Relief came the way of ministers on Friday as President Goodluck Jonathan failed to effect a cabinet shake-up as widely speculated.

Fear of cabinet shake-up had on Thursday gripped many ministers as Jonathan convened an emergency Federal Executive Council meeting.

The emergency meeting however discussed the Federal Government’s medium-term fiscal framework for 2014-2016 appropriation years.

Dear president

Time and space may not allow me to add the negative part of your government hence the positives and the need to correct and improve. On 28th of this month make me 41 years on earth, only in your administration I witness empty filling stations, running rails, Agriculture revolution, airport transformation, electoral reform, electricity reforms, education, roads, improved external affairs policy, etc. To me, the Nigeria you inherited is like a burnt house, not possible to rebuild in four years, your zeal and patriotism in tackling the mountainous tasks simultaneously gives me hope of light at the end of the tunnel. I make bold to urge you to disregard the intimidation and ranting of all the MERGING NUISANCE and concentrate on making the country real giant of Africa. Why change a winning team when we are striving to top African development premier league. I make bold to urge you to declare for second term, you deserve it, you will get it.

uncle joe still dey dey ZzZleep.

GEJ will act very soon.

make them dey speculate dey go. Gej is focused on developmental issues. Every thing is not about politics

This headline by Punch is completely misleading. It assumes the president called the emergency meeting for cabinet changes, which is not the case.

It is wrong to say the president failed to do something when he never intended to do such thing. I tire for all these Tinubu newspapers.

Sincere 9gerian: I said it on this forum that when GEJ will do cabinet reshuffle, no one would know. All the speculations in May amounted to nothing. Now, the President is doing it at his own time and his own way.

I'm not really in support of frequent changes in govt. I believe people should be given time to achieve results and consolidate (for those who are working towards achieving results). I believe whole sale changes mid-way in a tenure is not a sign of a focused govt. I know the President is also an advocate of allowing appointees, who are working, sufficient time achieve results. I hope the president limits the changes to the few ministers who have been occupying space and doing minimal work or nothing. I also suspect that some ministers nominated by the few anti-GEJ governors may suffer collateral damage.

Whatever happens, I hope thepresident retains the ministers of finance, works, agriculture, aviation (if she's not interested in the Anambra polls), power, trade and investment, information and a few others.

Who knows, the meeting may even have nothing to do with cabinet changes

The above was my post last night. It has proved to be very prophetic.

FACTS: President Jonathan does not like frequent changes in govt. He believes in allowing people enough time to achieve results and consolidate.

I also think the practice of sacking a whole cabinet in between tenure is a sign of lack of focus. A focused, purposeful and determined leader is expected to pick the right team from the outset and hit the ground running. While minor changes can be made any time, it doesn't make sense to sack a whole cabinet in-between tenure.

Even in football, there are limits to the changes a team can make during a football match and even all through the competition.

I wouldn't be suprised if SOME of Jonathan's ministers continue working with him till 2019.

Sincere 9gerian:

I just have to say YES!

awodman: Jonathan will never reshuffle his cabinet...let's wait and see...

I said this in the thread announcing the emergency meeting..my belief is stemmed from his statement before his inauguration in 2011..he did say that he doesn't believe ministers should be relieved of their posts arbitrarily but should be allowed to see the completion of their tenure..

What did you want to here.?

The Q now is : why then why did he call the meeting?

na him sabi

He need to seek for patience's opnion first.

GEJ abeg create some lacuna so u can employ me as a mini...

GEJ's cabinet is full of grossly incompetent individuals. This is about the first time when I can't name people manning our various ministries.

I however can't deny some very brilliant few like Aganga, Iweala, the Agriculture minister and one more.

Jonathan now has the strongest cabinet since he assumed office in 2010. Ngozi, Dieziani Madueke, Prof. Nebo, Maku, Aganga, Odua, Chukwu etc. Jonathan really wants to make Nigeria work, but detractors are everywhere.

All I can say is, Nigeria... E go beta

Oga GEJ knows how to scare someone... See how he scared his ministers, thinking there was a shake up only to discuss fiscal framework of 2014...lol

Misleading topic from ACN goons and touts...smh
