but we are in d era of change na?

Noise makers don start again?

Buhari will simply refuse to appoint a Minister for Petroleum ...... that is not against any law!

He already has a N/Delta man as his NNPC GMD and doubles him as Minister of State for Petroleum.


I suspect the reason some people want this Petroleum Minister by all means is that they are trying to cover-up somethings in that Ministry, which will be impossible without a supervising Minister ... or when that portfolio is on Buhari's table.

Nigerians and corruption sha.

free2ryhme:

As long as Buhari will not be paid another salary as Minister of Petroleum, he can hold both positions

byrron:


The onus of proof is on u to provide the constitutional sections that grants him the power's of appointing himself a minister.

While u are on it, you can self educate yourself with these sections of the constitution:
Sec 138, Sec 147 (2), Sec 149 and if you don't like what is written on those sections, u are absolutely free to erase those sections from ur own personal copy of the constitution.

[s]Wailing for too long seem to have made some people develop psychosis. They dont even seem to understand what a presidential system of government means. Furthermore they can't seem to have the ability to read and understand the Nigerian constitution and can only read meanings to sections of the constitution that has no bearing whatsoever to the topic under discussion.[/s] DUMB and PETTY

Please read section chapter 1, part 2, subsection 5(1) which states :-
5. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the executive powers of the Federation:
It means that the president will exercise his executive powers as stipulated by the constitution and not according to his own desires/wishes that is why it states " Subject to the provisions of this constitution".


(a) shall be vested in the President and may subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly,
This also means that executive powers are vested on the president which must be in accordance with the provisions of the laws made by the National Assembly and not the ones he appropriates to himself.

be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the Federation;
The president has discretionary powers to exercise or delegate responsibilities to either his VP and Ministers or officers in the Public Service as enshrined in the constitution but not the powers to appoint himself a minister of the federation because it is alien to the constitution.

Ooooo! Why do this Ijaw people who knows nothing about Politics will open their stinky and horrific mouth to talk in politics, with their OLODO coalitions.

<Bold>Lecture time<\Bold>.

We're running a federalistic system, and the executive arms has all power to legislates on what will be the ministers and the president can even be the minister and also the president if he can run it at the same time.

So you have no right of any critics to question that. Hun?

“By virtue of Section 138 of the Nigeria Constitution of 1999 as amended, the president shall not during the tenure of his office hold any other executive or paid emolument in any capacity whatsoever.”

byrron:


Now that i have answered your questions, Can you please Tell me what you understand by these bolded constitutional sections Sec 138, Sec 147 (2), Sec 149, if you still possess the ability to read and comprehend.

Can the President appoint himself as a Minister? This is the issue in discuss and not the wild goose chase you have embarked upon.

Sadly you talked about my lack of comprehension which is an irony because the joke was on you. I had to break down those constitutional sections you sighted to a kindergarten level so you can comprehend what exactly it is and not what you thought it was.

SmartMugu:
Has anybody ever heard of these groups before? Did Buhari ask for double salary?

“By virtue of Section 138 of the Nigeria Constitution of 1999 as amended, the president shall not during the tenure of his office hold any other executive or paid emolument in any capacity whatsoever.”

free2ryhme:
I am really ashamed at the kinds of comments on this forum. It seems they are only inspired by resentment of the Ijaw groups rather than by any logic in response to the group's demands. Nigeria may never move forward if we continue to treat national issues purely out of ethnic or partisan sentiments.

I expect commenters to question the correctness of the claim of these groups: if the constitution actually says the president may not hold another office, why can't we ask him to abide by the constitution? If these guys are misquoting the constitution then we must correct them.

We forget also that this is a democracy. People have a right to air their views. Insulting people for airing their constitutional views is a very primitive act and we need to desist from it.

If you are afflicted with myopia, let me increase the font so you can see it better;

5. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the executive powers of the Federation:

(a) shall be vested in the President and may subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly, be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the Federation;

Now if your problem is comprehension, then let me break it down for you;

It means the executive powers of the Federation is vested in the president and he can exercise such powers directly or though the Vice - president and ministers or other public officers appointed by the president.

I hope i have been of help.[/s] RECYCLED CRAP, I JUST EXPLAINED THE SAME THING TO YOU AND YOU KEEP RECYCLING SOMETHING THAT IS STRAIGHT FORWARD.

Holyman3:



The correct question should be, where were animals like you to defend your useless constitution when OBJ doubled as minister and president?

Why don't you quietly check out the constitution and find out if they are saying the truth or not, instead of trying to defend corruption with another corruption..

Sometimes I just wonder if some of you were formed by spermsss or just urine.

PMB can not entrust the portfolio on any body for now (he is surrounded wit thieves ,remember? ),........ not even when the ministry is undergoing sanitization necessitated by the disastrous level it was left by the previous administration, thanks to an IJAW man and a biafra-bound citizen( a frog-eyed b.itch) presently facing trial in the united kingdom.

Someone is really not advising Buhari right.

Unless he's attempting to rewrite section 138 of the constitution, then he needs to find another minister from ND region or the woman/man with the most qualified certificate.

An igbo women, Allison Madueke, siphoned the ND oil money in her personal account. I would advise Buahri to appoint a ND man/woman so that ND will have no one else to blame but their son.

The activities of boko haram have become a national emergency that needs urgent action.
So Buhari should rather double as minister of defence so that he can properly tackle boko haram considering his military experience.
