Danjuma, Tinubu, Two Others To Determine Buhari’s Ministers by Nobody: 11:18am On Sep 27, 2015
As Nigerians await the list of ministers to form the cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari, signals from the presidential villa indicate that the President had all along depended on some rising power blocs around him to draw the final list.
The main power blocs around the President, as findings revealed, are constituted by the Emir of Borgu, Alhaji Haliru Dantoro, Mallam Mamman Daura, General TY Danjuma and Chief Ahmed Bola Tinubu.The influences commanded in the Villa by the listed powerful men are anchored on thelong years of close relationship they have been having with the President, thus wielding some measures of influence on the President’s decisions on cabinet formation and other issues.According to reports, President Buhari had consulted with them on several occasions while reviewing the list of shortlisted ministers to ensure that those selected are the square pegs in square holes.

The influential men are said to have suggested most of the ministerial nominees to Buhari having met him at different times to screen those so far shortlisted and afterwhich the President forwarded the lists to appropriate quarters for security screening The Emir of Borgu is said to be closely linked with Buhari from his days in the military. The two had their relationship cemented as the Emir stood by the former Head of State while he was in detention, handling domestic matters like a true brother.
The Emir, according to reports, won Buhari’s heart since then while the two have since been strengthening their relationship. Today, Alhaji Dantoro is one of the strongest power brokers in the seat of government, and has been part of the team said to be rallying round the President in picking competent ministers to serve in the Buhari cabinet. He is said to have suggested names to the President drawing his list from among those the President can trust, according to reports.

In the same vein, Mallam Mamman Daura is said to wield a strong influence in the Presidential Villa, amid reports that he had been part of almost every decision the President had been taking since he was sworn in.An uncle to President Buhari, Daura, according to report, relocated to the Presidential Villa with the aim of offering underground assistance to the President on political matters and has, by that wielded enormous influence which makes him a man to consult often by anyone seeking the face of the President.Daura, it was learnt, made strong inputs in the major appointments the President made some few weeks ago and which have continued to generate controversy from across the country.
The former editor of New Nigerian newspaper and former chairman African International Bank is said to have deployed his strong influence to approve and disapprove names of those Buhari should announce as his ministers to the chagrin of other interested parties.AdvertisementAn insider in the Presidential Villa power game said, “Daura’s presence in the Villa is a matter of concern to power players who are consistently being fenced off from the centre of activities in Nigeria’s seat of government at the moment. His influence is soenormous that he turned down some of those already shortlisted for ministerial jobs based on old enmity”.

The relationship between President Buhari and General Danjuma which dates back to their days in the military, findings have revealed is basically altruistic since the two have been working closely on how to assemble a crisp cabinet meant to promote Buhari’s government as result-oriented and progressive.
Danjuma is also said to have offered suggestions to the President on the names to include in his cabinet, emphasising on credible record of performances of those to be shortlisted.
A government official privy to the scheme of things in the Presidential Villa hinted that Buhari is more receptive to suggestions from the former Minister of Defence because of his belief that Danjuma is oftentimes dispassionate in many of his suggestions.Danjuma, who headed Advisory Council of Elder Statesmen during the regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan, fell apart with the former president on the basis that he was less receptive to better suggestions the committee made for propelling his government.

The former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu, is another power broker around the President who made strong input in the list of ministerial nominees to be submitted by the President to the National Assembly on Wednesday.
Buhari had conceded to Tinubu by appointing some of his trusted aides into government apart from Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Tinubu kicked out Jonathan your God through the windows, I can understand your hatred for him.
Once they are nominated by PMB, they are no longer Tinubu's candidates but PMB's.

How did Tinubu kick out GEJ? With a paltry margin of 500,000 in six states? I am sure Kwankwaso will do much better than that!!!

If this information is correct which i doubt, its a big SHAME! Shame on APC who despite the thousands in thier ranks could not find "men of integrity" as ministers after over 3months in power. Shame on Tinubu, Silva and Okorocha who after being decieved to support the Buhari project, have to prostrate and beg cap in hand for ministerial slot. Baba President Buhari must name his noise makers. Its unconstitutional to rule without them. #bringbackournoisemakers.

I know you are very dull bros, but let me break it down for you, if SW has decided to allocate crazy figures the type SE and SS allocated to GEJ and denied PMB the statutory 25% in those SW states like you guys denied him, do you really think PMB would be ruling Nigeria today?
Do you think North alone and singlehandedly can make anyone the President of the country. No region can make an individual president in today Nigeria.
Be honest for once Pa Chukwudi.

Without Tinubu's political machinery who would have stop your PDP from declaring bogus figures (3million) in Lagos to cancel out Kano ? 1million for PDP in Ogun, 1million in Oyo, 750,000 in Osun and Ondo and Fayose would've have a field to declare anything declarable in Ekiti.

It's doubtful if one can be honest at the same time be deliberately deceitful. That would be asking too much from the Chukwudi guy. I wonder if 500K was the differenc btw the votes Buhari gather in 2007, 2011 without Tinubu's support and 2015 with his support.

Tinubu gave PMB the Lagos packaging, Lagos model, he was tushed up. Check out the appealing presentations of Buhari, this is what catapaulted his acceptability. Those are Lagos touches. The likes of such were absent in only CPC days. Tinubu strategies gave Buhari the long sought victory. Papa, you don hear?

Very true Tinubu is very media Davy and his PR packaging of Buhari is what finally made a difference. Buhari had always been seen as an extremists and many were afraid of him, Tinubu's media skills showed Buhari in a new light that made him more relatable to many

If after all the media packaging he was able to manage a mere 500,000 margin in six states then i think he really needs to work on his PR skills.

If Tinubu was that influential why then didnt he declare 3million figures for PMB in lagos to at least boost up his profile?
