1) What is the job of a Chief of Staff and SGF?
2) Are you worried that he doesn't have advisers or you don't know the name of his advisers?

dearpreye:


You're not dreaming. There's a limit to partisanship.

Firefire:


But why

Ninu aawe?

EUROBOMBER:
Is this Passingshot or am I dreaming?

chemali:
I share your disappointment as to the delay in naming his cabinet members. However, I'm not so surprised. In 1983/1984, he named his cabinet after about 6 months and yet he made an impact in his 20 months administration. Change will occur but he should step on the gas pedal. We are losing patience

vedaxcool:
Patience is a virtue, if u can survive 6 years of cluelessness u definately can survive 2 months of planning. I know something great will come out of this.

PassingShot:

But we have a right to expect better performance than this having believed that he was adequately prepared as he promised.

Bros, delay is dangerous oh =>

PassingShot:
There is no gainsaying the fact that I am an ardent believer and supporter of the president. I am still proud in the little ways I contributed to his victory at the last presidential poll. Not only that I campaigned for his emergence online and offline, I also contributed financially to the course.

As I have said on many occasions in the past, it will be silly for me to want to stick out my neck to defend politicians when they’re clearly in the wrong and especially when I am not in any way related to any of them. PMB has clearly erred in this prolonged delay to name his cabinet! I once did a thread to support him when he was criticized just after twelve days in office https://www.nairaland.com/2371788/efforts-signs-president-buhari-twelve but I have no genuine reasons to continue to hold on to that position after another three weeks.

At first, I accepted that GEJ’s deliberate delay in handing over of hand-over notes of MDAs to the president was responsible for the delay in appointing his ministers BUT can the same excuse/reason still be valid for the continued stalling of this very important action more than a month after receiving the documents?

I also accepted that not knowing who the NASS leaders were going to be was partly responsible for not naming a COS and SGF but again, it’s already more than three weeks since we’ve known our Senate President and HOR Speaker! Besides, appointment of these two very important personnel (SGF & COS) have NOTHING to do with the purported “merging of some MDAs” the president is believed to be working on.

Not having a COS and an SGF must surely be impacting negatively on governance. Not acting very fast and decisively to name key advisers and some ministers (Finance, Works, Power/Energy, etc.) is surely making the president look confused and indecisive! It is irritating and even frustrating to read that we may not have ministers until late August or early September. Though I don’t want to believe this news but if it is what PMB is planning, it is in his interest to drop toying with that idea. Such action/plan is not only naïve, clueless and irritating but also very dangerous and unexplainable!

Does the president not need some of these ministers and other political appointees to drive through his policies? Or does he think he and a few clique of Fashola, Ogbonnaya Onu, Amaechi, etc (in unofficial capacities at that) can resolve all the myriad challenges in all ministries? Can the Permanent Secretaries breathe the type of fresh life needed in their ministry to it? Nigeria deserves far better than this from PMB/APC and their team.

Make no mistakes about it, sending GEJ and his team packing and the enthronement of Muhammadu Buhari as our president was the best decision Nigerians took in the last general election. But having said this, I have to add that the president has somewhat failed in the areas mentioned. PMB needs to make us continue to believe in him as the leader Nigeria needs at this critical time of our nation’s life.

@ PMB #NameYourCabinetNow

vedaxcool:


The damages over the years had gone out of control. So you do agree the country is actually in a very bad state occasioned by gej poor and parasitic leadership.

PointB:
We can clearly see how much better that GEJ he is. A man who's visited his cow at least 3 times since winning election clearly know where his priority lies. Better than GEJ indeed!

PassingShot:

Naming them far outweighs having people work for him in unofficial capacity.

Naming a few key appointees comes with some psychological satisfaction.

lordizak:

trust me, PMB will come good. the forces against him are too much. Igbo chanting betrayal and blackmailing him for many things, the militants are now angry for cutting them allowances and pipelines monitoring jobs, the party crisis and many other things we don't know of. My people say if day wan break, night go come first. he will do just great. Never regret voting for change.

Firefire:


I admire your spirit, "you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free".

I hope you will not be labeled an outcast and rebel by your constituency soon?

Speaking the truth without fear or favor is the right direction in this dispensation.

Kudos!

ShowYourCertificate:
Jonathan is better than Buhari. Four years will be my proof.

AZeD1:

So if Buhari announces that the most senior director in every ministry is the new minister you'd be satisfied?

dearpreye:
PMB is not adequately prepared for this job.

He's learning on it.

We wait till September.

That's change.

philips70:
There's no way a criminal can be better than a disciplined man. Not only common thieves are criminals. Buhari will never open Nigeria's till to thieves just because his share is guaranteed. NEVER!

No. Not the same thing.

Ministers are his representatives for interacting with all stakeholders internally and externally. The PS cannot drive his policies as the ministers.

That he is better than GEJ is not in doubt. However, we need him to do better.

Hi,
Good Morning

Based on the antecedents of these two in a democratic dispensation, don't you think it's a tad too early to play the comparison game wholistically?

AZeD1:


Why can't they, do ministers have two heads?

anonimi:


You mean the way they labelled and castigated barcanista just before the election for daring to voice his doubts and concerns on the misleading package that he realised Buhari & his co-travellers were

Please allow me to tag you 'Enemy of Progress'.

- USD is now 230 to a Naira

- Fuel subsidy still persist

- Fuel scarcity refuse to leave

- Food stuff prices have skyrocketed

- Nigerians are suffering

We all expected a drastic CHANGE and application of changing process from D 1, what we have is "SNAIL SPEED" and you are talking of relaxation

Jonathan your No. 1 enemy is gone, please start to be objective from today.

Thank you.

Peace!
