How can a US president who was elected in Nov 2008 but sworn in in 20th Jan 2009 nominate his cabinet in December 2008?

Not every opinion posted online should be regarded as fact.
I guess speculations on Buhari's cabinet composition prior to his inauguration should also be considered as an early nomination of ministers.

Shameless protection seeker!!

Whynotthetruth:


Instead of this show of academic laziness...jump on the internet and research to prove Op wrong because this is not a beer parlour where opinions from dirty asx sells

Whynotthetruth:


How come you failed to see the invectives and death wishes against the person of Op?...Have you admonished those or because they hold similar political views as you hence have right to vomit venom and spit on others...I hate hypocrites...

Beremx:
hahahahahahahahaha!!! Shey na the barcanista wey i sabi well abi na another one? lol at not worthy to dust barcanista's shoes.





bwahahahahahaha!!!! See as the guy don deceive nairaland babes finish. Chai!!


Una goodnight o!

StOla:


And of what relevance is this supposed gaffe to a president who is determined to follow his own righteous methods to appointing his cabinet?

Now that the president has told everyone not to bother holding their breaths, I hope he will find another irrelevant topic to belabour.

Have the ministries seized to function without a minister?

I believe Barcanista is the biggest hypocrite on Nairaland, hence why it's best to keep away from his threads. The only reason why he keeps at what he does is because people give him too much relevance. These days, once i come across his threads, I avoid them. I would advice you to do the same.

My Dear, whoever wants to cry and curse should be allowed to. There is this saying that "silence is the best answer for a fool". My silence to their insults should send a message.

He is a better person than you, I've been watching the way you belittle yourself from family to romance and finally to Politics section.

I remember how you spilled the private dealiings you had with babyosisi in public.

Berem, shame on you

Berem, you are the one that need CHANGE

Berem, stop acting toutish on NL and concentrate on your private life because it needs serious introspection

Beremx:
I swear,this would be the last time i shall comment on his threads. trust me!!

thanks for the advice comrade. good night!

UnknownT:
If truly Barcanista's posts don't pain APC supporters, I see no reason they should be commenting on his threads. Even their responses are reeked with insults, "Protection seeker, wailing wailer, this and that". Nairaland APC members, why not ignore Barcanista's threads if you know that your comments won't be to counter his claims but rather to taunt and insult him

Beremx:

You will have to wail till you enter grave because power will never return to PDP!!

segalex:
if I had my way, I would tell buhari not to name any minister!
what has really been the productivity levels of the former ministers?
I personally think it's just a waste of resources having some big for nothing politicians as ministers when there are permanent secretaries and directors who could function in the same capacities.
I have not really been impressed with pmb's performance so far but not naming the ministers is probably the least of my grouse with him!

barcanista:
Good evening all, I was reading an article authored by Buhari that he wrote on Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/nigeria-committed-to-good-governance-and-fighting-terror/2015/07/20/8c1acd00-2e21-11e5-8353-1215475949f4_story.html. In the said article he attempted to justify delay in his appointment of Cabinet by alleging that President Obama also had some delay in his first term. Please read this excerpt..

"When cabinet ministers are appointed in September, it will be some months after I took the oath of office. It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim." --- (Pres. Muhammadu Buhari)

I paused to ask myself whether the Obama that Muhammadu Buhari was referring to is the incmbent President of The United States or another Obama.

Obama Named His Cabinet Before Taking Office:
Obama was elected President on November 4, 2008. As President-elect Obama immediately started the nomination of his Cabinet. By December 17, 2008, Barack Obama had already nominated all his Cabinet Secretaries. Obama was sworn-in on January 20, 2009. www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Barack_Obama/Appointments_and_nominations_as_President

The only late cabinet nomination of Obama was Judd Gregg- the nominee for Commerce Secretary. His nomination came on Feb 3, 2009. That is 13 days after Obama was sworn in. The delay was because the FIRST nominee for the position Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination on January 6, 2009 due to some allegation against him as New Mexico state Governor (He was nominated on the 4th of Dec 2008. See his own word

"I have concluded that the ongoing investigation also would have forced an untenable delay in the confirmation process,"
"Given the gravity of the economic situation the nation is facing, I could not in good conscience ask the president- elect and his administration to delay for one day the important work that needs to be done."

So which Obama was Buhari referring to?

Buhari The Record Breaker:
Already Buhari has made a record as the first elected President of Nigeria to stay in office for 53 days without having Secretary to the Government of the Federation. ExPresidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr Jonathan named Ufot Ekaete and Ayim Pius Ayim as SGF same day of their inauguration in 1999 and 2011 respectively. Late Yar'adua named Babagana Kingibe as SGF 24hrs after his inauguration in 2007. Buhari however is yet to. This shows that Buhari is not serious with the business of governance.

Buhari will break another record should he fail to nominate Ministers by the end of this month. He will break the record of Musa Yar'adua as the longest streak without naming a cabinet. Yar'adua named his cabinet on the 28th of July 2007. Buhari's delay till September will mean beating Yar'adua's record by more than a month (depending on the date he nominates his cabinet). Buhari will also become the only elected African and Global leader to stay in office for FOUR months without a cabinet.

These records are not the kind of record that any serious country wish for. I don't think Nigeria's case is different. Finally, Muhammadu Buhari should stop trying to act smart by playing on Nigeria's intelligence. His failure to name a cabinet shows that he isn't prepared for leadership.


May God Bless Us All

Candyrain:


Are you sure he was referring to Obama or to Osama? I think he was referring to the later.
The truth was that I was dumbfounded when I learnt about him releasing his ministrial list in September.

Beremx:
Goodnight o!

joseph1832:
Oh so Yar'Adua named his cabinet 2 months after being sworn in, that's nice, so you guys know this barcanista I wonder why you've been ranting that PMB should name his own cabinet?.

Given that those who even named their cabinet within days/weeks after being sworn into office were the most corrupt civilian presidents ever!. Yar'Adua who delayed his appointment fared so well only that his life was cut short.

PMB should take his time appointment his cabinet, after all "what is worth doing, is worth doing well". GEJ and OBJ who wasted no time in appointing their cabinet were the personification of corruption. Even GEJ made OBJ look like a small boy in terms of corruption.

"Delay is not denial".

Slow down Mate... Don't impress me with the wits and poetry... I merely observed HOW rudely you addressed the lady, the least you can do is spew her shortcomings or sins. I am not interested in the party and ideology clash.
Thanks

Yaradua is now the refence point abi, is that the Change you promised us. Looking for how to break Yaradua records

You know that's not possible, Barcanista knows how to hit them exactly where it hurts so they come to see how to cover up their mess. APC are acting more like the opposition rather than the ruling party.
