Ministerial nomination and appointments in recent times is a rewards package for party faithfuls and loyalist who helped and contributed to the party. This system as fair as it may sound "party-wise" relegates the importance of merit and competence as far as development is concerned.

I have tried to analyse the contributions of two key players of the APC administration, in the person of Prof Sagay and Festus Keyamo. I am surprise that Festus Keyamo was nominated for ministerial appointment while the Prof was not. I would have thought Prof Sagay would have been considered considering his experience ahead of Festus Keyamo who just became SAN barely a year or two ago. Does anybody share the same view with me?
