Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari is considering merit as the core criteria for his cabinet.



He said that merit should supersede federal character for appointments, GBAMTv says.

“Nigerians expect the best to be chosen by the team manager or the coach in order to get the desired results.

“At that instance, nobody considers where a player or players come from. All they expect of the coach are players who merit places in the team and can get results.”

“I don’t take my health for granted. So when going for a medical doctor, I go for the best not considering which part of the country the doctor comes from,” the vice president added.

“If we take government seriously, we must as Nigerians look for merit before federal character.” he said.

Following the Senate adjournment till 21 July, President Buhari’s ministerial list will have to be delayed for at least another four weeks or better still, till after the Ramadan festival.

Yes I trust Buhari Osinbanjo no tribal hate like Anambra people do let Nigeria stop giving them Oyel money let see if they will not regret it and embrace Unity.

(/

In other words we should be prepared to see the Ministers coming from a particular region.
.
Mr Commissioner, Sir, if we are so bent on merit why do we still have Quota system when admitting people into Federal Government Colleges?
Ditto, Federal parastatals and the civil service?

.

Is this commissioner ok at all? Just like all the recent appointments are all lopsided favoring the north abi?
No other region have technocrats of impeccable brilliance Mr mere commissioner?
Isn't that what you are trying to sell to us?
So sorry for the SW, you guys are eternal slaves to the north

Are Nigerians concerned about tribe and federalism too? :-/
We just need the right people for the job! ...and thats why Nigerians are still tolerating your slow manner of approach to National issues

Another big fat lie from these people.

He should do the needful and stop acting as if he is sorting through 170million nigerians

If it is truly on merit, then good; but if the merit he means is appointing 90 percent northerners, then that is calumny at its highest peak. Nigerians know the north has the highest illiteracy rate, how are they now the most worthy for government posts.

When he fills the cabinets with Ab0kis don't begin to shout.

That means Mr Daura is planning to appoint his ministers from one region. If mr clueless is taking about merit, then I don't expect to see northerners in the council chamber cos no of them is more qualified than an average southerner.

Yeah....right! And i hate a tasty meal of Ofe-Nsala and pounded yam!
