Nigerians have asked President
Muhammadu Buhari not to include Chris Ngige, ex-minister of labour and
employment as well as Adamu Adamu, ex-minister of education, in the list of
ministers that would work with him in his second term in office.
Following the dissolving of the
cabinet by President Buhari on the midnight of May 29, 2019, an online poll conducted by SaharaReporters asking Nigerians to pick who they did not want
President Buhari to be reappointed based on their performances.
The poll had the Minister of
Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; Minister of Labour and Employment,
Ngige; Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole; and Adamu.
23,357 Nigerians participated in
the poll with 40% of votes going to Ngige, while Adamu came next in the line
for firing with 24%.
Fashola, whom many Nigerian had
tipped to perform exceptionally as a minister, received fewer votes with 21%
and Adewole got 15% of the votes.
Giving reasons for their votes,
some Nigerians said the aforementioned ministers were not competent enough and
could not surpass the citizens' expectations.
Many, however, said all the
ministers should be dropped, urging Buhari to look for fresh minds and hands.
One of the commenters on the
poll, @Oseni Fatai Oludare, said, “Minister for health, I've never felt his or
her impact in a Nigerian government hospital or is it d negligence of d federal
government on our health, very poor 0% tolerance.”
Another commenter,@Rasaq T.
Zubair, claimed: “Ngige has outlived his usefulness. And the fella with the red
beret must be rescued from further embarrassing himself.”
But@Lucas Xavier stated: “How is
everyone not voting the unprofessional and uncouth health minister nor are we
playing politics with incompetence.”
“They all contributed to the
failure of this government... They should all drop themselves from the top to
bottom. Nigeria is in dire need of a brand new government...,” asserted@Austeen
Ojie.
@Friday Omobude wealth, however,
pointed out: “All these ones are not ministers, they're kleptomanias. Besides,
where is AMACHI (Amaechi) in this list? Ministers are supposed to be
specialists and technocrats, not polithiefians.”
A fuming @KennethErhabor said,
“Every single one of them should be dropped! Starting with the minister of
darkness!”
@Omarbappah was even angrier that
“Ngige, and Adamu Adamu kept me at home for more than 3 months of ASUU strike.”
Meanwhile, on Facebook, the same
poll pitched Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed and Minister of
Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola.
Of the 21,900 votes cast,
Mohammed received 78 percent (17,100) while Fashola had 22% (4,800 votes).
Giving reasons for their votes, a
Facebook user,@Balarabe Abdullahi, wrote: “I have chosen Lai simply due to his
immense contributions that he gives on how to teach our children (younger
generation) the easiest ways to spread lies in the society.”
“Nigerians suffers worst power
outage throughout 4 years of APC rule under the watch of Hon. Minister of power
Babatunde Fashola who have been providing PHCN with all forms of shelters and
protections from being prosecuted by PMB,”@Aminnew pointed out.
“We pray and hope that God will
expose and humiliate PHCN with all their affiliates in this political
dispensation known as NEXT LEVEL.”
Another Facebook user, Mhizta
Francis Chukwuneme, said: “Lai should be dropped immediately that man doesn't
know how to talk...I think Fashola needs time, even though we haven't seen his
work but I believe he isn't sleeping.”
Itodo Itodo claimed: “Lie
Mohammed... That man is just disgracing us that are bearing Mohammed anyhow.”
Liye Anthony Dallah: “Fashola is
a complete failure, the electricity situation in Nigeria today is much worse
than when he came onboard. I don't even want to talk about his other two
portfolios. No be by English and grand standings. Oh… By the way, what business
has a lawyer with power? This is the second time that a SAN was made Minister
of Power, the first one (Bola Ige) was killed by power, the second one
(Fashola), killed power.”
“Let Fashola go. If the provision
of housing and power is his mandate, then he has failed woefully. I have little
or no business with Liar Moh'd. I don't need his information. To me, that
Ministry should be scrapped, the presidential media aides are taking care of
that,” said Yakubu Musa.
@Smart Olufemi said: “All of
them! They haven't demonstrated an atom of competence.”
