Still on Buhari's new appointments : Otunba Ajiboye writes:
IF WE MUST FIX NIGERIA, APPOINTMENTS MUST BE ON MERIT:
We are in a state of emergency . The Man Mohammodu Buhari, we struggled and laboured to elect in to power, the dynamics of his accession to power took a huge swipe on all of us as a Nation. The campaigns was more populist than anything else, youths swarmed his campaign vehicle right from the tarmac, where his aircraft taxied down to the campaign ground. Alone in the car or sometime with his campaign mates, he he would rest his chin on his palm and pondered, "How do we satisfy these youths when we get to power, if by the first year there is no significant difference they will stone us " With this kind of mind set, President Buhari would not sleep at night, all that keeps ringing in his brain is how to get a better Nigeria, for instance, it didn't matter how much he associated with Gen. Dambazzau, when he was no longer fit for the consideration of NSA, he dumped him, anyone could have thought that he would appoint our own Dr. GWANDU as EVC of Ncc, when it was no longer logical , he dumped him for
someone he probably had never met. In his reasoning, if all appointees of Government had done their jobs as they should , we probably would have not being in this mess we are as a country, see, just see between Orosanye and old accountant General is an issue of 1 bn naira. This had caused so much ache in the mind of PMB, he is scared of every Nigerian, corruption has no colour or language, therefore preventing corruption through appointments too should not have colour or language...just imagine, who could have thought he would remove the wrongly appointed NPA DG and installed the old DG, this is justice, this is the way his mind works.

If we must fix Nigeria , we must do away with the contentment that comes with lackadaisical performance orchestrated by sentimental appointments based on tribe or gender. We cannot to go back to the cursed days of loot- oracy, where merit was thrown to the dogs, oh who wants to remember our immediate past, when this country was practically locked down by petroleum marketers.....oh a country that bleeds and thirsty admit plenty water. If we must fix Nigeria , we must stop encouraging those that plunged us in to the status of a failed state and encourage performance, all that matters today is to get the system to work adequately. We will not listen to any excuses of failure arising from bad appointments or appointments motivated by sentiments of tribe.

What does it profit a yoruba man of southwest, if he cannot get constant electricity, while a yoruba man heads phcn, he would rather an ibo man or a Northerner Fulani heads Phcn and he gets power to do his business. If we must fix Nigeria, we must learn from our past mistakes. OBASANJO, YARADUA, JONATHAN all were sentimental appointments, sons of akintola, awolowo, akinloye, soyinka,akinjide, Fani kayode, ojukwu, Shagari, were parked in the cabinet just to satisfy some interest. In the process of that huge uneconomical sentiments, we ran this Nation to its knees. Now its time to fix, please do not complain so as not to distract Mr fix it. When we have restored sanity, after 4 years we will then see if we should resort back to the old system, for now, we are fixing, therefore no distractions. This is what we call public administration state of emergency.

Thank you and God bless. Otunba Biodun ajiboye.
Culled from Tolu Meduna wall.
As for me, no subtraction but addition, PMB can still make all his Ministers and others appointments possibly from Daura provided it will yield positive results for this nation.
