About five weeks to the inauguration of the General
Muhammadu Buhari government, the shape of the new cabinet
is beginning to emerge. Daily Sun gathered that the next
Federal Executive Council may be composed of Nigerians who
are not only driven by the desire to restore the dream of the
founding fathers but also share the modest lifestyle of the
incoming president.
Resolved to work with the best, it was learnt that the president-
elect is considering the likes of former ministers of petroluem
and finance, Prof Tam David-West and Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu.
Others are former president of the Nigeria Bar Association
(NBA) and governorship candidate of the Action Congress of
Nigeria in Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu; former minister of
sports, Bolaji Abdullahi, presidential aspirant of APC, Mr. Sam
Ndah-Isaiah and Lagos State governor, Mr. Babatunde
Fashola.
It was gathered that while the President-elect is not going to
stand against the APC that won him the Presidency, he has
resolved to pick technocrats and those he trusts to run his
most important ministries.
Towards this end, a source close to the president-elect and
who had been privy to meetings being held, revealed: “It’s the
President-elect’s personal wish to return former Nigeria’s oil
Minister, David West to the Petroleum Ministry.”
According to him, David West is incorruptible, frugal, and loyal
even in trying times.
The source also revealed that while a lot of qualified
technocrats are being bandied about and their names
forwarded by party chiefs and lobbyists for the minister of
finance, the inner circle of the President-elect is leaning toward
the expertise of Dr. Idika Kalu, a World Bank specialist
consultant, who, for many years, worked with the bank’s
various development programmes catapulting the Korean
economy from the third world into its present competitive
global market.
Moreover, explained the source, it was Idika Kalu who, in 2005,
openly opposed the Paris debt relief as canvassed by the
Olusegun Obasanjo administration. In an essay in the
Washington based AMERICA Mi DREAM Magazine, the financial
guru argued:
“What Nigerian authorities have in fact, opted to do is a rather
expensive debt refinancing. More bluntly, our first option in
dealing with our enhanced revenue cannot be for a ‘debt exit
treatment,’ but rather, for the further growth and development
of the Nigerian economy. This is the sustainable way of helping
Nigeria’s fight against poverty, which the Paris club clearly
subscribes to.”
In recognising the leaning of the caucus to Idika kalu, the
source believes that the President-elect, as in the case of David
West, wants Idika Kalu in the ministry of finance. However,
position of the coordinating minister of the economy will be
scrapped, while there will be an economic advisory committee.
For the ministry of sports, Abdulahi, Nigeria’s former Minister
of Sports, may return. He had resigned as minister in Goodluck
Jonathan’ government, owing to his leaning towards the new
PDP, the faction of the PDP, which his mentor, Senator Bukola
Saraki and five governors had formed.
Fashola and Akeredolu, it was learnt, are being considered as
ministers of the Federal Capital Territory and Justice,
respectively.
On security, it was gathered that Buhari is considering one
General Garba as Defence Minister, National Security Adviser
(NSA) or Chief of Staff.
General Cyril Iweze, a then young Igbo officer who served
directly under Buhari in the First Division before the Nigeria
Civil War, may lead the operation against Boko Haram.
General Iweze was the Nigerian Commander of ECOMOG in
Liberia. He’s reputed to have given the Maitatsene sect hell in
the defunct Gongola State.
The source revealed that General Buhari may constitute a
Special Force made of serving officers and retired officers, who
would be given a mandate to finish up the Boko Haram
insurgency.
Nda Isaiah, publisher of Leadership Newspaper, who is noted
for his ‘Big Ideas’ when he contested for APC presidential
ticket, it was gathered my be minister of education.
Meanwhile, it was equally learnt that appointments in the
Buhari government would be subjected to public asset
declaration. Sources revealed that the president-elect would
not have those whose assets run into billions in his
government, as he wants to wage serious war against
corruption.

Would you for once write something reasonable? Your recent posts are bereft of sound logic you were once known for. Could it be the trauma that came with the loss of election?
While your idle self is sitting and waiting for the list of Buhari's ministers, you have been alive, praising criminals in GEJ's government. How low would you get?

70% of Nigerians are so much expecting miracles from GMB. Only God can get the work done through him.

Mr Oga, your comments will have no weight in this coming dispensation. You better return their money and nurture positive taught about the next democratic rule.

The first step against corruption is to have a cabinet full of non corrupt technocrats. . Taking this into consideration, Fashola becomes a big baggage Mr buhari should avoid. He refused to implement the Freedom of information law and lost almost all court cases instituted by the lagos state government against the FG. Essentially his depth as a legal luminary even with his SAN has not been proven. Let us not even delve into the uncharitable details of his monumental heist together with his comrade in crime Tinubu in Lagos. I also don't know what Mr west and Mr Idika have been doing all these years. It is almost 30 years since they left government, they are all chasing 80 and have not been active lately.

I laughed when I saw David West. West is Archaic and out of touch. If you read his recent piece you will marvel at him.... I am waiting for the full list first before we start proper... As for Fashola as AGF, that appear more like a joke

I WAS THINKING I ONCE READ A THREAD ON THIS FORUM,ALLEGING THAT GMB SIGNED AN UNDERTAKING WITH TINUBU,AGREEING THAT TINUBU WILL NOMINATE 9MINISTERS THAT WILL MAKE UP GMB'S CABINET OFWHICH MINISTERS OF PETROLEUM,FINANCE,INTERIOR AND THAT OF WORKS WERE NOT NEGOTIABLE....HOW COME WE ARE SEEING SOMETHING DIFFERENT...IF THIS THREAD AND THAT OF D AFORE-MENTIONED ARE TRUE,THEN I FORESEE GMB ND TINUBU HAVING ISSUES IN D FUTURE.

Keep off!!!

You've lost the election, give it a rest. None of their backgrounds can be as dirty as those of the scoundrels you supported during the GEJ Govt.

Don't let hate consume you.
