MrCounselor:

I don't understand your problems with ministers.
What if PMB decides to stick with the perm secs fro the next 4years then?
He has been using them and Nigeria have not collapsed yet. After a year Nigerians will actually know he's unwilling to appoint any Zap.ing minister, maybe by then you would be calling him Baba Snail.
Grow out of the archetypal minister-strewn government... I can live without them. What good came out of Allison Maduekwe being a petroleum minister, or people who knows nothing about avaition yet being a misnister there just to appoint someone as minister. Mmtschew.
Cut PMB some slacks, people.

Ghandi12:


Your choice of word is similar to the alleged one used by the SP Bukola Saraki on the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. Everyone that expects respect from others should understand the law of reciprocity.

Civil service is an enviable career and should not be derided. Politicians are not necessarily more intelligent or more resourceful than their contemporaries in civil service. Fashola, Oshiomole, El-Rufai, Ribadu, Osinbajo, and many others are products of Nigeria civil service and they are all still contributing to the development of this Nation.

agabaI23:
Mr counselor, if he does not want to appoint ministers, it is his kettle of fish and I have no probems with. I however used ministerial list as an example Oga counsellor. You should have read between the lines before going into a lecture. Is that how you counsel people?

Is ministerial list the only thing that will need senate's approval?

midolian:
Saraki don spoil hinself. He will go down in history as the most disrespected senate president as a result of the treacherous means through which he occupied that exalted seat.

Mogidi:


Are you people inviting anarchy?

Rexology:

Buy a copy of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, read it 2 Times in the morning, 3times in the afternoon and 5times at night for 7months. If your Ignorance continues, please consult T B Joshua and thank me afterwards.

Mogidi:


Are you people inviting anarchy?

guardsman:


God forbid! If voting out a clueless, corrupt, inept & dysfunctional govt is wrong, i don't want to be right. Saraki has further damaged d chances of PDP in 2019 because his connivance wit his soulmates in d discredited PDP is d only reason why we hav dis impasse. Nigerians hav seen dat Saraki lacks integrity because he is not APC but PDP in d guise of APC. Who is fooling who. Nigerians ar not deceived.
PMB is working, making money 4 nigeria & rendering accounts in a transparent manner. d foreign reserves has moved frm $29b to over $31b in just one month even without ministers.
PMB is a General dat has fought many battles & he will hav no problem dealing wit d treacherous fool.
Saraki, d wolf in sheep's clothing, d PDP's mole in APC's time will come & he, Saraki knows dat it won't be long frm now.

bamidele029:
He he he, Saraki you sef don become ordinary senate president karma is on time

agabaI23:
And he is also going to work without SGF, has he appointed a chief of staff yet? I now know you guys are confused like he is. You even accepted he needs some ministers not all? Talking before thinking like Buhari acts before thinking...

MrCounselor:

Why? U MUST BE HIGH ON SOMETHING I DO NOT KNOW.
Here is for knowledgeable fellas, dole out your point from the consitution, make your reference as salient as possible so we can diagnose it. Quoting a technical book like that can be a show of ignorance.
You might be helping lots of Nairalanders out, me inclusive.

Rexology:

Am sorry if you felt insulted by my earliar post.
Section 147(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is clear on the issue of Ministers,therefore the President CANNOT chose to govern without appointing Ministers(at least 36Ministers).

lawanson44:
[size=18pt]Buhari will soon.....

Osubande will be kicked out...

And then Saraki will become the next President after Dullardihno![/size]

9jatatafo:


PMB is a sole administrator. It beats my imagination that a democratically elected president has no ministers. APC are accusing the ex finance minister that she withdrew some money without approval and I am wondering who approved the funds PMB shared to states all in the name of bail out. We are in a big mess

hush15:


That's APC mentality for you. In less than two months, they have ridiculed the hallowed chambers of the NASS, diminished the exalted office of the presidency and still counting...


its well because there is God. Is there any way to fast forward 2015 to 2019 so I can vote these edits out. Meanwhile, the should keep ridiculing the Senate o. All that is needed to impeach Buhari is the APC unity forum and the minority members....


One more thing for Nigerians to observe, which is the abuse of office just because their preferred candidates didn't win. They claiming betrayal as a ground to abuse a constitutional elected officer. Is this what you voted for?

millionaireman:


How did the Senate President and his other officers of the Senate violate the constitution to attain their positions?

Were they not elected by the majority in the senate on inauguration day?

The Senate Clerk changed the rules for the election of Senate Principal Officers in 2015, just like INEC changed the rules for the general election of 2015 by bringing in card readers; Muhammadu Buhari won and was congratulated by the losers.

Is Buhari administration not making Nigeria ungovernable?

Whynotthetruth:


Buhari/Osibanjo may most likely pay the worst of prices if they don't take time here...because Saraki APC supporters with PDP has got the constitutional number to impeach them...automatically promoting Saraki to president... so if they don't sit up then there seats may become shaky...while Saraki cannot be impeached by them alone because they lack the numbers... Saraki bu otito toro n'akpa amu If you leave it wahala...if you cut it wahala

Whynotthetruth:

bolded shows you're still in secondary school...go back and sleep and prepare for school tomorrow... smh...

MrCounselor:

Thank you bro, you buttressed your point beautifully without no stress. You just enlightened me.

But the main verb in section(1) are: SHALL & MAY (not MUST)... Meaning he may choose to or not, just expected of the president.

Now to the house, what if he choose not?
But I doubt he wouldn't choose any, just trying not to make costly mistakes. And by the way, Nigeria is not faring badly at the moment except terrorism even though Security Chiefs are intact too. My mind goes all out to the terrorism victims.

EdCure:

Serves him right. Lets see how he arrogate more power to himself same way he seized the Senate.
I'll advice Buhari to go ahead and swear-in his ministers should the criminal Saraki try to pose a stumbling block.

specco:
Majority of Nigeran voters earnestly wish they could turn back the hand of time to pre March 28 but its too late. The damage is already done until another opportunty in 2019. Once bitten twice shy.
