As President Muhammadu Buhari's administration begins to take shape, the powerful men listed below are those who will most likely determine the fate of his government. They have the president's ears on all matters and are the most influential people behind the president.

Yemi Osinbajo:

Professor Osinbajo is the 2nd citizen of Nigeria and is predictably going to run the economy. And based on Buhari's Anticidents, a lot of power and duties will be delegated to him. Also when the president is away from country he substitutes him.

Major-General Tukur Buratai:

With Security being Buhari's number one priority, this Army chief is highly influential and has unhindered access to the president's innermost circle. He is expected to help the president stop the insurgency in the North East - this will bring the most glory to Buhari's administration. In fact, if Buhari is thinking of contesting a second term, his fate is in the hand of this army general.

Rotimi Amaechi:

This Ex-Rivers state governor's influence in this administration was directly felt during the ministerial screening exercise. Despite being indicted for corruption in a probe of his administration by his state government, he still scaled through to become a minister in a government whose mantra is "War Against Corruption".

Femi Adesina:

This man is Buhari's mouth-piece and image maker. That means he serves in the president's innermost circle and will be the one to handle all PR issues as well as take all the heat and bashing directly from Journalists.

Nasir El-Rufai:

Though not directly in the president's cabinet, the Kaduna state governor has the president's ears in all important political matters. It is even rumoured that he was the one that vetted the ministerial list before it was sent to the senate.

Lai Mohammed:

Likely to serve as Buhari's Propaganda machine. This All Progressives Congress publicity secretary did a marvelous image laundering job for the party when it was in the opposition. Buhari will depend on him to replicate the same for his administration. Especially to market his policies to Nigerians effectively

Abba Kyari:

This is the man you must see before seeing the President. He is Chief of Staff and the No.1 Citizen's gatekeeper. This makes him very powerful as he determines what reaches Buhari's ears and when.

TRUE OR FALSE WHATS YOUR OPINION

False. The most powerful person in government is always the chief of Staff to the president

On a contrary note, I don't know what Femi Adesina and Lai Mohammed can influence in this Buhari's administration as it is certain that the heat on their master is becoming hotter and they seem to be clueless on how to turn the misgivings of the populace against this administration to their master's favour..........in mine opinion, I think Atiku and the DG of DSS wield more power and influence than these two!

OP, so you no include Fashola?
