Is quite unfortunate we(PDP) lost,all the same I will still play an advisory roiole if need be to move Nigeria forward..For the political appointees I see more ministers from "Northern Extraction" with Ngige-Health,Fashola-SGF,Amaechi-Interior Minister,Rochas-Special Duties,CBN Gov-North,Finance Minister-North,Dr.Adesina-Agric(Dis Guy Good)...Asiwaju Tinubu will surely nominate for various boards of federal parastatals and Agencies cos he is the architect of this victory APC is enjoying @ the moment

Hahahhaaaha the opposition has resumed in office. There is a difference between a spoilt child and a determined child. the other will have money and self destruct the other will have very little and achieve despite the odds. The days of Ministers children posting selfie of ill-gotten wealth is over. The days of asking how much did someone steal of public funds is over. If Buhari cannot do so we will help him do that.
Thank you.

I definitely thought about these two. I have my reservations about Utomi on account of how he ran Volkswagen of Nigeria (VON) aground. As a member of the economic team, yes since he understands the underlying currents of Political-Economy purely from theoretical perspective. I believe he also has high level of personal integrity.

Bros, forget Pat Utomi; that guy naturally belong to class.

You forget to mention BANK PHB....

Even Fashola won't be able to solve the rot that is the power sector. We, Nigerians, are the issue. Except he is ready to pull out everything and start from scratch without Nigerians, I don't see him making any appreciable impact.

You are right my friend. I remember how determined Chief Bola Ige was when he was chose by Obasanjo to lead Power ministry but as soon as he settles down in office, d enemies within started shooting at him

Re: Likely Composition Of General Buhari's Cabinet by Nobody: 6:01pm On Apr 01, 2015
We need soludo, Utomi and fashola desperately in the new govt

Abike dabiri cannot handle information portfolio, by the time GMB starts with austerity measures, the pressure to defend such will be heavy on her.

Let the technocrats handle administrative portfolios,while the party faithfuls get ceremonial roles.

We need to stop income leakages,and reduce over head expense. Govt should sell those jets, reduce estacode. Roles like minister of state for finance, min of state defence b abolished

He should not just remove all the former guys. Deziani et al. They have to remain and sort out and undo all the damage before they are let go. A new appointee will not necessarily be able to navigate the changes they might have made. So they should remain for a while under strict supervision.

For all practical purposes, even though the results are still being collated, I am deeply convinced that General Buhari will win this election by a very comfortable margin.

It is also my believe that President Jonathan will graciously concede defeat in a very mature and rancour free manner. He will not contest the results in court even though his acolytes and party men will stridently want him to. I believe, GEJ does not want to leave office looking like a sore loser.

Having said all these, it is safe to say that the 2015 Presidential Elections has been won and lost.

The elections are over!!!

What then will be the likely composition of General Buhari's cabinet? From keen observations of Buhari's campaign organisation, Buhari's utterances during the campaigns, and the actions and activities of various key actors in Gen Buhari's camp, I believe the following will either be in his cabinet or play key roles in his government.

It is obvious from Buhari's utterances during the campaigns that he will run a government whose policy direction and key economic decisions will be dictated by " a team". He kept harping on this.

The possible names are:

• Dr Kayode Fayemi (former governor of Ekiti State)
• Senator Olorunimbe Mamora (he vacated his senate seat for Remi Tinubu, Sen Tinubu's wife)
• Gov Raji Babatunde Fashola
• Abike Dabiri (former member House of Representatives)
• Baba Ahmed (former Ambassador, and former INEC Secretary)
• Gov Rotimi Amaechi
• Gov Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso (he is contesting a senatorial seat, but could likely accept a cabinet post)
• Prince Tonye Princewill (LP governorship candidate in Rivers State)
• Ben Akubueze (former MD NAL Merchant Bank, and Hon Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget in Lagos State)
• Dr Adesina Akinwumi (Minister of Agriculture in Jonathan’s cabinet)
• Dr Chris Ngige (senator, and former governor of Anambra State)
• Oby Ezekwesili

How did Tonye Princewill get into this list?

Rubbish. This is the turn of the Hausa Fulani and they will have a few people in there. They will also have a strong kitchen cabinet to counter any dreams of the south west to think of assuming power if GMB dies. Do you think this is South West's turn All the South West Support is now officially invalid cos the niger delta is not fighting GMB. So forget that list. The greatest threat now to the Fulanis is the SW andthey will soon be a confrontation

exactly my thought bro. trim ministerial positions to 10 sef. must everybody be a minister? Honestly, GMB has to look well before he drags himself into 'as usual'. Forget regional or party sentiments. If he must succeed, he should go for the best i swear. Most of the names i see in the suggestions here will even aid his grounding.

I will also like Buhari to draft Nigerian Celebrities as Ambassadors of FG Special Projects.

In all, let them hit the ground from day one. Use the 100 days in office to access what is left of Government's assets. Unlike in the military, GMB will have a better team to drive Nigeria forward.
I'm particularly interested at the bolded. That man's financial acumen is top-notch. Buhari's camp should get Prof Pat Utomi to be a part of their economic team SHARP SHARP!!!!

Re: Likely Composition Of General Buhari's Cabinet by handie(m): 6:17pm On Apr 01, 2015
My View: Would've said Fashola for SGF but a yoruba is already vice president. So, Amaechi as SGF, Fashola as chief of staff or minister of justice and attorney general of the federation, Abike Dabiri as minister of information(state), Kayode Fayemi as foreign affairs, Pat Utomi as minister of finance and national Planning, Oby Ezekwesili as minister of state finance, General Buhari taking special charge of ministry of defence, Charles Soludo as minister of trade and commerce, Adebola Williams as SA to the president on new media, Lola Shoneyin as SA to the President on information, Dele Momodu for minister of information, Chris Ngige for health, don't know much about the northern politicians who are technocrats that can help in moving the ship of state forward. Looking @ the pool of individuals who are technocrats and are proven in their fields of endeavour available for GBM to chose from, a smile comes to my face and i believe that indeed, We are marching forward. Long life Mr. Preident and my advice, chose on merit not on the basis of party loyalty. Nigeria comes first before APC. SAI President Muhammadu Moses Buhari
