Senator1974:
Well this is one of the reasons why i prefer APC to PDP. It is not all about the individual image and their influence in the government, but much more about who can perfectly get the job done!

CHANGE IS HERE!
U are wrong Powers that be in apc are fighting for their interests, now to avoid relegating them to the backyard in the party.

This happened in pdp and thats where anger and ill feelings started developing, which can cause separation of interest and some members may join the opposition party.

So don't be by ur wrong thinking.

It still beats me that my fellow social scientist give vile and serious minded comments on such thread! This could have been written by any bored intellectual from the camp of anti-Nigeria. Why not wait till GMB assumes office and starts submitting the ministerial list to the green chambers before lending your thoughts.
As for those in the new Opposition camp, I'll advice that you attack issues and not personality. Even if APC followers/adherents attacked personality, prove that you are of a sane class than they are. Two fools can't make a sage nau!

So, apparently Ambode was used by Tinubu to spite Fashola? How I wished he had the bravery of an Amaechi undecided

What 're we saying? What is special about Fayemi that he must be made a minister? Fayemi was a governor in Ekiti for 4 years and he couldn't check even a weak opposition. He lost woefully (16-0) in the political battle between him and Fayose who was impeached during his first term; it was a walk - over. He entrusted ALL his strategy in the hand of one selfish, myopic and self-centered man in person of Yemi Adaramodu (his Chief of Staff)..and Adaramodu ruined him. If Fayemi must be a minister in Buari's government, then any Tom, Dick and Harry can make the list.

Re: Buhari Drops Governors Fashola And Fayemi From Ministerial List by Nasman(m): 4:28pm On May 03, 2015
If this is true. Then Buhari must be a big fool. Look fear Kwankwaso. He is the last person Buhari is going to have on his opposite. It not a hidden fact that Kwankwaso is the ultimate Leader of APC in north west. As for Fashola and Fayemi, not having them in your government will be ur worst mistake. This two politicians are living testimony of performaning leaders.
Fashola my Hero, Fayemi My Mentor and Kwankwaso my Model.
I just hope this article is just a lie.

All is not well with the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the party’s rank and file seems in disarray following the alleged dropping of the names of Lagos governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) and former Ekiti State governor Dr. Kayode Fayemi from the ministerial list of President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

According to our investigation, both men who are supposed to be candidates of the national leader of the party Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu may not be enjoying the support of the Jagaban of Borgu kingdom that is expected to press for their inclusion. National Weekender learnt that their names were initially pencilled down on the list still being worked on before final vetting by the party’s national leadership but on advice of a very powerful chieftain in the South West, the names of the duo were erased.

This development has irked the trio of governors Chibuike Amaechi, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Rochas Okorocha and Adams Oshiohmole of Rivers, Kano, Imo and Edo States respectively. The governors in a show of solidarity for the duo who belongs to their constituency (Governors Forum even as Fayemi is no longer in office) felt slighted that they were not carried along in the decision to drop both men who had worked tirelessly to actualize the victory of the party in the 2015 General Elections.

Recall that Fayemi was Director of Media and Publicity of Buhari’s Campaign Organization even as Fashola played a supporting role behind the Director-General Gov. Amaechi. To this end, the governors frowned at the dropping of their names since it was not a reward for their hard work but rather an exercise of ingratitude which is capable of disuniting the party. Feelers from the party suggest that Fayemi was to get the portfolio of Minister for Information since he is the face of the party in Ekiti despite losing to Ayo Fayose in the gubernatorial election held on June 26 2014.

Meanwhile Fashola would have been Minister for Works on account of his performance as governor of Lagos.

Our investigation further reveals that as replacements for Fashola and Fayemi, the very powerful party chieftain moving for their exclusion has recommended Sen. Ganiyu Olanrewaju Solomon and former governor, Segun Oni respectively. Says one of our sources, “ there is real trouble brewing within our party. A powerful member of the party in the South West has called for the names of Fashola and Fayemi to be dropped from the ministerial list. This has not gone down well with some very influential members of the party who are governors.

“Kwankwaso who is a great admirer of Fashola has kicked the decision to drop the latter into touch. He enjoys the support of Governors Amaechi, Oshiohmole and Okorocha. These governors feel that if this powerful party chieftain is not stopped now he may run their interests down in the party. A meeting will be held before the final ratification of the list by the party’s leadership and the aggrieved governors want to seize the opportunity to make their position known. And it is simply that Fashola and Fayemi must be on Buhari’s cabinet.”

National Weekender scooped that the second term move of Fashola which was against the wish of his godfather Tinubu was responsible for his plight. He is perhaps paying the prize for doing a second term. It is believed that he has not been forgiven by Tinubu for daring the Lion of Bourdillon. On Fayemi’s part, it is said that Tinubu is still angry with him for carelessly conceding defeat to Fayose in the 2014 governorship election when he actually had everything going for him. But Fayemi’s real sin was to have congratulated Fayose after the result of the election was announced without getting clearance from Tinubu.

One of our sources says, “This ministerial list is a very contentious issue especially as it concerns the dropping of the names of both men. Buhari is yet to say anything about the list because the leadership of the party entrusted the exercise in the hands of Tinubu who is the clearing house and coordinating all the interest groups within the party and those chosen to pick or appoint candidates. Mat be he will eventually speak at the meeting where expectedly the leadership of the party will take a stand.

I don't know why folks here like working themselves up over fiction. This article and its submission is rubbish. Complete rubbish. Fashola and Fayemi are Ministers-in-waiting unless either decline the positions given them and I don't see that happening.

Tinubu should understand the fact that Nigerians did not vote for him and therefore requires not his input. We voted GMB and Osinbajo no matter what your contribution, it is high time he understood we are fed up with his unnecessary and unwanted influences.

You may not like the faces of those two women but certainly, finance and petroleum ministers in a country like Nigeria are not offices where you change those @ the helm of affairs like pants. You may term Gej as soft but Obj was the president of this country and also the petroleum minister and @ some point power too. Was there no corruption, why didn't he change himself?

I agree you don't change petroleum and finance ministers like pants, it still doe not change the fact that GEJ was soft for a country like Nigeria. He showed it in many other aspects.

Don't know how u assumed I don't like those women, far from the truth. Okonjo tried, but Dieziani did not exactly excel in her stewardship as petroleum minister. That's my opinion.


The article was about the rumoured dropping of Fashola and Fayemi from Buhari's cabinet and you started talking about Okonjo and dieziani.

Obviously you either did not read the entire article or you did not understand it. The reason they're being dropped from the ministerial list has NOTHING to do with their competence, but rather because of some foolish political revenge.

So this fool I'm quoting doesn't know Remi Tinubu is a serving Senator and as well has been re-elected?!

It looks like you're the Ignorant fool. Nothing disqualifies a sitting/re-elected senator from being appointed Minister. If she's appointed, and she accepts it, then the governor of her state (Who's also APC) will nominate another person to replace her in the senate. It happens all the time in the USA where we copied the system we practice today. Even when the governor of the state he/she represents in the senate is from a different party, political decorum dictates that the governor will appoint someone from the party as the departing senator.
