Those names could have been submitted at Eagles Square on May 29

Or even before may 29th. Infact after GEJ called him and congratulated him, he would have sent this list to 7th senate for urgent approval....

bushdoc9919:


Considering the fact that Fayemi and Amaechi have not yet been convicted by a court of law.....I doubt they are ''criminals''.

Hope you also doubt Saraki is criminal too

bushdoc9919:


Apart from Fashola....who is the subject of ''allegations''....and who has not yet been convicted of any crime or even charged to court, I think it is too early to call the named chaps criminals....especially as all we have to go by are ''allegations''

Unless you have evidence of criminal activity....which I would expect you to print out here....with valid convictions from a valid court of law.

amechi sold all rivers state property but no account of the money. He built a multi billion unseen monorail since 7yrs now yet it is an un completed project etc so my bro what conviction are you looking for again??" Is it when they rob you your wife or girl friend that you will believe 135m for two bole holes shame to fashola et tal

[b]Amaechi, Fayemi, Fashola, Ngige, Onu [/b]etc...is this a joke?. Are the journalist being mischievous by brandishing these names?.
If these are the ministers PMB came up with after 4 months, then all hope is lost. Where is the f*ucking change.


WE HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.

Good....now get a lawyer, and get the evidence presented in court....it is your duty citizen.

Don't come to Nairaland singing tales by moonlight.

Please enough of these silly excuses.
It is beginning to sound childish.

Saraki has not been convicted of any crime, so it is a tad bit premature to ask me about whether I doubt his criminality or otherwise....especially as the matter is sub judicie.

bonechamberlain:
where is no surprise at all in this so called "angelic list" why buhari had to wait for four months to produce all these recycled politicians is worrisome.

Hmmmn! Recycled politicians! U're very right with that word.

my bro amechi refuse to appear before the commission of inquiry were he was indicted of massive corruption in Rivers state ooooo. Are you not in nigeria? Instead he will appear with his broom of SANs he started crying witchhunting from Wike is it good my brother?? If he is innocent why would he not appear and defend himself Pls note that i voted amechi second term so i only hate his criminally which is peak and in him

Even LIE MOHAMMED is on the list. Where are the technocrats ? Where are the men with proven professional capabilities ?.

I used to think that Buhari had 'balls'. This list a complete show of utter weakness. I hope Saraki will announce other names. I will still hold on for the authentic list.

So happy fashola made the list ojare...

He should be made FCT minister or Works, he'd perform well

Seunvense:
I don't know what is delaying him from releasing the names of the ministerial nominees for the remaining states,he had a lot of time to himself still couldn't come up with a full list.


I know that of Ondo state will likely be Olurotimi Akerele.



Whao!!! FTC for the first time.



#Godblessnairaland


#Godblessnigeria



Happy independence day Nigerians...we will get there.

So much in haste that you spelt Rotimi Akeredolu as Akerele. Be guided please.

This new administration of APC/Buhari in Nigeria will shock those outspoken and silent enemy of the govt in power. It is just about six months old, things are changing positively, you all wait and see after eighteen months, all the detractors will eat their words. There will be a visible positive turn around in all departments of the nation's developmental needs. We should stop running the President down, we should support him in prayers. Nigeria is not suppose to be where she is today, but however, the sun of hope is not yet set. Happy Independence celebration.

Nigerian politics is being killed by Inbreeding Depression. I wish d president could do some sort of cross breeding by bringing in fresh, young, talented technocrats with gud integrity and passion to get Nigeria out of this mess we find ourselves. We dont need politicians as ministers, we need technocrats. Majority of those on that list are d usual politicians we've all known about.

I still doubt there is going to be second or third batch
If you look at it from the left,you will realise PMB has already cut number of ministry from 36 to 21
This is just a waiting game
The remaining states are going to wait till eternity

Some will be ministers of state.

This whole ministerial merry-go-round is the final nail on the coffin of this government.
We need to go home and sleep.
We did well kicking GEJ out ,as i am a firm believer that failure should never be rewarded (and GEJ failed in summary).
Same response seems to be waiting for PMB.
What was the point of wasting four bloody months to end up appointing non-technocrats?
PMB has spent the past 16 years trying to be president. Now he is president, he seems bereft of a clear cut idea of what to do with power.
Even the fight against corruption is so hazy and unclear.
The secrecy in governance seems to be a means of covering planlessness.

Just don't what to believe anymore.

Just don't know what to believe anymore.

Amaechi won't do well to be in contempt of court....should the case be sent there.

At least, we can be sure that the Buhari government will not give ministers a pat on the back for being corrupt.
Hopefully this should minimize corruption in Nigeria post Buhari regime

We might need to seek another leader for national economic resurrection after PMB takes a bow

ABUJA—There are feelers from the Presidency that the remaining 15 names of ministerial nominees will hit the Senate early next week after what sources described as ‘laborious’ security checks and vetting of the prospective nominees.

The high-wire tension and expectations with which Nigerians awaited President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nominees have been doused with his submission of names of 21 nominees to the Senate.

As of last night, the various security agencies were said to be working frantically to beat the new deadline said to have been given to them by the President.

Vanguard gathered that the security checks on the remaining nominees are being carried out within and outside Nigeria.

Photo by Abayomi Adeshida.
Vanguard gathered, yesterday, that the Presidency insisted that more background checks be conducted on the nominees, especially against the backdrop of the need to avoid making mistakes in appointing the wrong persons into the cabinet.

It was further learned that the names of those transmitted to the Senate on Wednesday were those whose background checks had been concluded.

“It is not certain when the checks on the remaining 15 will be completed. This explains why the President, in his independence anniversary speech, did not give a time frame because it is dependent on when the security agencies, including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, will conclude their job on the nominees,” a source said last night.

The source said the 21 names already with the Senate had gone through the same process, adding that the issue had taken so much time because of the need to do a thorough job.

“If the President had his way, the process of appointing ministers would have long been concluded but the security people handling the checks pleaded for time to do a thorough job,” a reliable source told Vanguard.

Horse-trading
Apart from the checks, Vanguard investigation also revealed that the cause of the delay in submitting the 15 names is the horse-trading still going on within the All Progressives Congress, APC, over their nomination.

It was further learned that there was no consensus yet on the choice of the nominees by leaders in their states.

Next batch hits Senate next Tuesday – Garba Shehu

In his reaction last night, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the next batch would be sent to the National Assembly, Tuesday.

He said: “To be honest with you, I have been travelling in the last two days. I came in early today (yesterday). I am not privy to any list. However, every government from 1999 till date under this constitution, has not given the names of ministers from day one.

“They (ministerial nominees) have always been sent to the National Assembly in batches, this is nothing extraordinary. Where is the balance? I do not know. May be by Tuesday next week when they come back, they (National Assembly) will probably have the balance waiting for them but if it will take a longer period, the President will decide that.”

Although the Senate is yet to officially make public names of the 21 nominees forwarded to it by the President, media reports reeled out names, including Dr. Chris Ngige (Anambra), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Babatunde Fashola (Lagos), Gen. Abdurrahman Dambazau, retd, (Kano), Aisha AlHassan (Taraba), Ogbonnaya Onu (Abia), Kemi Adeosun (Ogun) and Abubakar Malami, SAN, (Kebbi).
Others are Senator Sirika Hadi (Katsina), Adebayo Shittu (Oyo), Sulaiman Adamu (Jigawa), Solomon Dalong (Plateau), Ibe Kachikwu (Delta), Osagie Ehanire (Edo, Udoma Udo-Udoma (Akwa Ibom), Ahmed Isa Ibeto (Niger), Ibrahim Jibril, Audu Ogbeh (Benue), and Amina Mohammed (Kaduna).

I doubt the names reported by the media – Babatope
However,former Minister of Transport, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, said he doubted the authenticity of the list. He said: “I am not a member of the APC. What comment do I want to make on people who are not members of my party? I do not know them, I only know them by their names. All I can say is to wish them the best of luck when they are appointed. Anyway, they have not all been appointed. Buhari told us that he would be releasing their names piece-meal, so we will wait for the rest of the names. We do not know if the list is authentic because the President of the Senate said he would disclose their names on October 6, so, let us wait and see what happens.”

Be patient with Buhari – Ogunlewe
Former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the President as far as the ministerial list is concerned.

Ogunlewe said: “It is at the discretion of the President to send the names but we must first commend him. Why can’t we wait till October 6 because all these things we are reading are speculations.

“What Saraki said is that he has the list sealed and that he would not allow anybody access the contents until Tuesday. My suggestion is: Let everybody wait because we do not know the number of names on the list. We have to be patient with our government and reasonable. It is not every time we criticise, that is my own position.”


Buhari wants the best – Fasehun
Founder of Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, said: “Probably the President does not want to over work the Senate. That is why he is taking his time in sending the names, making it to look as if he has embraced a piecemeal method. As a man with a vision of what he wants for the country, I want to believe that the President is not in a hurry to send all the list because he wants the best hands for the job.”

Also reacting, retired Police Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, urged Nigerians to support the President in his war on graft, saying “we hope and pray that the corrupt and selfish elite will repent and give Buhari maximum support to take Nigeria to the next level.”

Nothing unique – Odumakin

National Publicity Secretary of the Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin said, yesterday, that President Buhari would have submitted the names of the ministerial nominees at Eagle Square rather than to the Senate.

Reacting to the speculated names of possible ministers, Odumakin, who noted that there was nothing unique about the list, said the President did not surprise anyone.

According to him, the names are not worth waiting for a period of four months.

“There is no excitement or surprise in the list. They are mostly run-of-the-mill people that do not warrant the nation waiting four months. Those names could have been submitted at Eagles Square on May 29.”

Buhari didn’t need to wait this long —Sen. Urhoghide
Senator Matthew Urhoghide (PDP, Edo South) shared Odumakin’s views. He said it was not necessary for President Buhari to have waited this long before coming up with the list he made available.

According to Senator Urhoghide, the persons whose names were submitted have been around and known to the President, especially the nominee from Edo State, Osagie Ehanire.

Urhoghide, who noted that though the character and personality of the nominees were not in doubt, said what was paramount was performance as ministers.

Thank God those that campaign against the president are now supporting him check the bold... Our enemies will sure bow before us.

I don't think Nigerians should be excited about ministerial nominees. After all they buhari's noise makers

the constitution requires him to appoint a minister from all of the 36 states in the federation. Cutting the ministries doesnt mean there wont be senior and junior ministers(minister of state) so he would always complete the number anyhow you choose to look at it

God bless Nigeria
God bless PMB

Its a pity u have d guts 2 call dem goats. This goats re achievers no matter what. What has ur non-goat pple u knw achieved. Wailer keep wailing

Dont bring out your madness against him because of what he said. We all knows these guys and who they are from their past record. Tell me, what is that that they have achieved that is making your head swell.

Benwems:
Whats the use of wasting our precious time and deceiving us with your "so called" security check when criminals such as ameachi and fayemi till make the list. Pmb, Nigerians are too brilliant to fool twice.

When amechi was not appointed as sgf you guys celebrated and said buhari used and dumped him, northerners are deceptive bla bla bla. Now he is being nominated as minister and you guys say amechi is corrupt. What should buhari do to stop you wailers from wailing, or were you born to wail?

wiseoneking:
waiting this one dey talk? All weather. Whatever it takes as you said, even if it takes stupidity and ignorance. Watch your mouth.

You're the stark contrast of your moniker. Stay blessed.

Confused Lots, see all of them saying good things about Buhari, trying to warm their ways into his heart and be in his good books, shior, as if that will reduce their jail terms..#MUFUS# in p-square voice
