Concludes performance review of appointees

Feuding ministers, non-performing aides, perceived corrupt ones to go


Against the back drop of the bickering among ministers of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration alongside performance evaluation reports confidentially carried out by a select committee, the president is reportedly under pressure to “reorganise his cabinet” even as he was said to have rounded up consultations on the matter.


According to presidency sources who opened up to Nigerian pilot last weekend, Buhari is said to have been miffed by reports of feud among his appointees, non-performance of many of them and allegations of corrupt practices against some of his aides and cabinet members.


“He is really pained that persons recommended by his party and friends of the government are not performing. They are self-serving and some of them have corruption allegations hanging around their necks that the whole scenario has become an embarrassment to the president and his administration,” said a top presidency official weekend.

The official who hails from one of the northern states, added that though Buhari managed the well publicized description of Britain’s Prime minister, David Cameron of Nigeria as “fantastically corrupt,” it was a huge embarrassment that was akin to a slap on the face.

“Yes, the president managed the embarrassment with diplomatic equanimity. But it did not mean that it was not an embarrassment to him, his government and the country. As a statesman who knows his onions he managed the fallouts very well. But it just will not end there. He saw it as a challenge to clean the dirty stable. The needful has to be done,” the source further told Nigerian Pilot.

Feuding ministers
It was gathered that some ministers openly disagree with the administration’s position on critical national issues. Mention was made of remarks by some appointees on policy issues which are not in tandem with the policy direction of government. In such cases, the government had been made to “go the extra mile to issue statements to correct such bungling, thereby casting our confidence in doubts in the mind of the Nigerian public. Also, many of them work at cross purposes with mandated direction as if they were not well briefed on their schedules before they assumed duty,” Nigerian Pilot was told.
“President Buhari cannot watch as his cabinet, the government and his party, consciously and unconsciously bungle APC’s success at polls. He has to stop the bitterness and hostilities among his appointees,” the source said.

Only recently, but for the timely intervention of their respective aides, a minister and the minister of state reportedly almost engaged each other in fisticuffs over allegations of insubordination by the latter for the former.


Non-performing aides
It was learnt that following the brief each appointee got on assumption of office, Buhari expected them to dutifully deliver on their assigned schedules. But he is said to be worried that given the loads of complaints from the Nigerian public and the international community, not a few appointees are failing on this note.

“They lack initiative and are always waiting for the president to direct them before they are jolted to act. There is the belief that there is too much eye service around here. The president does not want to see their faces as often as they wish. All he needs is for them to work and deliver. Some of them even claim they are scared not to make mistakes that would offend the president. But they have not been seen to be trying to perform in the first case,” another source in a critical ministry revealed.


Corrupt aides
With allegations of corruption hanging over the heads of some appointees of the president alongside petitions and in some cases, officially confirmed fraudulent acts, Buhari is said to be decided on relieving affected persons of their appointment if his anti-corruption war must still be taken seriously.
This category according to Nigerian Pilot’s findings cuts across cabinet members and non-cabinet aides of the president.

Apart from financial corruption, it further learnt that appointees who politicise virtually every policy and agenda of the administration may be categorized as failing in the foregoing respect.


Last night, it was gathered that ahead the first year anniversary of the administration and speculation of a looming cabinet overhaul, most appointees of the president are jittery as they have nothing on the score card to show as their modest achievements in furtherance of the administration’s agenda.
“Some of them hold the last signing of the 2016 budget as excuse for non-performance. That was expected. But is that a tenable excuse when they have not been able to streamline operations in their respective ministries and the parastatals under them?” one presidential aide asked.

Good!


That minister of interior 'Dambanza abi na dambuzu' needs to _fuck off!

I agree with you to some extent, maybe not as far as him "f.ucking off", but he needs to sit up.

He hasn't issued a single statement since the Niger delta bombing, not to talk of leading a delegation there. .

The silver lining though is that now Nigerians, like never before, are holding their public office holders accountable. That's definitely a plus.

90% of d ministers elected are as useless as d P in psychology..... while some r doin d opposite of wat dey were obligated for...eg minister of power n housing has succeeded In d generation, transmission and distribution of Darkness

Do we have ministers ?

A man whose priorities are having his security details dust off his gucci loafers in public is who you think should "sit up"? This man couldn't "sit up" if he was at a dinner table



He has always been an un-charismatic and incompetent oaf! Ask any of your friends in the military about him and check out the disdain they have for him! Get familiar!




By the way You are that mature babe innit? So you may abhor my colorful language but its all good! Even the mods have given up! The _fuck off option is the best option for this national turd!

Those appointments are just compensations for party loyalty. If true, then some other loyalists will soon be compensated.

Ok...waiting. Think it's long overdue and it shld not just end with the ministers, some of these DGs need to give way to competency as well.

Hmm, so you noticed my typo.
Everyone deserves a chance, though I am unaware of his work history, I believe everyone deserves a chance, I think some people call it, giving benefit of the doubt.
He hasn't spent up to a year in office, all he needs is a query, and more time. If he maintains the same status quo, then by all means remove him.

Your dislike for him seems more personal than professional.

Under what template would incompetent ministers be sacked ? The despot hasn't given any of them a budget to work with since last year. Except for Lie Mohammed, I think all others have no reason to be examined right now

He should do the neeful.

Sack yourself too please.

The first persn he should sack is himself! It took him almost a year to prepare a faulty budget, how long will it take them to construct roads, repair power and all? He's working though $ is almost 1 naira now, he's done stabbilizing oil price, we now buy @ 145, bunch of liars and fools

Before you quote me be sincere with yourself, this isn't the issue of wailer vs zombie, that I can eat 3 square meal doesn't mean everybodyy can, ppl are suffering. U collect 100k per month, fuel ur car 20 liters, ur gen 10 litres daily, that's over 105k per month. Yet majority collect far below that.

Smh for some fools sha

The entire cabinet needs to be sacked, including the president himself. Bunch of clueless failures.

See day 1 buhari appointed ministers, wailing wailers have been carrying this rumour and lies from pit of hell upandan

Rest assured Buhari is not under pressure to do anything! Pressure from whom Gone are the days when ministers were nominated by governors, who then had ultimate influence on president. Today all ministers function at the pleasure of the president. So I find this bed time story less than believable!

From d day of his screening, i never anticipated anything good from him. I think his appointment had more to do wit favor than competence!

1. Fashola should be number 1, he has failed in the 3 sectors under is judicature, better still make him minister for state for power, while another Techocrat is made minister for power

This is payback time for those that attempted to bully buhari for increased house rent in choice areas of Abuja.

I don't comment on rumours

I don't believe this story.

Why ? How do you measure performance when you have not being commissioned with necessary tools to perform e.g 'Budget'. Thou some of the ministers do not require budget passing to start acting and delivering on their portfolio.

Btw: unless Buhary retract his earlier statement labeling these Ministers as "Noise Makers" the evil label could hinder their performance.

The ministers that took him(Mr. Integrity) long time to appoint. Turns out he appointed people in the same category as himself.

This is not a recognised news postal. It shall not smell front page.

Wait a m unite, is this not the cabinet he use almost 3 months to select, and some zombie here were defending him as being careful not to make mistakes. Believe it or leave it, Buhari is the mistakes Nigeria has ever made.

We no go gree ooo.. Sack wetin? How can he sack saints? Dem must finish am ooo.. When their mouths were running both before, during and after elections nko?

Ministers abi minisTHIVES.

Say wetin? This cabinet of angels and saints that took Buhari seven months to put together?

He wants to dismiss them and then take the rest of his tenure to select another set of dulladettes and dulladudes?

Confused Man!
