So you believe he is competent enough for the position, yet you are one of those who claim the FG is trying to islamize Nigeria by floating sukuk bond. That makes you a huge, big, fat, gigantic hypocrite, which is typical of you, ipobians.

This is good news. Nigeria desperately needs to vary its financing mix. We can't survive on a limited stream of financing sources.
