Of PMB Misplaced Cabinet Reshuffle

Nigerians before today were still highly expectant that PMB will take decisive actions in the life span of his remaining days as president of Nigeria - one of the actions expected of him is to rejig his cabinet by appointing credible professionals to sensitive key positions that will help take the country completely out of recession and put her in an economically advantageous place to dictate and lead Africa from her development deficits.

However, from the statement that emanated from the President, we are so far away from having quality appointees and good governance. Apart from the fact that PMB have continued to while-away the precious time of Nigerians who before now looked up to him for the desired change in their socio-economy and political life, he has once again demonstrated that he is on a ceremonial journey to Aso Rock without any intention of creating impact.

This is reflective of his desire to appoint supporters from his political party, APC, other than professionals who are badly needed to strategically guide the country's economy and bear ideas that will help them fulfill their bogus party manifestoes.

Any serious government which has seen that circumstances changed the position they held before acquiring power, should be sensible enough to search for competent professionals outside the domain of politics just like former President Olusegun obasanjo did, when he brought Dr. Okonjo Iweaka from the World Bank after the exit of the military who had battered Nigeria economy, says Aniedi Osom, a socio-political commentator.

Nothing less is expected from Mr. President than placing round pegs in round holes. The intentions of Mr. President to bring in members of his political party so as to titillate them is not only an exhibition of crass incompetence but a total showcase of insensitivity on his part to the plight of Nigerians.

It is necessary to suggest or argue who or where these APC supporters would be emerging from judging by the fact that majority of these so called supporters are former members of the PDP who had defected to the ruling party after and before the 2015 presidential elections.

The inclusion of politicians into the cabinet because according to PMB, APC supporters are eager for the appointments is a big shame to Mr. Incorruptible and a slap on the faces of Nigerians!

If Mr. President succeeds in bringing party supporters that are "well known" to us at this instance because he now have "resources to cater" for them, his actions would have lent credence to the biblical question which is noted in John 1:46 that, "Nazereth: can anything good come from there?" Mr. President's action have raised critical questions on his intentions for Nigeria albeit one may be forced to ask also "APC: can anything good ever come out from the party?

Surely, time will tell.

Well said.
Very directionless government. They say something and turn around.
All for 2019.
