Dude, leave GEJ out of this. He's currently on a vacation abroad and enjoying his life. He said he will take some time off politics which is what he's doing.
Focus on Buhari, who unseated an incumbent president but can't show actions to merit the hype that got him elected in the first place.
Its been over thirty days since he was sworn in but he's yet to make any meaningful appointment or make any pivotal policy.
Nigeria is losing billions of dollars because of the inertia being caused by Buhari and his gang. The man doesn't even seem to care.
Admit that voting for Buhari was a grave mistake.

So how did Pius Anyim impact this very vital position you are all making noise about?

He has over 60 special assistants to himself doing nothing and getting paid while still looting.

The Chief of Staff is overrated if the leader is not the right leader

Google Pius Anyim all over , all he did was sleep, eat and drink at most meetings

Hence the shabby hand over notes. Pius Anyim never did a days job other than be a guy man with a ship heading for nowhere.

Chief of Staff is all noise bug time. Unless you have the righ hands

Pius Anyim was a waste pipe and a total disgrace to his person and to the office

So what's the rush for.

Jonathan took 1 months and 2 weeks to assemble the last criminals that brought us in this rot

OBJ took 2 months to put jus together and Baba OBJ used to work and stay up till late in the middle of the night

I've seen his Green pen on documents signed and reviewed at 2 am mid night

He was a hard worker I must confess but was stubborn and not too tact Phil in his ways
I have no doubt Buhari will take us somewhere positive

Mark my words it's not business as usual hence the frustration we are all facing

Go and read what the CBN DID OVER the elections driving the Rconomy to a halt big time

The after effect now is just a spiral of what was done, it won't disappear over night

We did not vote in a magician but a thorough Leader

Please let's be patient

Minsters are overated unless we get the right hands

I am busy working on a blue print on Job creation and the VP has read over this document with red pen over 20 times back and forth

He reads email and his active for most of the day

Nigerians will marvel when the think tank team delivers the good of this Change

It cannot be rushed

Many a times I submit research work re job creation and value in the past and ministers don't even read them at all

This is a new move , let's pray for them

By the way my work us free, I am not asking a kobo for it

I just want to make people's lives better and move the country forward

I cannot use this medium to talk up work bn done in the background

Since Buhari became president, he has been outside the country at least 3 times, had numerous meetings with the service chiefs and other guest.
Someone must have coordinated all the things, so whats all the noise about appointing a chief of staff?


PS: If the job of the chief of staff was so important, it would have been specified in the constitution.

The same goes for those shouting about advisers.....

PassingShot:

Surely someone is doing the work. Surely some people are also serving as his advisers. However, there is unquantifiable psychological positive impacts that come with naming them officially instead of they working in unofficial capacity.

PassingShot:

What patience and planning is required in naming COS, SGF and some important advisers? These are people he should have known before he was sworn in.

Your last statement is GROSSLY incorrect at this point. There is not even a possibility that PMB will perform half-poorly as GEJ.

PassingShot:

The last time I checked, I don't have to make threads to suit you.

PassingShot:
There is no gainsaying the fact that I am an ardent believer and supporter of the president. I am still proud in the little ways I contributed to his victory at the last presidential poll. Not only that I campaigned for his emergence online and offline, I also contributed financially to the course.

As I have said on many occasions in the past, it will be silly for me to want to stick out my neck to defend politicians when they’re clearly in the wrong and especially when I am not in any way related to any of them. PMB has clearly erred in this prolonged delay to name his cabinet! I once did a thread to support him when he was criticized just after twelve days in office https://www.nairaland.com/2371788/efforts-signs-president-buhari-twelve but I have no genuine reasons to continue to hold on to that position after another three weeks.

At first, I accepted that GEJ’s deliberate delay in handing over of hand-over notes of MDAs to the president was responsible for the delay in appointing his ministers BUT can the same excuse/reason still be valid for the continued stalling of this very important action more than a month after receiving the documents?

I also accepted that not knowing who the NASS leaders were going to be was partly responsible for not naming a COS and SGF but again, it’s already more than three weeks since we’ve known our Senate President and HOR Speaker! Besides, appointment of these two very important personnel (SGF & COS) have NOTHING to do with the purported “merging of some MDAs” the president is believed to be working on.

Not having a COS and an SGF must surely be impacting negatively on governance. Not acting very fast and decisively to name key advisers and some ministers (Finance, Works, Power/Energy, etc.) is surely making the president look confused and indecisive! It is irritating and even frustrating to read that we may not have ministers until late August or early September. Though I don’t want to believe this news but if it is what PMB is planning, it is in his interest to drop toying with that idea. Such action/plan is not only naïve, clueless and irritating but also very dangerous and unexplainable!

Does the president not need some of these ministers and other political appointees to drive through his policies? Or does he think he and a few clique of Fashola, Ogbonnaya Onu, Amaechi, etc (in unofficial capacities at that) can resolve all the myriad challenges in all ministries? Can the Permanent Secretaries breathe the type of fresh life needed in their ministry to it? Nigeria deserves far better than this from PMB/APC and their team.

Make no mistakes about it, sending GEJ and his team packing and the enthronement of Muhammadu Buhari as our president was the best decision Nigerians took in the last general election. But having said this, I have to add that the president has somewhat failed in the areas mentioned. PMB needs to make us continue to believe in him as the leader Nigeria needs at this critical time of our nation’s life.

If the spirit of "protection seeking" means looking for political appointment, it is an impossibility. I am satisfied with my currently position.

barcanista:
You see why I never wanted to explain the role to you? Do PAs and SSAs appear in the constitution? By the way, there is nobody that will report to an informal impostor. The CoS is a full time role and not part-time assistance.

socialmediaman:


Are you serious? It's barely 1 month plus!

Buhari will make his appointments known soon, I fully support him to clean up the rubbish past administrations piled up. I fully support him to plug the loopholes created by previous governments that ended up looting this country dry, I fully support him to change the template used in service delivery to the country..... Before appointing any minister.

Ministers should be handed a job description, not the other way when they were in charge of everything in the ministry including contract approvals, recruitments and funds disbursements.

Sweetguy25:




How can he cleanup anything or block any loopholes or install any template without the help of key strategic ministerial and other cabinet appointments?
You guys should stop deceiving yourselves.
Admit that Buhari is clueless.

mistabiola:


Help yourself sir

kenny987:


Patience and planning will only suffice if the government establishes and maintained sound communication b/w itself and it's citizens. If there are legitimate reasons beyond confusion and internal wrangling/greed fir the delay in appointing his cabinet, there should have been an official communication to that effect detailing a time frame within which d cabinet will be constituted. That is the change Nigerians envisaged, a better and more civilised way of governance not the petty pissing contests we've been having, comparing themselves with past governments.
They were voted in to set standards not cry about previous govts, deliberately centering the damage n destruction of Nigeria to the immediate past govt like we had it all rosy and sweet until 5yrs before!
Buhari's or his spokesperson should address Nigerianso in their official capacity not all these off-the-cuff statements pleading for understanding and lamenting the past. They are in charge now and the buck stops with the President and his handlers.

doncaster:
This your last paragraph sounds like you are regretting your best decision.

socialmediaman:


That's the same mistake previous governments made. Every minister needs to operate under a template created by the presidency, else they'll end up inventing their own projects for selfish interest. That's why you have many abandoned projects. Ministers need to be given a clear cut objective of why they're being hired to head the ministry. Only a strategic government knows this. You have to give a minister some mandate, you don't just appoint them to come sit I too of an existing flawed system and operate, you will end up like the previous government, and that's exactly where you critics want him to end up.

Seriously, it's hilarious! You want to sentence a government After less than 35 days in office, nice joke!
