Goodluck Jonathan Cabinet Ministers 2011 by OredoPikin(op): 10:24pm On Aug 30, 2025
In July 2011, after the start of his term, Jonathan appointed a new cabinet.
Attached below is the list of ministers, their region, their states, portfolio and Grades
Grade A (ministers)
Grade B (ministers of state).

In the South South
He appointed 5 ministers
4 grade A
1 grade B

In the South East
He appointed 6 ministers
5 grade A
1 grade B

In the South West
He appointed 7 ministers
5 grade A
2 grade B

In the North East
He appointed 4 ministers
3 grade A
1 grade B

In the North Central
He appointed 6 ministers
4 grade A
2 grade B

In the North West
He appointed 7 ministers
5 grade A
2 grade B

Looking at the list, it is very unfair for the South West to continue lieing that their region was sidelined during the time of GEJ.
The South West Region actually had more ministers (7) than the other 2 regions from the south. They had equal 5 grade A ministers like South East and North West.
Yet they come online and lie, running propagandas that the reason they didn't vote GEJ in 2015 was because they were sidelined. Which was a very clear and obvious lies.


Every lies and propaganda always has an expiry date and this particular lie has expired today

So it's only minister positions the presidency can appoint people? How about head of sectors and institutions

You guys should stop struggling with your arguments as there are no logic with them

The way Jonathan selected his ministers shows how naive and clueless he was. Those who advised him did him terrible things. No wonder he said he didn’t had any real friends - he said it himself!

He was suppose to make sure at least, 1 powerful ministry goes to all Geo, like Tinubu ensured!

Look at Tinubu: He ensured at least 1 strong ministry goes to every GEO. That’s how to do things. But instead, jona cornered all the strong ministry into SS & SE… You con dey share crumbs give the rest GEO..

The two DGs of NIA were Yoruba. GEJ even sidelined a more qualified Igboman to sppoint the second Yoruba DG..
No Igboman was appointed as the head of any Intelligence agency during GEJ's time, yet you don't see Igbos complaining.

A Yoruba man was the Chief of Air staff also.

GEJ also worked for a Yoruba person to be the speaker of the HOR, but Yorubas led by tinubu undermined the plan, and opted to join Fulanis in selecting Tambuwal.

The SE and SS reps supported the SW speaker aspirants, but the SW reps ganged up with the NW to choose Tambuwal

So how did GEJ win in SW in 2015 with 1.5m margin votes?

Explain to us logically

Who's sponsoring you? Abi you're just bitter because a Yoruba Muslim is the president of Nigeria?
Re: Goodluck Jonathan Cabinet Ministers 2011 by MartinCorridon: 9:55am On Aug 31, 2025
United Kingdom colonized India, Nigeria and many others....

What these countries do to them?

Same way SW are your Bosses. Whether you respect them or not, wouldn't change your status as their subordinates grin
Re: Goodluck Jonathan Cabinet Ministers 2011 by Walai(m): 11:26am On Aug 31, 2025
They gave you Foreign Affairs, Agriculture and Defence but you are not contented
Are you aware the foreign affairs Minister is a Super Minister who coordinates all Nigeria's foreign interest?

List the sectors you are talking about

You remembered the speaker zoned to the south west that ur god tinubu fought and ensured tambuwal won? grin I guess Jonathan was the one that ensured North west had Vice president and speaker at the same time isn't it Jonathan ensured the ekiti woman lost courtesy of tinubu grin? Kids coming on Social media and talking what they don't know

Which heads of government did Jonathan put that didn't involve south West? I have debunked the national Assembly I know you will go there. Now that you know that your god ensured the south west didn't have principal member in the national Assembly when it was zoned the speaker what else can you come up with it
Re: Goodluck Jonathan Cabinet Ministers 2011 by DMerciful(m): 2:03pm On Aug 31, 2025
But that same thing you accused GEJ off, not that GEJ was appointing Ijaws majorly, is what Tinubu is doing even worse by appointing majorly Yorubas and you applaud him.

You guys are truly dishonest
