TonyeBarcanista:

I think Buhari's preferred style of leadership is 'Sole Administratorship'

Splashme:


Barcanista is far more intelligent than you. You are angry with him because he criticises Buhari not because he doesn't make intelligent aguments

Mogidi:


It was the norm in the 70s/80s, APC collectively won this election, Nigeria expects an APC govt not a one man show.

TonyeBarcanista:
He doesn't know that a government is not complete without a cabinet

Mogidi:


We were warned about Buhari's intransigence and hotheadedness, even if he appoint ministers, it would still be Buhari's way or no way.
Buhari remains an autocrat, he is incapable of transiting to democracy, his rumoured democratic ideals are what they are ... rumours.

atbu1983:
The truth is that Ministers are errand boys of the president. They can be hired and fired in one day.

In d case of Nigeria, only few ministers are actually relevant. Majority are just appointed to fill political space.

Mogidi:



Can you name one democratic country in the world being ruled by one sole administrator? Is Nigeria now a monarchy with Buhari as King?

TonyeBarcanista:
Before the election we were told that his actions will be guided by VP Yemi Osinbajo, the Presiding pastor of Tinubu House of Prayer ministry.

nigerianvenom:
Buhari has a problem and that problem is ignorance on issues of governance

TonyeBarcanista:

1. Ministers are not 'mere' representatives. You gotta read
2. The constitution and relevant laws still specified some duties of the minister. For instance, the Attoney-General must give a go-ahead before any Security Agency can prosecute any case. The Petroleum minister is the statutory chairperson of NNPC. The aforementioned roles cannot be performed by the President except he takes charge of the ministries like Obj did.
3. No sane government function without cabinet. Go figure!

AZeD1:

The term "minister" is a title with the only requirement to bearing that title being confirmation by the senate. So just like OBJ was the minister of petroleum during his own time, Buhari can appoint the permanent secretaries or any one from the ministry as minister and your "cabinet" is formed.

Bike shedders like you are the problems with this country.

Mogidi:


Osibanjo was sold as the next Idiagbon, the man to actualise Bubu's vision of a new Nigeria hehehe!
A mere commissioner's position is better than the position Osibanjo currently occupies.

Mogidi:


And your point is?

sammyj:
Point one is must the OP always respond to all PMB s statements while point two is PMB has said he will send his ministerial appointees list to the house for approval before the end of the month while my last point is that the perm secs who are the executive arm of the civil service have more experience than the so called ministers that only come for their share of the national cake and create avenue for theit various constituency to also eat part of this cake rather than focus on developments !!!

hinwazaka:
The statement by the President was callous, insensitive and myopic and was a huge embarrassment to the office of the President, the constitution, the entire government structure and Nigeria in its totality. How can a head of government go on live television in a foreign state and claim that the officials who act as intermediaries between the government and its public institutions are irrelevant and inconsequential in the entire framework of government. With that said he should just jettison the idea of appointing ministers and hand over total control to the Perm.secs who he described as GODS.
Anyone who allows himself to be ridiculed by this President, by accepting the role of a minister in this government is a disgrace to his profession, alma mata, and his family. How can they be expected to effectively carry out their duties in a government that doesn't respect the office they occupy. I pity this country.

hinwazaka:

Learn about what you intend to speak about. The constitution mandates that for someone to be made a minister he must meet the same criteria that is mandated for a senator. He must be a member of a political party and must be well known to the political class. So PMB can not make a Perm.sec a minister.

doublewisdom:
Everybody knows Buhari is an illiterate.

Mogidi:


At the emboldened, is it your job to tell the opposition when to respond?

Mogidi:


We were told the delay in appointing ministers was for Buhari to find men of integrity, is this your own take or the fed govt's position?

TonyeBarcanista:
I honestly don't understand this administration.

Rawani:


It can be inferred from the several statements released, such as the one given today.

TonyeBarcanista:

1. Ministers are not 'mere' representatives. You gotta read
2. The constitution and relevant laws still specified some duties of the minister. For instance, the Attoney-General must give a go-ahead before any Security Agency can prosecute any case. The Petroleum minister is the statutory chairperson of NNPC. The aforementioned roles cannot be performed by the President except he takes charge of the ministries like Obj did.

Finally, I won't hesitate to ignore you indefinitely should you reply will abusive word(s).
