Boni Haruna, Ghali Na’abba, Jide Adeniji To Feature In Jonathan’s Cabinet by bappahman: 12:19am On Oct 24, 2013 |
Several sources in the know have told SaharaReporters that President Goodluck Jonathan’s picks for new cabinet members are likely to be drawn from the ranks of old and recycled politicians. Top on the list of those being considered for appointment are former Governor Boni Haruna of Adamawa, former member of the House of Representatives Ghali Na’Abba, and current chairman of the Federal Emergency Road Management Agency, Jide Adeniji. Our sources described Mr. Adeniji as one of the most favored prospects, adding that Mr. Jonathan was considering slotting him in to a plum post in the new cabinet that is close to taking shape. One of our sources said President Jonathan has decided to use the cabinet appointments to position himself to win critical states or zones in the 2015 elections. SaharaReporters was shown a shortlist of five candidates who have made it to the advanced stage of consideration for ministerial appointment. Mr. Na’Abba, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, is reported to be in the running, despite his recent history of jumping around with different political parties. Quite recently, he had a brief stint with the opposition party. But he has realigned himself with the Bamanga Tukur faction of the Peoples Democratic Party which has so far received judicial backing as well as recognition by Nigeria’s electoral commission as the authentic PDP. One of our sources described Mr. Na’Abba as “broke.” Former Governor Boni Haruna’s looming elevation to the cabinet is reportedly part of Mr. Jonathan’s strategy to weaken members of his party from Adamawa who are opposed to his reelection. Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State is a major figure in the ruling party’s splinter group. Mr. Haruna’s main impediment is that his appointment is likely to deepen the Jonathan administration’s image crisis as a government that thrives on corruption. Mr. Haruna is one of several former governors charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission with grave acts of corruption during his tenure. A source said the administration was taking steps to frustrate the case against the former Adamawa governor. Recently, the newly appointed Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) withdrew the case files of corrupt former governors from certain judges in the FCT. One of our sources said the surprise judicial move was part of a design to hand the cases to judges amenable to inducement in order to make sure that the cases are adjourned indefinitely or settled in favor of the accused governors. Nenadi Esther Usman, a former Minister of Finance under President Olusegun Obasanjo, is also one of the ministerial prospects, our sources disclosed. In 2011, Ms. Usman was elected a senator representing Kaduna State in the National Assembly. However, our source said Ms. Nenadi Usman has a rival in Isaiah Balat who is reportedly being considered for the same ministerial slot. Mr. Balat is a former senator as well as former minister in Mr. Obasanjo’s cabinet. |

The vultures are gathering as the day of the long knives fast approaches. State-craft has been jettisoned for 'state-graft'. Merit has been sacrificed on the altar of bogus claim to imaginary electoral might\prowess. Cry my beloved country cos the 'civilian' foot soldiers are here; ready to commit acts of genocide on the economy, our honour and integrity. One of the men is reported as 'broke', I bet he'd break the banks before he leaves. 1 Like |

bappahman: If oga jonah appoints boni haruna then ..........Coming from sahara reporters the news is not authentic. Boni haruna was a rogue used by Atiku to loot back then when he was governor of my beloved state. I don't want to ever see him holding key positions. He should remain in Dubai and rot there. |

Its a pity some are blinded by hated/tribalism to see that Nigeria is in deep wahala. the leadership has no clue on what to do or has simply refuse to do it, either one shows that the future is bleak |
