Unveiling 21 Political Archangels of Buhari's Cabinet.

As the long awaited President Buhari’s ministerial nominees was unveiled on Tuesday 6th October, 2015 by Senate President Bukola Saraki, it was not unexpected to us here at Good Governance Advocates.

For a national journey of 125days that has cost our economy so much due to lack of direction and indecisiveness of current government policies to yield this kind of output raises more questions than answers. In fact, the reason for staying too long is yet unknown to the public. If this is what tagged as technocrats, unquestionable characters, sanctimonious, corrupt free-entities and political angels then APC is absolutely synonymous to PDP.

The list is more of appreciating Buhari's acolytes in his political wilderness than what Nigerians expected as a custom practised by PDP. When a candidate fails to win at the poll or fund campaign is stewardship is usually reward by appointment. As asserted by Buhari during his last press briefing with BBC hausa. Just to paraphrase, Buhari said he will reward his foot-soldiers in politics. May be Buhari is one of good listeners of Late Fela's song; 'Na padi padi government dey Nigeria, yeparipa o, egba wa o". If not he would have changed the status quo.

This list comprises of same political currencies we have been spending in seats of power before. They are mainly political sons and daughters groomed by PDP.

Just relax and go through the political Archangels below;

Audu Ogbeh

Buhari’s ministerial nominee from Benue State, Audu Ogbeh was a lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria in 1972; Deputy Speaker, Benue State House of Assembly, 1979; Federal Minister of Communications in 1982 and National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2001. He was unceremoniously removed by OBJ for supporting Atiku's ambition. The late Dr. Olusola Saraki was in the Senate as Senate Leader that screened Audu Ogbeh in 1982 (33 years ago) for a ministerial appointment. Saraki’s son, Bukola will now screen him again for a ministerial appointment as President of the Senate in 2015. Truly the young shall grow.

Lt. General Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau (rtd)

Buhari’s ministerial nominee from Kano State, Lt. General Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau (rtd) was the Chief of Army Staff under the late President Umar Musa Yar’Adua and played a key role in the Turai Yar’ Adua coup d’etat that smuggled the ailing President back into the country from his treatment overseas. He was formerly purported as National Security Adviser.

Chris Ngige

In 2003, Chris Ngige emerged governor of Anambra State through electoral fraud orchestrated by OBJ and Audu Ogbeh. In August 2005, an election Tribunal led by Justice Nabaruma nullified Ngige’s 2003 victory. He appealed to the Nigerian Federal Court of Appeal, but the annulment was confirmed on 15 March 2006, in a judgment awarding victory to Peter Obi of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). Ngige’s tenure as governor of Anambra State was marred by controversies, one of the most famed of which was the Okija shrine scandal which involved an alleged oath between Ngige and his former political godfather Chris Uba in the shrine. Let us remind you of his abduction as a sitting governor.

Sulaiman Husaini Adamu

Buhari’s Jigawa State ministerial nominee, Sulaiman Husaini Adamu is a younger brother to the Acting INEC Boss, Amina Bala Zakari (nee Husaini Adamu). Zakari’s appointment by Buhari has come under fire from Nigeria’s opposition who said the appointment is her reward as a close Buhari family member and her role in compromising the March 28 presidential election in favour of Buhari.

Udoma Udo-Udoma

President Buhari’s alleged N2.1 billion Asokoro-Abuja mansion sits on number 9, Udoma Udo-Udoma Crecsenct named after Buhari’s Akwa-Ibom State ministerial nominee, Udo-Udoma. He has been rejected by APC chapter in his State for being a two term Senator on PDP platform.

Osagie Ehanire

Buhari’s Edo State ministerial nominee, Osagie Ehanire served as the Edo State Coordinator of Muhammadu Buhari 2015 Campaign Organisation.

Kemi Adeosun

Buhari’s Ogun State ministerial nominee, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun was a senior manager at the Price Waterhouse Coopers, London and member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, England and Wales. She is popularly referred to as “the Diezani of Ogun State" when serving as Finance Commissioner in the first coming of Amosun. Her emergence came as a result of political miscalculation from OBJ and TINUBU.

Rotimi Amaechi

The political lion of South-South, popularly known as the “ATM machine” of the Buhari presidential campaign, Rotimi Amaechi is Buhari’s Rivers State ministerial nominee. His tenure as Governor of Rivers state was characterized with allegations of lawlessness, government waste, corruption and incompetence. One of it, was N50billion bond he raised for his State to fund Buhari's campaign.
As an Apostle of commonsense revolution, he promised to keep stealing public fund if we refuse to stone him.

Adebayo Shittu

Buhari’s Oyo State ministerial nominee, Adebayo Shittu was a member of Buhari’s defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). The Oyo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected his nomination calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to revisit his nomination. However, his nomination was hinged on his travails with Buhari in defunct CPC.

Chief Ogbonnaya Onu

Buhari’s Abia State ministerial nominee, the 63 year old Chief Ogbonnaya Onu was former Governor of Old Abia State. Onu was National Chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) before it was absorbed into the APC in February 2013.

Babatunde Fashola, SAN

Lagos State ministerial nominee Babatunde Fashola SAN is the competence and performance poster boy of the ruling APC government. He recently made news headlines after his successor leak on how as governor, he spent over N78million of Lagos State funds in designing his personal website. He was also alleged of over bloated projects like boreholes and road.

Ahmed Isa Ibeto

Buhari’s ministerial nominee from Niger State, Ahmed Isa Ibeto was the deputy governor of the state under the PDP led government of Babangida Aliyu. He decamped to the APC when he failed to secure the PDP’s gubernatorial ticket.

Buhari’s ministerial nominee from Taraba State, Mrs. Aisha Jummai Al-Hassan joined the PDP in 2005 and later elected as Senator. He decamped in 2014 to APC where she contested as Gubernatorial candidate in April 2015. APC released fake result that she won the keenly contested election before INEC announcement and later headed to Tribunal. We are surprised that APC has come to reality that she did not win the election.

Solomon Dalong

Buhari’s Plateau State ministerial nominee Solomon Dalong joined the Prisons Service as a Prison Assistant and rose to the rank of Assistant Inspector of Prisons. Following his training as an attorney, he was moved to the legal department of prisons where he served as Legal Officer II in the prisons headquarters prior to retirement.

He was the Lead Counsel of the Legal Team of Buhari’s defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).

Alhaji Lai Mohammed

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, is Buhari’s Kwara State ministerial nominee and spokesperson of Buhari’s All Progressives Congress (APC). He is the brain behind APC’s fraudulent campaign promises including the “one meal a day” campaign, which Buhari disowned after his election. Lai is blessed with numerical dialysis.

what do you mean by archangels

Hmmmmmm

Most of the candidates will not pass. PDP will ensure that. Its either he brings neutral people or include a handful of PDP members. Case closed.

Oll dz repetitioon sef!!!!

Lai Mohammed, na him own pain me pass.
The guy invented lies.

He took us into recession(economic) in a bid to look for saints, only for the man to still bring the names of criminals as ministers-to-be, he should have mentioned them on his resumption to office. He boasted bringing technocrats, where are they now"? Quote me anywhere

Criers!
Cowards they say dies before their time, but the Wailers are going, they are about to overtake cowards in this feat.

If PMB refused to name his Ministers because he couldn't find the Saints he's looking, the same criers like you will call him a dictator running the govt without Ministers.
Your case is like when Israel(in the Bible) said to God that they want a King by fire by force, and eventually got Saul who almost put them in trouble.
Save yourself some breathe and see what these people can do and stop the unnecessary wailing.

One chance

Its all business as usual. Nothing has changed. Arch Angels indeed.
