The first civilian governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa says he is disappointed at President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list arguing that that there is nothing spectacular about the names.
Balarabe threw a
poser at the President asking “why did it take the President four months to
come up with these names? I believe this is the question that many informed
Nigerians should ask.
“These are the
same old names, ordinary Nigerians who the President knows and he must have
even met them several times. So, what is spectacular about them that he wasted
so much time in appointing them ministers?
“But there are
about two or three who I can say are distinguished among them like, Audu Ogbeh
who I have known for a very long time.
We were together
during the Second Republic. “He was a minister while I was governor then. Audu
Ogbeh has an outstanding public record that everybody knows.”
The Senate
President, Bukola Saraki announced to the Senators 21 ministerial nominees.
They were
contained in the list forwarded to him last week Wednesday, September 30 by
President Muhammadu Buhari.
The nominees are,
Abubakar Malami (SAN): Abdurahman Bello Dambazzau; Aisha Jumai Al Hassan; Alhaji
Lai Mohammed; Babatunde Raji Fashola; Adebayo Shittu; Solomon Dalong; Senator
Chris Ngige; Rotimi Amaechi; and Chief Audu Ogbeh.
Others are, Mrs.
Amina Ibrahim; Dr. Osagie Ehaneri; Emmanuel Kachukwu; Dr. Kayode Fayemi; Eng.
Suleiman Adamu; Mrs. Kemi Adeosun; Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu; Hon. Ahmed Musa Bello;
Ibrahim Usman Jubrin; Senator Hadi Serika; Senator Udo Udoma.
Senate President
Saraki opened the sealed envelope at 10:45am.
According to him,
the President sent the list to him through the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari,
adding that the list contained the first batch of nominees-Naija parrot
Senator Saraki
who disclosed that the Senate would commence screening, tuesday 13, said that
President Buhari had told him that subsequent names would come shortly.
