Obiageli Ezekwesili


President Muhammadu Buhari has finally unveiled his ministerial nominees after making Nigerians wait and anticipate for four months.



The list includes prominent persons like former Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola [/] and his counterpart from Ekiti, [b] Kayode Fayemi.


However, some notable personalities were surprisingly omitted from Buhari’s cabinet. 5 of them are:


1. Oby Ezekwesili: The former Minister of Education was favoured by many to be part of Buhari’s cabinet due to her strength, integrity and persistence in championing the cause of the abducted Chibok girls.


2. Donald Duke: The former Cross River State governor is credited with giving tourism a face in Nigeria and his visit to Buhari after the president’s victory in the 2015 elections gave rise to rumours that he would be chosen as a minister.



3. Abike Dabiri: The former legislator is a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Buhari’s party. Her track record and decision not to seek re-election in the House of Representatives led many to believe that she would soon have bigger fish to fry.



4. Femi Falana: Weeks before the nominees were eventually unveiled, it was widely reported that the foremost human rights lawyer would be chosen to fill the spot of Attorney General of the Federation. His name was however not present on the list.



5. Nuhu Ribadu: Despite being a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is a staunch anti- corruption campaigner and many expected that Buhari would employ his services in a bid to boost the current war against corruption

Ribadu shocked

He stained his clean record when he decided to betray his party cos of power, I would be surprised if he is on the list

Same for Ezekwesili, her inclusion will send a bad msg. Buhari is wise to have left her out

In short, OP I don't agree with you.

Nuhu Ribadu ke?
Re: Buhari Ministerial List: 5 Notable Persons Whose Names Aresurprisingly Missing by Mackson01: 10:03pm On Oct 15, 2015
How will you expect nuhu ribadu. He is not serious. He decamped to the wrong party inspire if the principle he is respected for. He is a failure.

If @Obi Ezekwesili was there, the same you people will be shouting she has been compensated for using BBOG to oust GEJ govt.

For everyone of these that should feature on that list, wailers already have a negative report about them.
Not everyone will be a Minister or serve in this govt. We already have good hands.

I am glad Falana did not make.
Perhaps he needs to be more of an activist and stay unbiased
He has being seen in d past taking d side of a particular party.
He needs a clear head like Gani Fawehinmi.
I wish him luck in his future endeavour.
But Abike Dabiri would have made a good minister. too bad his loss.
