Fashola Flops? Buhari Sets To Take Over Ministry Of Power! by Fmdipo(op): 11:26am On Mar 06, 2016
Senator Dino Melaye has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to head one more ministry as the substantive minister. Melaye suggested the president to take over the Ministry of Power and immediately ensure the country’s power problems are settled. Babatunde Fashola, the ex-governor of Lagos state, is the incumbent minister of power. He also heads the ministries of housing and works. The ministry is manned by former governor of Lagos State,Mr. Babatunde Fashola, who also oversees the ministries of Housing and Works. Senator Melaye also criticised the administration for increasing electricity tariff while Nigeria continued to be falling into darkness. He advised Nigerians to put pressure on the administration and the National Assembly to effect the needed change in the power sector. Melaye through series of tweets said: “I woke up this morning worrying about my country and the need to get it right “We must fix power by all means. Nigerians should put the issue of power on the front burner. “With power stability industrial revolution is guaranteed. “Our president should be Minister of Power and then constitute a special task force committee headed by an assertive and strong willed person.“It is absurd to increase tariff and then decrease supply of same product. “As a people we must demand result from the power sector reform. It can’t not be same. “Citizens must put pressure on the National Assembly to create the needed change in the power sector. “Power stability is possible. We need a date of hope from Government. Everyone in power, myself inclusive, must wake up to our responsibilities.“We must support and push Buhari to make a change in the power sector.” “Our oversight in this regard, power generation, transmission and distribution, must be holistic. We must make extra sacrifice in tandem with our oath.” The senator recently clashed with the Edo state Governor Adams Oshiomhole over his choice of a foreign woman as wife in a spate of made-in-Nigeria campaign. Therefore, if Buhari, who already supervises the position of Minister of Petroleum, is to follow Melaye’s advice,it means he would be relieving Fashola of the position. After the May 29 inauguration President Buhari announced that he was set to appoint himself at the petroleum minister as “nobody’s hands are clean enough to do the surgical changes needed”, which was said by one of the president’s associates

He will soon ask the President to take over the Ministry of Women Affairs so Nigerians will continue to patronize Naija women #yeyeMan

Despite keeping nigerians in the dark for 6 good months before he could appoint ministers,none of them seems to be working but they are receiving salaries every month.
