How Long Will It Take The Newly Re-Elected President
Muhammadu Buhari To Announce His Cabinet?
When Mr. Buhari was elected president in 2015, it took
him six months to announce his choice of members of his
cabinet. That remains the record to be exceeded. We are
now in the second month since PMB was inaugurated as
the president of Nigeria and nobody has a clue on who
will help PMB manage Nigerian affairs. In 2015 some
people speculated that after trying and failing in three
attempts that Mr. Buhari did not expect to win and so was
not prepared to immediately announce his choice of
members of his cabinet. That was 2015 now is 2019.
Do we still have that excuse?
When PMB’s appointments was finally made in 2015, the
only surprise was how much he relied on his friends from
primary school and how little faith he had on other
Nigerians. This time around he has had four years to study
Nigerians from all the four winds and has had a chance to
work with them. So what is the problem?
I speculate that the problem now is similar to that of 2015.
PMB has been elected each time by a whopping support
from North and West of Nigeria and complete rejection by
the East and SS. His delay in announcing his cabinet can
be traced to this challenge: how much punishment can he
or should he met out to the “rejectionists” and much will
he/could he reward his true and loyal supporters? It is not
an easy call to make.
The other challenge is what direction he should go in his
second term: continue with corruption fight; continue with
strengthening the military; continue with fighting Boko
Haram; all these fights had not yielded any good results.
Or should he change course and if so in which direction?
This too is not an easy call to make.
The fact that he is having this trouble demonstrates lack
of preparation to govern. An incumbent president has had
enough time to see what he would do with extra time.
Where has he had successes and ought to continue and
which new areas to pay his attention anew. Who are the
best people he has encountered and who will help him? If
PMB has been paying attention these will be easy
questions to answer. Can we assume that he has not been
paying attention to his ways of governing or his personnel?
Of course another probable explanation of his inability to
hit the ground running could be that PMB is sicker that he
lets out. Sick old men have a tougher time focusing, more
difficulty remembering things, like faces and names, and
are usually less trusting. Could this be PMB’s problems?
Does PMB’s APC Party which is now very fractious have
some things to do with his delayed appointments? There
are the Oshimhole’s, the Tinubu’s and the restive
governors and ex-governors who want in, could it be that
they are lobbying so hard? But a focused leader should
have expected this all along and made provisions on how
to deal with these kinds of pressure.
Or is PMB just a slow thinker and a slower actor?
The senate is fully constituted and in session. And ready
to confirm or reject PMB’s appointments. The senate is
constituted to PMB’s liking with little chance of rejecting
any appointments. The only thing missing is the list of
PMB’s appointments. We hope that the six months record
of 2015 is broken this second time around.
Oh! just one other possible explanation. Could it be that
PMB is afraid that the election tribunal might find in favor
of Mr. Atiku Mohammed who is challenging Buhari’s
election and so is waiting for the tribunal to render its
decision?
Well it could be.

This man most always look for one or more excuses for his ineptitude. Doomest president ever

I didn't believe pnb can say that, he dragged obasonjo, yaradua and gej .

Were you dragged to court during your first tenure? Nope. Did you achieve any sustainable thing other than giving Miyetti Allah and Herdsmen the leeway to spill trash and massacre sane Nigerians.

Nigerians, brass up for yet another blame gaming leadership from the most incompetent President we've ever had. But this time, it's not Jona but Atiku.

failure will always find excuse justify his action may God curse those that voted for bullhari

Athifku should allow our president to concentrate.

If atiku must be a president, the coast is clear for him to take over the erosion ravaged villages and give them their heaven on earth.
