Tunde Bakare, the serving
overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, says President Muhammadu Buhari did not
appoint ministers for six months because there was no money to pay them.
In an interview aired in Calgary,
Canada on Tuesday, the fiery preacher criticised
Buhari’s appointment of some square pegs in round holes — stating the minister
of budget, and national planning as an example.
“In Nigeria, what I have found
out is we put square pegs in round holes, and round pegs in square holes. For
example, the person in charge of budget and planning is a lawyer,” Bakare said.
“What experience has he gotten
other than federal character. You can begin to look at each ministry the same
way, and the civil service that is supposed to be the memory bank of
government, they’ve promoted mediocrity
“In Britain, in America, they go to Oxford, they go to Yale, they go to Harvard, and attract the best brains into civil service to formulate policies. 25 years down the road, we take the relics of society, the dropouts and we bring them in, and we expect to outperform those who have invested in those critical sectors of human capital development.
“What percentage of our annual
budget goes into education, and what percentage has gone into grass cutting and
cutlery? When it was made public that there were no sufficient drugs in the Aso
Villa clinic, the nation should have
known where their health is.”
