Senator Dino Melaye has noted
that there are so many square pegs in round holes in the President Muhammadu
Buhari’s administration.
Melaye said Buhari’s selections
were synonymous to someone wearing oversized shoes, adding that there were lots
of nepotism in the President’s appointments.
In an interview with Vanguard,
Melaye, a chieftain of the ruling party, said, “Let me tell you, in this
government, we have square pegs in round holes.
“You cannot give carpentry work
to a tailor and you expect him to perform. We need to rejig the economy
managers of this nation because you cannot give what you don’t have.
“Cabinet reshuffle has to do with
the ministers. We have strategic positions in this country that is
manned by
wrong people; a coach is as good as members of his team.
“The President cannot be minister
of petroleum, Minister of Internal Affairs but if he has good aides, the
economy will move because these people will be working within their terrain.
“If a tailoring work is given to
a carpenter, the output will be a beautiful nonsense.
“The president must rejig his
appointments. The president should forget about politics and bring out people
with vigour, better hands that will get the job done. Such people should be
involved in the process irrespective of the party they belong or their tribes.
“The SGF misbehaved because he
has never worked in any public service in his life before becoming the SGF.
“The SGF of a country is the
manager of the entire process of Governance. A man that is not imbibed and
indoctrinated in the act of civil administration or the rudiments of public
administration, definitely he will misbehave.
“His appointment is synonymous to
someone wearing an oversized shoe and this is applicable to other appointments
in this government, there are a lot of nepotism in appointment in this
government.
“Like I told you earlier, it’s
not all about party. Even the president is not an APC president but the president
of the federal republic of Nigeria including the witches and wizards of this
country. He is the president of everybody. Development process is national and
no one should be partisan about it.
“If you find a good man in PDP or
APGA that can do the job perfectly, appoint him or her in the interest of
National development than to bring an APC man that has no idea of what to do.
“Today in this country there is
an organization headed in this country by a lawyer, what do we expect from such
appointment? We have ministers that have no cognate experience at all on where
to serve.”
