Good evening all, I was reading an article authored by Buhari that he wrote on Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/nigeria-committed-to-good-governance-and-fighting-terror/2015/07/20/8c1acd00-2e21-11e5-8353-1215475949f4_story.html. In the said article he attempted to justify delay in his appointment of Cabinet by alleging that President Obama also had some delay in his first term. Please read this excerpt..

"When cabinet ministers are appointed in September, it will be some months after I took the oath of office. It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim." --- (Pres. Muhammadu Buhari)

I paused to ask myself whether the Obama that Muhammadu Buhari was referring to is the incmbent President of The United States or another Obama.

Obama Named His Cabinet Before Taking Office:
Obama was elected President on November 4, 2008. As President-elect Obama immediately started the nomination of his Cabinet. By December 17, 2008, Barack Obama had already nominated all his Cabinet Secretaries. Obama was sworn-in on January 20, 2009. www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Barack_Obama/Appointments_and_nominations_as_President

The only late cabinet nomination of Obama was Judd Gregg- the nominee for Commerce Secretary. His nomination came on Feb 3, 2009. That is 13 days after Obama was sworn in. The delay was because the FIRST nominee for the position Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination on January 6, 2009 due to some allegation against him as New Mexico state Governor (He was nominated on the 4th of Dec 2008. See his own word

"I have concluded that the ongoing investigation also would have forced an untenable delay in the confirmation process,"
"Given the gravity of the economic situation the nation is facing, I could not in good conscience ask the president- elect and his administration to delay for one day the important work that needs to be done."

So which Obama was Buhari referring to?

Buhari The Record Breaker:
Already Buhari has made a record as the first elected President of Nigeria to stay in office for 53 days without having Secretary to the Government of the Federation. ExPresidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr Jonathan named Ufot Ekaete and Ayim Pius Ayim as SGF same day of their inauguration in 1999 and 2011 respectively. Late Yar'adua named Babagana Kingibe as SGF 24hrs after his inauguration in 2007. Buhari however is yet to. This shows that Buhari is not serious with the business of governance.

Buhari will break another record should he fail to nominate Ministers by the end of this month. He will break the record of Musa Yar'adua as the longest streak without naming a cabinet. Yar'adua named his cabinet on the 28th of July 2007. Buhari's delay till September will mean beating Yar'adua's record by more than a month (depending on the date he nominates his cabinet). Buhari will also become the only elected African and Global leader to stay in office for FOUR months without a cabinet.

These records are not the kind of record that any serious country wish for. I don't think Nigeria's case is different. Finally, Muhammadu Buhari should stop trying to act smart by playing on Nigeria's intelligence. His failure to name a cabinet shows that he isn't prepared for leadership.


May God Bless Us All

I guess PMB never thought he would win the election

Let's give him more time to savor the victory and ,in fullness of time' get his cabinet in place

I love Buhari

"If you want to stab at back, be smart enough to cover your knife"~alex mahon(prison break season 3). I wonder how buhari became General most times

G

Very funny thread

Always complaining, looking for faults and never providing any useful or intelligent solution

Very repetitive and boring criticisms.

Buhari is not obligated to appoint Ministers according to your time table.

Wailing Wailers indeed

This guy should go and sit down already. He's becoming boring! Must he talk on every matter concerning Buhari? Is he the only opposition?Ahrrrg!

.So what should we do
Slaughter Buhari or what ??
Guy no let me insult you this eveningooo

DuIIardinho again...why always disgracing Nigerians?

Barcanista sniffs Buhari's pants for a living.

I've never seen a human being so bitter, so egotistical and conceited.

Abeg APC wetin you promise this your former political ward wey you no fulfil? I believe there's more to this guy's bitterness ooo.

This is one determined hater, and I will hold APC responsible if he self destructs in the process.

Or is this also a determined plot to prove loyalty after being noticed by the opposition, in the hopes of being offered a position? Media aide to a local government chairman?

Oya taniods protection seeker don gather garri, food is ready i repeat food is ready. Make unah come chop, before hunger of 4 days kill unah.



@ topic the garbage u wrote ignores the fact that Buhari is putting up a control system that would prevent looting that Jonathan eagerly supported.

Can you please explain how he has disgrace Nigeria ??

kk

To be fair to Barcanista, Buhari fanboys and propagandists make it easy for him. When I saw that bit about Obama's cabinet, I couldn't help but chuckle with derision. US presidents usually make their key cabinet appointments within days of the inauguration. Indeed, that was what Buhari via Dr Fayemi promised at one point:

Nigeria’s incoming President, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), yesterday disclosed that his cabinet would be announced very quickly within one week of inauguration; and that “Anyone with a whiff of corruption or any kind of taint will not be in the cabinet. Our manifesto will reflect zero tolerance for corruption”.

Dogoyaro also lied when he said appointment of security chiefs deviated from past norm of appointing based on closeness to power...

Now, Daura our DSS chief participated ACTIVELY in election campaigns for APC having retired from service...Unfortunately, buhari recalled him back to head our foremost intelligence agency...

With this appointment; what happens to moral of workers in active service who are due for such positions?...What happens to such agency remaining non-partisan?... What happens to professionalism?...Isn't this appointment the real definition of nepotism

Why would buhari and his handlers not conduct an informed research before disgracing themselves before the world...And to think same people that picked on Jonathan if he ever slips in his speech are same people hypocritically wishing that we all go blind and deaf to buhari's unending gaffes...I pray he doesn't freestyle there in his speech because that's when the mother of blunder will come

They failed to do little research on their Amelika speech

Its not about breaking records in the speed of appointment, but setting records in dislodging impunity and the culture of corruption, restoring professionalism in service, and promoting the ethics of good governance which include transparency and accountabilty.

What are the achievements of those who raced to appoint a cabinet? There is no point in building structures on shaky foundations.

President Buhari is not looking for your early applause.

Nice observation Barca, but in my opinion I think its better PMB takes his time so he can come up with the best people needed for the much anticipated change, than to rush and bring in people of questionable character(which I know people like you will question PMB intention)......so don't you feel its good to give the current government some benefits of doubt than always making issue with anything PMB?

Minion don't worry I have no job for you, but you have been noticed and I know you are a loyal servant.

The difference is I comment on posts by different OPs, while your current master only lives his life daily thinking of what to write on Buhari.

Buhari and APC really hurt the guy's ego for daring to win an election he had wrongly placed bets on very late in the game. It was a great folly on his part and he is yet to forgive himself for the late mistake.

Even PDP inclined posters must have been wondering by now if Barcanista loves PDP more than they who were never unwavering.

Whether he likes it or not, Buhari doesn't care for his opinion. He will appoint HIS ministers whenever he has found suitable people for his suitable framework.

However, I will implore Buhari to hasten up so that Barcanista can move on to the next topic.

You have now sunk so low to be nit picking the president's speech,his body carriage,when he coughs etc.Am I surprised?Absolutely not.

You were dissapointed that the DSS went with a legal warrant to Dasuki's house.

Dissapointed that apart from a few no principle no shame no intergrity like your useless self,every one seems to be watching the Dasuki's intrigued drama with fingers crossed.

Dissapointed that he replaced the srevice chiefs.

Dissapointed that so far Buhari hasn't given you the chance to running your useless mouth as always,nit picking his every action.

Even the PDP you claim"to belong"hasn't sunk this low.

As long as I'm still active on this board,you will always remain a sore loser and a shameless re tard.
