Based on merit or quota system, which oe abeg?

None. Just tribalism.

so even Mailari who has been your legal adviser since 2003 was not known to you?


even Adamu whom you have known for over 40 years was unknown to you?



even Ameachi, Fayemi, Fashola, Ngige & others who were on your campaign train for over 4 months & some of whom wrote your Chatham speech were unknown to you?


even those who are your relatives were unknown to you?



& what about the woman whom you worked with at PTF? she was also unknown to you?


hmm

That a president don't know some of his ministers or appointees is a big disgrace to Pmb and Apc. This is pure politicking to deceive people of the SE.

jieta:
this goes to show that buhari and his ministers are not active, i can't be with someone for more than two years and still not have idea about the person. common! what are you even defending, it took buhari six months to appoint this minister and yet two years after he still don't know them.



oga, if am the LG chairman of my state i will know my supervisors.

common read again & comprehend!he said he didnt knew them @ d time he appointed them not now.

This headline crazy. It gives you odd impression. He knows who they are but didn't know them before he started doing work with them.

I bet he knows where "za oza room" is.

But Aisha talk am nah & this old buffoon banned her from granting further interviews... Now he's repeating same lines! Abeg, who replaced Goodluck with Badluck?

jieta:
so baboon like you have common sense.

I'm still contending with your inability to assimilate few paragraphs. Thinking Nigeria is a family circle.

ihatesycophant:

Did you read his statement very well? He said, he didn't know them before appointing them but only based it on the record brought to him about them.
Young man, we're not talking of family post here. We're talking of political posts that cut across grids and backgrounds. As a native of Abia, there is no way you will know everyone within Abia state let alone its neighbouring states, lest a far states.
Well, in my journey in life, I have come to realisation that commonsense is not always common and you have to contend with those not having it. Truly you have no commonsense.

Thank you for coming to my aid. No matter how hard you try, you can't enlighten people whose hearts are fixed on what they choose to see.

He said he didn't know SOME of them BEFORE they were appointed. Now, you've mentioned these ones, what about SOME others like Enelamah, Kachikwu, etc?

"even Ameachi, Fayemi, Fashola, Ngige & others who were on your campaign train for over 4 months."
You expect him to KNOW those in his 'campaign train' for 4 months?

Are we sure this is the president, six months after searching for them? 2years after comes this bombshell!

shame! despite decades in politics you still never knew key people. shame.

The lord dullard jubrin ft buhari

RoyalUc:


So, Fashola, a former Governor is not qualified to be a minister?

And Kemi too?

Alright, on what grounds are they not qualified?

They might qualified to be a minister but not the current ministerial position they are both holding.

I saw the speech and my first impression was that this is a fake Buhari, from mannerism, to speech, to body language. The guy was there talking absolute jokes and rubbish, as if he didnt care. He even said something to the effect that people who were/are locked up shouldn't complain because he too was locked up LOL.


Clearly he, whether na Buhari or Jubril from Sudan did not take the speech or the event or even the stupid Igbo red hat leaders/betrayers serious, and frankly didnt have to

That man did not know that Ebony state isn't APC but PDP.

APC and cabals didn't equipped this man with details of 2015 campaigns organizers. That the original Buhari used to host each and every PDP defectors, former governors, national, states and House of Representatives assemblies.

Is like Ebony state governor is planning to defect to APC or he's playing on APC corrupt governance.

billyG:

common read again & comprehend!he said he didnt knew them @ d time he appointed them not now.

"He didn't know at time he appointed them", is it that he didn't read applications Or was blind and dumb to understand the contents of their applications

This man should work closely with his ministers instead of talking trash. If he's to appoint those he knows then, they will all be northerners

Mr president, take it upon yourself to get closer to your ministers and stop giving baseless excuses.

rather than try to make excuses, go to through the list of the cabinet & you will see that he knew more than 60% of his cabinet.


except he is implying in the respect of character, then that would be silly because even married couples of 20 years still get to 'know' themselves daily...


people in his campaign train that he was flying in their jets, they were writing speeches for him... how won't he know them...

I am not trying to make excuses. And for your info, I don't defent Buhari/APC neither do I defend GEJ/PDP. I only try to be rational.

Now, what is the difference between what he said and what you are saying. Is "60% of his cabinet" all his appointees?

Mind you, he wasn't just talking about his ministers but all other officials and aids.

BTW, would it have been proper if he appointed only those he knew? Was that even possible?

Iamthoney:

So, why are they not qualified for the "current ministerial position they are both holding?"

1.he emphasized on ministers which is why I did not mention any non ministerial post.

2. he knew more than 60% of his cabinet members before their appointment, as such his statement is patently false because he is giving the impression that he knew less than 50% of his cabinet.


its not a function of who supports what, we are all reacting to a statement that is designed to reflect less than the true picture of what was obvious...

RoyalUc:

What has minister of power brought to the power sector since he was appointed? Any significant improvement? I remember vividly when he was yet a governor he did shade the last administration and as for Aunty kemi, have she leave up to expectation, has our economy improved? I no be PDP supporter and I hope you no be APC supporter too?

"1.he emphasized on ministers which is why I did not mention any non ministerial post."

Did you read the statement? Here is an excerpt:

"President Muhammadu Buhari says he did not know many of his APPOINTEES, INCLUDING MINISTERS as of the time he appointed them into top government positions...He said he only came across their names from the records which he worked with...‘‘ Some of the people holding high positions in the government, LIKE my ministers, will tell you that I didn’t know them from Adam."

I ask you again; would it have been proper if he appointed only those he knew? Was that even possible?

Even on this forum, some people had reported that there is a significant improvement in their areas (though this might not cover everywhere) and where I stay, we enjoy 20 - 22hours light daily.

Wait o! Don't tell me you expected that Nigeria will become America in 2 years.

Now tell me, what will you see to know the economy and country at large have improved?

Me, I no be PDP supporter and I no be APC supporter.

Another bold face Lie. Let us examine his relationship with just ministers.
Minister of Education- Was his PA when he was PTF chairman
Minister of Water resources- Minister's father was once married to his elder sister
Minister of state Trade- is the daughter in-law of his nephew Mamman Daura
Minister of FCT- is the Son of Mamman Daura's close friend
Minister of Environment (former)- Amina was a founder of Afri projects consortium which executed all PTF projects and headed by Aisha Buhari's cousin, Salihijo Ahmed.
Head of Service- Was accountant at PTF
Minister of state Natl Planning- daughter of former perm sec Yahaya Hamza who was a buhari associate.
Minister of Justice- Was his lawyer when he was challenging his numerous electoral losses, Malami did not charge Buhari legal fees.
Minister of Aviation- his older brother, Abubakar Sirika was one of Buhari's closest friends, In fact, Buhari lived in their house for some time.
Minister of state, foreign affairs- Buhari's chief of staff, Abba Kyari lived in her father's house while a student at Cambridge. She's the daughter of politician Waziri Ibrahim.
His political associates before he became president include ministers of interior, sports, solid minerals, labor, transport, power/works/housing(including state minister), information.

So what is he talking about?

what is your point?

in the small section you just quoted, he referred to ministers twice, he emphasized HIGH positions, so have I contradicted myself?


on your question, it sidesteps the main issue, which is pmb feigning ignorance of most of his ministerial appointees.

if he doesn't know most of those outside his ministerial appointees, then he should have kept them out of his 'analysis' so that it rings true.


I really don't understand why you have a bug up your undies over this issue...

No! I don't have a bug up my undies...it's soldier ants. You know how those guys behave, that is if you've had an encounter with them.

If you don't know your employees, then you are nothing but a clueless employer.

A man that used to go to state to states for presidential campaigns, don't know politicians while in offices uses states and ministries taxpayers money to funds his presidential elections, he's here lying that he didn't know them from Adam.

We all know that you have been brainwashed by APC corrupt government officials in state.
