The battle for slots – and the speculations – in the 43-man cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari intensified yesterday, with ministers-designate trying to outwit one another.

The President is said to have raised a Kitchen Cabinet advisory committee on how to put a round peg in a round hole.

The advisory committee is said to have concentrated on the 29 new members who are joining the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

Most of the 14 old ministers will return to their portfolios, according to sources close to the committee.

But there is a pall of uncertainty over Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, even as Monday is tentatively slated for the inauguration of the ministers.

Ministers-designate have been meeting some power brokers to intercede on their behalf for portfolios where they will be able to influence decisions, The Nation learnt.

Some ministers-designate are said to be lobbying for ministries where they can impact on the lives of Nigerians with much visibility.

Some of the ministers-designate have, however, been suspected of lobbying for some portfolios, which they believe can help to oil their political machines ahead of the 2023 general elections.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: “Most of the ministers-designate have stayed put in Abuja to outplay each other in the lobbying for portfolios. Since they have no direct access to the President, they have been mounting pressure on some power brokers and members of the President’s Kitchen cabinet.

It’s an in-house/informal advisory committee made up of his very close advisers and kitchen cabinet members. It’s very normal in every presidency. The president is not a super human who will personally know all the 43 minister designates that were nominated by state governors and party leaders. You don’t expect only him to singlehandly review their resumes and assign portfolios to them arbitrarily.

What is most important is that portfolios should be assigned based on competency, loyalty to the country and good understanding of the next level policy of the administration.

President is mad ooo

Lobbying for everything in this Country

What exactly is d "next level policy" of d administration? Can u shed some light on it? U said "portfolios should be assigned based on competency, loyalty to the country" and u said it is a normal practice in every presidency 4a committee to b set up to allocate ministerial portfolios. Was this d same process that was followed in 2015? And were "portfolios assigned based on competency, loyalty to the country" in 2015?

Must u defend everything? Even if u are being paid to do this kind of dirty job from time to time, cant u just allow them to fool themselves alone? must u join them too?
Was it not Bubu who said he would only appoint those he knew?

never have i witnessed such.... Select people without even having in mind portfolio to be assigned... Just selected people for the sake of selection... Anyone who defends the scenario really needs to have his ot her brain checked.....
