My position has always been to support or oppose issues based on their merit/demerits.

PassingShot:

So PS will abandon their official duties different from that of ministers; or they will combine the two?

PassingShot:

Morning. He played it first and I am right to play it too based on the early days signs.

Speaking of early days signs, was there this level of gnashing of teeth from both sides of the divide during the "clueless" one's era?

vedaxcool:
Patience is a virtue, if u can survive 6 years of cluelessness u definately can survive 2 months of planning. I know something great will come out of this.

AZeD1:

Combine the two. There are lots of redundant staffs in all ministries, how about we make them earn their pay without increasing the wage bill?

My patience is wearing very thin!

Common, we're talking about COS, SGF, Advisers and a few ministers whose ministries will not be merged such as Finance, Works, etc.

lordizak:

trust me, PMB will come good. the forces against him are too much. [size=48pt]Igbo[/size] chanting betrayal and blackmailing him for many things, the militants are now angry for cutting them allowances and pipelines monitoring jobs, the party crisis and many other things we don't know of. My people say if day wan break, night go come first. he will do just great. Never regret voting for change.

AZeD1:

1) What is the job of a Chief of Staff and SGF?
2) Are you worried that he doesn't have advisers or you don't know the name of his advisers?
3) What is it that a minister can do that a permanent secretary or director in the ministry can't do?

Wailing Wailer, all the things you listed above were the legacies Jonathan left behind.

I share your disappointment as to the delay in naming his cabinet members. However, I'm not so surprised. In 1983/1984, he named his cabinet after about 6 months and yet he made an impact in his 20 months administration. Change will occur but he should step on the gas pedal. We are losing patience

omenka:
I refuse to criticise the President based on his non-selection of cabinet. I'd rather criticise him based on the performance of same after it must have been constituted.

Biafranqueeen:



Thank you very much. You are a smart man.

What did Pius Anyim contribute positively to this nation as SGF? Can anyone remember the chief of staff to GEJ?

Typical Nigerian attitude . Impatience. They would have preferred that he name his cabinet and the looting continues .

Buhari was elected as president and not magician.

Firefire:


Please allow me to tag you 'Enemy of Progress'.

- USD is now 230 to a Naira

- Fuel subsidy still persist

- Fuel scarcity refuse to leave

- Food stuff prices have skyrocketed

- Nigerians are suffering

We all expected a drastic CHANGE and application of changing process from D 1, what we have is "SNAIL SPEED" and you are talking of relaxation

Jonathan your No. 1 enemy is gone, please start to be objective from today.

Thank you.

Peace!

ApexTitan:


Buhari made an impact? Really? You mean he denied the civilian populace many of its liberties, jailed and killed several citizens with his draconian decrees all at the same time doing severe damage to the nation's economy with his questionable policies?

The campaigns are over, stop trying to re paint Buhari's dictatorship of '84 as a wonderful and prosperous time.

@Topic

I never had any confidence in Buhari's ability to lead this nation to greatness and while I tried to hold onto the hope that things might get better the inaction of the past month has only served to invigorate my fears: Nigeria is under the rule of yet another ineffective and bad government.

That he is better than GEJ is not in doubt. However, we need him to do better.

Not naming key personnel has negative impact on perception and on investors' confidence. It's already affecting the stock markets.

Don't you agree that not naming key appointees impacts negatively on governance and investors' confidence?

NgeneUkwenu:
The cabinet is in the offing! Relax!

Firefire:


I still believe his redeemer lives...

If not for the "unchangeable changer", the soul of that fellow is lost in hatred.

PassingShot:

What patience and planning is required in naming COS, SGF and some important advisers? These are people he should have known before he was sworn in.

PassingShot:

The expectations are not same. The stakes and expectations are higher now based on what we have passed through at GEJ's hands. Simple.

Are you inadvertently saying that Nigerians would have tolerated the same issue you're beguiled about had expectations not been high?

Secondly, that phrase "what we have passed through at GEJ's hands" is a largely subjective one, or don't you think?

The difference between those who hold that assertion and those who don't is a mere 3+ million ("mere" when looked at in comparison to the population that actually voted ).

GEJ had his flaws and shortcomings, no doubt.
But I still think of him as the best thing that's happened to our democracy and by extension, our country.
