Firefire: This is not under the topic of this thread but I have to ask; what makes you think distributing the oil well licenses evenly along the 6 geopolitical zones is a reasonable or fair arrangement? There are zones that have no petroleum resources yet you want them to have licenses too? |

Obynolee: Did you seriously make this comment? What are they giving and taking. Everybody knows the only thing the Senators wants is for the Executive to drop corruption charges against its members. Is that a fair deal on the country. Sometimes I wonder how some people think. I'm trying hard to refrain myself from using offensive words on you right now. Are you justifying the Senators silly claims. Where in the constitution does it state that 36Ministers must complete before screening can start. If you cannot show us then shut the hell up instead of making yourself look unintelligent. And stay away from my mentions. I hate exchanging words with enemies of progress. |

[quote author=jomoh post=38739663]It seems Buhari has yet to learn the true Power of Presidency. The constitution does not support appointing ministers by batch. They should show us where it is written that all ministers must be appointed once. Bunch of thieves. Just ignore them and start using Permanent Secretaries in place of Ministers let their deputies act as the perm sec. Appoint trusted hands in the civil service as perm secs and communicate your economic policies to them As the above writer puts it,his thoughts are as silly and miserable as Buhari's ministerial list. You can go and educate your pseudo lienage and neophyte of your extraction. |

Obynolee: What makes it impeachable? If it is an impeachable offence they shouldve impeached him since because he has no minister presently. But the constitution does not make it compulsory that he appoints ministers. |

Re: Senators Give Terms For Confirming Ministers by ApexTitan(m): 9:18am On Oct 07, 2015 |
Firefire: I get that your objective is fairness but my angle is that if we are to achieve true fairness in this matter then it is only regions that have petroleum resources that should be considered for licenses. Trying to evenly share it out appears like the right way to go but it means there will be zones that will "reap where they didn't sow" because we want everyone to be "satisfied". |

omusiliyu: The same way Jonathan and Obasanjo were screened, huh? Some of you have no real understanding of Nigeria's constitution or its recent history. Goodluck Jonathan And The Power Ministry Source: http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2010/05/goodluck-jonathan-and-the-power-ministry/ My earlier post on the same subject.... Mickey7: Thanks for advancing the kind of fact-based argument which has become rare around these parts... To say the standards of discourse has fallen far on this section on NL, would amount to dignifying the low-grade reasoning skills which a lot of the ethnically charged nitwits peddle. Now if we ignore catchy headlines and appraise Buhari's recent remarks, we would be left in no doubt that he has been operating in an 'acting' capacity all along. “...I intend to remain the minister of petroleum resources,” Buhari said in an interview on the sidelines of the annual meeting of world leaders at the UN general assembly in New York.Source Would he be flouting a constitutional requirement if he were to continue in the same mode? Clearly, the answer is 'no'. 1 Like |

[quote author=MRSALT post=38743448][/quote] Yes he needs the cabinet but no where in the constitution is it stated that he must have ministers or that the list must complete before screening. It is Nigerians that will suffer it. Unless we want to be unfair to the man. 1. There is no time frame for submission of ministers list. 2. He has submitted the list which is his constitutional duty if he deems it necessary to have ministers. Buhari has done his duty within the provision of the constitution. What the senators are asking for has not place in the constitution. As a matter of fact the constitution is silent on it and there's no constitution in the world that compels the President of its country to submit all his ministers before it can be screened in the parliament. Even Obama submits his ministers in bits. These people are just trying to frustrate the presidency because of the corruption mantra that most of them may fall victim. If they like, they can disqualify the candidates but they have no right to compel the President to submit a complete list or make him appear before the senate. |

Re: Senators Give Terms For Confirming Ministers by free2ryhme: 9:39am On Oct 07, 2015 |
As a law-making body, our Senators should know they cannot reject a Presidential nominee as a Federal Minister based on gossips or emotions; PMB, ably supported by a legal professor will not present a nominee that a has a case of corruption in court or with the EFCC to them to be rubbished. Other excuses of non conformity with the constitution with regards to presentation of an incomplete list or the issue of the Petroleum ministry supervision will also not hold; they are only gimmics to upset the APC anti-corruption campaign by a dogged corrupt group who are totally against the envisaged change the Nigerian people voted for. What our Senators fail to realise is that the whole world had accepted the anti-corruption stance of PMB as what Nigeria needs for now and are just waiting for the outcome of their grand-standing posture. |
Re: Senators Give Terms For Confirming Ministers by jomoh: 9:39am On Oct 07, 2015 |
ruggedtimi: Has he not done his constitutional duty by submitting the list. Where is it stated in the constitution that he must submit a complete list before screening. Once he has done his constitutional duty, let the Senators do theirs instead of coming up with frivolous excuse that is foreign to the Nigerian constitution and if they refuse to do so, then let the country continue as it is without ministers. Nigerians will judge who has refused to do its constitutional job, the President or the Senate. |

It baffles me when the senators sees themselves as a congregation of saints.... what was the criteria used to screen them for their elections...? Now they are opportune to become a senator (people like Senator kashamu buruji from Ogun too will say screening of ministers is not a business as usual considering his own antecedents) just to mention afew. So who are these senators? What is their of CV like? Nawa oo Naija |

jomoh: Don't say what you don't know or what you are not sure of in a public forum. IT IS COMPULSORY THAT BUHARI MUST APPOINT AT LEAST 36 MINISTERS, ONE PER STATE OF THE FEDERATION. |

Re: Senators Give Terms For Confirming Ministers by jomoh: 9:46am On Oct 07, 2015 |
Obynolee: There is no real saint in the arms of government but the senators should not hold the country to ransom because of their corrupt deeds they fear it could be used to hunt them. Because there's no saint in the three arms does not mean we won't fight corruption. Does not mean they would now hold us to ransom with illegal and unconstitutional claim that the president must submit a complete list. If they have a grouse with the presidency for any reason, let them disqualify anyone on the list that has even the tiniest spot on his/her CV/past. That is the only constitutional right they have. |
Re: Senators Give Terms For Confirming Ministers by PROPHETmichael: 9:48am On Oct 07, 2015 |
Buhari have no intention of appointing 36 ministers at once. His well orchestrated plan is to hope senate approved this 1st batch and there after he will send the next one in two years time to replace this 1st batch of ministers. Senators must reject this incomplete trickish list. |

Why do people give the impression that they are clueless at times? What is so difficult about sending the list of nominees? The one that took 4 months contains names of those we were expecting to make it. The next list, we know half of the names that will be there. I doubt if buhari has ever read the Nigerian constitution because if he has he will know that the actions of the president should be guided by the constitution and not "I can do what I like, when I like". |
Re: Senators Give Terms For Confirming Ministers by kraftykc(m): 9:58am On Oct 07, 2015 |
Pavore9: Don't be deceived, the Constitution says nothing about the way ministers are to be employed. This not unconstitutional, all the Constitution says is that all States are to be represented, and that is open to great interpretation. |
