There seems to be a confusion in President Goodluck Jonathan's cabinet as only one ministerial slot is left for two states. The states that are yet to have minister in Jonathan's cabinet are Kwara and Anambra. Earlier this morning, Jonathan assigned two portfolios to Ambassador Bashir Yuguda, who was until his redeployment today, the Minister of State for Works and Supervising Minister of National Planning.

The president announced Yuguda as substantive Minister of National Planning and Minister of State for Finance. With the announcement of the portfolios of four new ministers earlier this morning, the Ministry of Aviation is yet to have a substantive minister. Since former Ministers of Aviation and Sports, Stella Oduah (Anambra) and Bolaji Abdullah (Kwara) respectively were removed, Jonathan has not nominated anybody to fill their states' slots.

Those sworn in and assigned portfolios by the president earlier today are:

Ibrahim Shekarau (Kano)--Minister of Education

Stephen Oru (Delta)---Minister of Niger Delta Affairs

Abdul Bulama (Yobe)---Minister of Science and Technology

Clement Adebayo Adeyeye (Ekiti)--Minister of State for Works

The president also redeployed the Minister of State for Works, Bashir Yuguda as Substantive Minister of National Planning and Minister of State for Finance. Before announcing the new ministers' portfolios, Jonathan had charged them to serve the nation with their wealth of experience.

For selfish reasons by Jonathan,I see Kwara state getting the slot. Anambra is already a PDP affiliated state.

Chai!...How can Ibrahim Shekarau be the Minister of education for Christ sake!.this is the apex of Jonathan's foolishness this year.

Yes nigerains are clamouring for more states even campaigning for governors of yet to be created states.
Due to the federal character principle many portfolios were created and even then it can't go round.


I laugh in German

I share your sentiment bro.
Additional states creation is a receipe for more confusion

berem: For selfish reasons by Jonathan,I see Kwara state getting the slot. Anambra is already a PDP affiliated state.

But I read somewhere that Mr Osita Chidoka (present FRSC boss) who is from anambra might get the job

For this single reason, my Ananmbra people may end up dumping PDP but will never
accept APC .

and what will Peter Obi get? Don't you know that ministerial positions are now given to recycled politicians and political close friends of Jonathan? I don't see Osita becoming a minister,not even in his dreams.

oh well,let's see how it goes

The PDP in kwara state are not united, they recently asked jonathan to pick any candidate he likes after challenging the candidature of 1 Prof suleiman who is a loyalist to a prominent PDP member in ilorin. I see anambra winning the ticket cos dose in kwara are not united

I thought of Peter Obi too but the article writer pointed out that Peter Obi is not PDP. on the other hand, Osita is an inlaw to one of the biggest PDP Stalwarts.

if anyone is going to get a ministerial post from Anambra state,Peter Obi is the only favoured candidate I see due to his closeness to Jonathan. Osita does not come any close. But personally,for political reasons,I think Kwara will get the slot.

Picking fools to represent fools.
I wonder what any of these idiotz know about
Modern advancement in science and technology and how Nigeria can key into it.
They cannot address ordinary electricity which even the poorest of countries have in abundance or the refugee problem from Boko haram. How are going to address
1Desertification
2 The looming food crisis
3The looming Ebola crisis
And more

#GEJ must go.

Peter Obi is not on that list, neither is Anambra.

Jonathan has no reason to give peter Obi or Anambra anything. pDP owns Anambra. apga is a department in the pDP headquarters .

It should be easy to garner the support of the east with or without Obi but Kwara as you said would be make a better ally. But who, would it go to. Who is still powerful and influential in Kwara state and had a strong family name, not just some man with money - but inherited clout.

you have said it all! what's the name of the man who decamped from apc to pdp in kwara recently? I think he's the anointed one.

Babe, the rumour don confirm o!!!! GEJ has nominated Osita and Olarewaju and submitted to the senate!!
I guess this settles the Peter Obi case
However, I'd rather Osita than Olarenwaju
