallam every where. May God deliver Nigeria from all this Mallam.
