No fewer than five National Working
Committee (NWC) members of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) are jostling
for ministerial slots in the incoming
government of Major General Muhammadu
Buhari.
The members are: Senator Osita Izunaso,
National Organising Secretary (Imo State),
Chief George Moghalu, National Auditor
(Anambra State); Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
National Publicity Secretary (Kwara State);
Emmanuel Enukwu, National Vice Chairman,
South-East (Enugu State) and Ibrahim Jalo,
National Youth Leader (Gombe State).
According to a source, the members are
lobbying the APC National Chairman, Chief
John Odigie-Oyegun, to assist them to
realise their ministerial ambitions. While
Mohammed is finding it difficult to be
nominated by the leader of APC in Kwara
State, Senator Bukola Saraki, Izunaso is
said to be favoured by Imo State Governor,
Rochas Okorocha.
However, Enukwu is having a running battle
with the APC governorship candidate in
Enugu State, Okey Ezea, over the ministerial
slot for the state. But the national youth
leader’s ambition seemed to be enjoying
the support of the leader of APC in Gombe
State, Senator Danjuma Goje. Jalo was a
former local government chairman and
former President of the Association of Local
Governments of Nigeria (ALGON).
According to the source, the ministerial
hopefuls believed that to serve in the
cabinet of the incoming government would
be more profitable than remaining as NWC
members.
He stated that the party was battling to
convince Saraki to back Mohammed. Saraki
was said to have preferred former acting
National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Kawu
Baraje, for the ministerial position in the
state.
The party’s spokesman cannot be
nominated as Lagos State nominee as
Governor Babatunde Fashola and former
Lagos State Commissioner of Finance, Wale
Edun, are being considered for ministerial
slots Also, the president-elect has said he
would run a lean cabinet, therefore he
might not appoint ministers to represent
zones.

Same old wine in a new bottle. Recycled garbage.

I don't really like the manner at which APC wants ministerial positions to be given.

APC must not follow the path of PDP in giving ministerial positions as compensation.

I trust GMB anyway!

Allow him to do his work

y u dey believe some of these PDP e-rubbishes. Even if, the integrity of d candidate is what matters. Don't forget that it was a serious team work that produced this change, n I can bet you that whoever gets what in this administration would be well combed n would deserve it. I swear it ain't gona be business as usual in Naija anymore. Something strong tells me so. God bless Nigeria.
