I am going to be brief and straight to the point.


Aside Buhari's nepotism and ineptitude which Bola Tinubu is also inheriting and even expanding on, the number one reason Buhari's regime failed economically and otherwise is because after Buhari won the 2015 Presidential election, he used the opportunity of appointing competent Nigerians who are proven technocrats with proven track records to be compensating old, criminal political jobbers that helped him to win the election.



In doing so, more than 70% of his cabinet members ended up becoming ex Governors who had nothing to offer aside the fact that they helped APC rig in their state for Buhari to win. You don't run a country like that and still expect progress.



No reasonable President runs his economy and cabinet with career politicians who are only in for the money they would loot to recoup their investment during the election campaigns.


If you must reward them, you can reward them with temporary contracts not permanent appointments into key positions that runs the nation, doing this will run the country down.



Imagine packing all the ministerial roles and handing it over to one man Fashola just because they helped you win without considering his capacity in the said ministries and the workload.



This was the beginning of Buhari's failure.


Let career politicians that helped you win the election remain at the background, they should be kept at the party politics and not imported into running the nation where there are competent experts who aren't career politicians.

Bola Tinubu is on the same dangerous route of trying to reward his political jobbers with key positions.


Anybody that knows Tinubu should forewarn him now to desist from that before its too late.


Tinubu should look beyond partisan politics and tribe and search for competent Nigerians in and outside Nigeria with proven track records to help rescue and deliver Nigeria out of the mess Buhari and Tinubu's APC put Nigeria into.




This is what made Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan's regime to flourish economically despite their own shortcomings.



They brought in competent technocrats who aren't career politicians.


The likes of Akinwunmi Adesina, Chukwuma Soludo, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Amina Mohammed, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Oby Ezekwesili, Aruma Oteh, etc.

Imagine Tinubu appointing these known terrorists, religious fanatics, irredeemable rascals, tribal bigots and kleptomaniacs like;


El Rufai
Umar Ganduje
Bayo Onanuga
Bagudu
Festus Keyamo
Femi Fani Kayode
Nuhu Ribadu
etc


into key positions, what can they offer Nigeria? These men ought to be retired to oblivion where they belong to. Bring in young, vibrant, competent and incorruptible young chaps from in and outside Nigeria and let these criminal career politicians go and enjoy their loots

He has said he aims to run a government of national competence. Like that you used the word, "may". That's conditional. So, we'll let time be the judge of your assumptions. One thing I do know is BAT would do better than his predecessors, sentiments aside.

Let's wait and see

His words doesn't align with his actions so far.



Take a look at the people he has been appointing so far, and those speaking for him, do you see light in them?



What can FFK, Bayo Onanuga, Keyamo offer than to complicate Tinubu's issues with more dangerous lies and bigotry that will earn Tinubu more political enemies and critics?



What can a midget terrorist like El Rufai offer Nigeria aside sponsoring more terrorists to deal with his political enemies and Christian minorities in Kaduna?



Who is Bagudu?


Tinubu is already on the runway of failure if he doesn't turn back now!

okay na but my people said from the smell of soup you can predict the taste

Such appointments like Buhari did is an example of how to kill an economy of a country. And he pretty much accomplished it in Nigeria.

That's why Obasanjo's economic policies were felt positively by everyone in Nigeria. He went out to get professionals like Soludo, Okonji-Iweala, etc into his cabinet. There was economic stability in Nigeria then; food and shelter were affordable.

@OP.

Stop the hearsay and gossip. It is unmanly and best left to teenage girls.

Wait for the composition of Tinubu's ministerial team, because that is the koko of the matter, before you start bitching.

Forecasting Tinubu's 'failures, when nothing is visible yet, bears you out as an irredeemable hater.

If progressive, then wait to see his comprehensive team and pass judgement then.

Pearlokeys:

Absolutely. Peripheral, compensatory or politically expedient appointments, which no President can escape in our political system, are necessary and only those naive or unhelpfully idealists would argue otherwise.

I am more interested in those who will be doing the 'Donkey' work. Who will be health minister? Transport infrastructure is critical. Who can take us into the modern age to be a match for South Africa?

Who will head the power sector? Who will orchestrate Nigeria's attempted march into an age of gaining real value for her mineral assets etc, etc. Will can get the best out of our youths and, for example, create a new vocational skill system for those who cannot go to university rather than leave them to be condemned waste products and menace to society on our streets?

Who will be CBN governor to anchor Tinubu's dream.of a credit system and powerful naira capable of drastically reducing corruption and empowering our international trading sons and daughters?

Those are what shoukd matters to progressive minds. Tinubu can send Bagudu etal to China or America. Not my bizo. I want to see those who will be doing transformational work in very critical sectors.

Obasanjo achieved nothing. If he did we would surely feel the impact with solutions provided to address critical and perennial problems.

You all love praising OBJ perhaps because he appointed some.Igbos but you forget, after 8 years of OBJ, our perennial power problems was even worse!!!

Health sector still moribund. Transport we ain't still close to South Africa or the North African nations.

Security still in the dark ages. Manufacturing sector revival zilch. Naira still a worthless currency because OBJ and his team never diversified out economy away from dependence on oil to create a socio-economic powerhouse firing on all cylinders.

I could go on all day because it seems most Nigerian don't understand what leaders should do I.e deliver solutions for the most severe and destructive problems. Something OBJ distinctly failed at and I no Tinubi never will.

Tinubu , a technocratic and thoroughly modern leader himself, will do a thousand times better than the insince OBJ who is a poster child of the moribund system we are trying to toss out so that we gain a meritocratic and free market decentralised democracy that OBJ never allowed.

So according to you, Buhari ruin the economy by appointing career politicians, So, Kemi Adeosun and Godwin Emefiele, the two people that run the economy were career politicians?

How many ex Governors served under Yaradua or Goodluck as Minister, and how many served under Buhari?


Kemi didn't have any proven track record before she was handed a portfolio bigger than her capacity.



Emefiele was never an exceptional entrepreneur to qualify as boss of Nigeria's Apex bank.


Can you compare Kemi with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala or Oby Ezekwesili or Aruma Oteh or Amina Mohammed or Akinwunmi Adesina and co? Buhari messed his regime up by himself and Tinubu is on the same lane as we speak, wait and see

Smell and taste of soup can both be subjective and relative.

He justs dislikes Tinubu and wants to hide behind semantics to predict BAT will fail. Bottom line is that any progressive-minded person will wait to see those in charge of critical sectors that can truly transform Nigeria.

Tinubu believes every State and region must first exhaustively utilise the god-given resources available to them to gain socio-economic success rather than the idiocy of all leaders running to Abuja with begging bowl.

This is what he did exemplarily with Lagos as someone who walks the walk and not just espouses rhetoric alone like 99.9% of Nigerian leaders.

We can all remember Tinubu, as Governor, never begged OBJ for anything. He could not anyway because he understand his own "last man standing" reality to know whatever success he will make has to come out of Lagos and not through the very hostile and anti-Tinubu FG of Obasanjo back then.

This is why so many are excited about the prospect of his Presidency. OP's negativity simply stems from innate bias nothing or no one can help him with.

You are already wailing even when the man is yet to make a single appointment ? Are you one of his minders or how did you get to know who and who he will appoint into his government ? The same Obasanjo you're hailing appointed 80% core politicians into his cabinet with only few technocrats

Precisely. When someone ignores proven and factual history to be leading with their own completely unsubstantiated opinion then you know they have preconceived bias or agenda.

Spot on, bro.

My only reservation about the feasibility of the credit system is our attitude to credit (in the business sense) as a people. We're in a country where some can't even afford to pay back loans obtained from loan apps and other credit-offering facilities, refund airtime borrowed from mobile network providers, etc, all in a bid to 'cheat' or 'beat' the system.

I'm sure he'd have had that aspect figured out.

I am always accused of being arrogant when I tell Nigerians they do not know what leadership is and what it is meant to achieve.

OBJ was a huge failure in my opinion. In any nation, reformational and visionary leaders tackle the perennial and very destructive problems because they know doing so will automatically make everything else work like clockwork.

How long are we going to shout about what constant power can do to make Nigeria truly great? We see SME's , the lifeblood of most major economies in the world, relocating out of Nigeria daily yet nothing is done to try and address the power conundrum once and for all so that our SME sector can grow and thrive to the extent, as obtains elsewhere, it becomes the major employer of labour for our teeming population of jobless and restive youths.


How much do you need to drum it into the ears of Nigeria that countries that do not strongly export their own manufactured goods and services have no right to expect a strong currency or decent foreign exchange stock for personal and national use?

I could go on all day yet ask what ObJ did and they will mention GSM.

I am excited at the thought of Tinubu's presidency because I saw what he did, in opposition, regarding the most major problems of Lagos. His method bore fruit to the extent Lagos quickly went on to become the 5th biggest economy in Africa !!!

That is real and transformational leadership not crappy crumbs thrown at a people who are at the very bottom in the world and hence have no idea of what obtains elsewhere. Even a trip to Morocco, South Africa etal, our fellow African nations, will show how much we are still in the dark ages .

OBJ did nothing to touch on even one of our major problems that would have brought a bit of light into the darkness yet some will be waxing lyrical about him. Tragic TBH.

Tinubu wont fail. You are just an unobjective, bigoted and unprogressive hater. Leaders can only be judged on their history.

Tinubu made Lagos the 5th biggest economy in Africa by tackling gargantuan problems. He did not engage in 'window dressing' insincere leadership like Peter Obi etal.

What you fail to understand that it is not Lagos alone that should be in the top ten economies in Africa. Some Nigeria States have the potentials to be there if they had the right leadership.

Everything, inspected dispassionately and without burden of bias and preconceived notion, indicates Tinubu will succeed and only folks like you are saying otherwise.

Don't think we don't know why.

You mentioned a host of others, yet failed to mention sound people like Wale Edun, Yemi Cardoso etc.

These are top people that'll ensure the progress of BAT administration.
