Buhari's Ministers Are Practical, Energetic And Of Good Reputation~The Economist by NgeneUkwenu(f): 10:28pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
MUHAMMADU BUHARI has earned the nickname “Baba Go Slow” from fellow Nigerians, for he has taken his time out of the blocks. The former military ruler, who won elections in March after promising to root out corruption, has governed alone ever since taking office in May. He said he would appoint a cabinet by the end of September. Yet as the deadline passed he had named only one minister, for oil. And he did not have to look far to find the candidate—he picked himself. This week, at last, Nigerians were given his nominees, but not their positions in his cabinet. Finding a clean team in one of the most corrupt nations on earth is not easy, but Mr Buhari has tried. His choices are practical, energetic and of (mostly) good reputation. They include Babatunde Fashola, an ex-lawyer known for sprucing up Lagos, one of Africa’s most unruly cities, and Kayode Fayemi, the radical former head of Ekiti state. Few of the other candidates are household names, but given the track record of the politicians who ruled for the past 16 years that is no bad thing. Nigerians do not mind having waited. In the time they have been twiddling their thumbs, they have noted a “Buhari effect” whereby the nation has been terrified into better order. Power supplies have improved, leaving them in darkness less often. Oil refineries are working better too. Frayed diplomatic relations are being restored and stolen money is being hunted down. Days before the nominees were announced, the former oil minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, was arrested in London with £27,000 in cash. She denies charges of money laundering, yet oil theft increased under her watch. For many Nigerians, her extravagant displays of jewellery and chartering of private jets epitomised all that was wrong with the old cadre of politicians. After four months alone at the helm, Mr Buhari is yet to spell out policies for the economy and oil industry. The Senate must screen the president’s selections and further choices must be made. Mr Buhari named only 21 candidates of a total of 36. He promises the rest soon. True to form, he is in no rush. http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21672334-long-wait-new-cabinet-continues-baba-go-slow?fsrc=scn/tw/te/pe/ed/babagoslow 32 Likes

This is what the most Widely respected, Read and Circulated Newspaper in the whole World has to say about Buhari and APC: Nigerians do not mind having waited. In the time they have been twiddling their thumbs, they have noted a “Buhari effect” 1. Whereby the nation has been terrified into better order. Remember this is not From The Punch, Sahara Reporters, Premium Times and not even from the much loved The Nation Newspaper! Please Dear Nigerians, A Standing Ovation For Muhammadu Eziachi Buhari!!!! 188 Likes 16 Shares

Another report from Tinubu's media empire. Another Yoloba propaganda reportage direct from the Economist HQ in London Btw, OP I like the name you gave Buhari. Buhari Eziachi is right indeed. I dont know the rationale behind that name but if it because of the man I respect the most on the forum- Eziachi, then it is well deserved. Like I have always maintained, haters will continue to hate and cry while Nigeria will continue to progress. God bless this country whether wailing wailers or transistor radio secessionists like it or not. Iseeeeee!! 28 Likes |

This is the opinion of men who's opinions are sought after even by foreign investors, and not some ministerial aide job seeking barrel-head whose opinion finds substance only amongst his nairaland band of ignorant cheerleaders. Buhari would drive the final nail into the coffin of the Killer Party through an unparralled performance in the next couple of years. I just can't wait honestly. NOI has seen the Light. Edwin Clerk has seen the Light. Akpabio has seen the Light. Omenka has been seeing the Light since 2003. God bless President Mohamadu Kelechi Buhari (GCFR)- Ogbuagwu 1 of Aba 53 Likes |

Notice how the wailing trolls have all run out of thrash to spew? You can tell that we are about to witness the awakening of the greatest black nation in the world.
