Senator Dino Melaye has noted that there are so many square pegs in round holes in the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Melaye said Buhari’s selections were synonymous to someone wearing oversized shoes, adding that there were lots of nepotism in the President’s appointments.
In an interview with Vanguard, Melaye, a chieftain of the ruling party, said, “Let me tell you, in this government, we have square pegs in round holes.

“You cannot give carpentry work to a tailor and you expect him to perform. We need to rejig the economy managers of this nation because you cannot give what you don’t have.

“Cabinet reshuffle has to do with the ministers. We have strategic positions in this country that is manned by wrong people; a coach is as good as members of his team.

“The President cannot be minister of petroleum, Minister of Internal Affairs but if he has good aides, the economy will move because these people will be working within their terrain.

“If a tailoring work is given to a carpenter, the output will be a beautiful nonsense.
“The president must rejig his appointments.
The president should forget about politics and bring out people with vigour, better hands that will get the job done. Such people should be involved in the process irrespective of the party they belong or their tribes.


“The SGF misbehaved because he has never worked in any public service in his life before becoming the SGF.

“The SGF of a country is the manager of the entire process of Governance. A man that is not imbibed and indoctrinated in the act of civil administration or the rudiments of public administration, definitely he will misbehave.

“His appointment is synonymous to someone wearing an oversized shoe and this is applicable to other appointments in this government, there are a lot of nepotism in appointment in this government.

“Like I told you earlier, it’s not all about party. Even the president is not an APC president but the president of the federal republic of Nigeria including the witches and wizards of this country. He is the president of everybody. Development process is national and no one should be partisan about it.

“If you find a good man in PDP or APGA that can do the job perfectly, appoint him or her in the interest of National development than to bring an APC man that has no idea of what to do.

“Today in this country there is an organization headed in this country by a lawyer, what do we expect from such appointment? We have ministers that have no cognate experience at all on where to serve.”

madridguy:

DieBuhari:

Space booker, one of those spoiling Nigeria

I couldn't agree more. Their should be an overhaul of the cabinet already.

TundeHashim:
Lol!!!!! See who is talking fa. Dino is a triangular peg in an octagonal hole. He's everything the Nigerian Senate doesn't want, an epitome of political rascality. Taking intellectual debate at the Senate to the dungeons while splashing the proceeds of his ill-gotten wealth in us.

But make I no lie, he's right to an extent. What the fvck is fayemo doing at the ministry of mines and solid minerals? He never studied anything in school that remotely looks like engineering. Worst still, he's got no good record of improving solid minerals in Ekiti. So what the heck is he doing in that ministry? He's certainly a straight line in a rectangular hole.

See the minister of communications for crying out loud. He's obviously one of those that is making food expensive in this country. Someone who ought to be at the farm cultivating beans and pepper is now lording over the ministry of communications. I surely haven't forgiven him for "attempting" to increase tariff plans.

See the minister of mis-information. A person who studied a profession reputed for lying is the one in charge of information. How do we expect to get the truth?

And now the minister of sports....I think y'all know the rest. To be fair to him, he got some competent people in his team but political calculation has gotten the better hold of him in appointing others who are just failure personified!
