What matters the most is a list of ministers ready to make a remarkable change. It's mere triviality to be upset over the timing of their appointment.
The upset is about the nonchalance of those in power in keeping with promises and timelines that they set.

This is a simple matter that is the exclusive preserve of the Presidency, yet they have failed their own target.

Does that inspire confidence over the weightier matters of the law?

So if Buhari had not been proactive to employ the law to curtail the same delay he practiced, the Tinubu regime would have told us that Buhari took 6months to nominate Ministers, so we should not be in a hurry?

The government of Tinubu must be admonished to be serious with the matters of governance.

RenaissanceGuy:
It's Tinubu who should be ashamed. Did he give them the list to deliver to the NASS and they refused to??
Agreed!

But notice that we do not have any promise from Tinubu, that is why I faced those who made the promise and who are inside his government to ensure their Principal meets the expectations they have set.

Except they set him up to fail.

Dele Alake is known as Mr Strategy. What is strategic about making a promise and still being the one to come out later when the promise was due to claim until the President exceeds the 60days set in law, we should not complain?

That level of irresponsibilty should never be accepted by Nigerians, more so those who want the country to work for all.

If this was the UK, Dele Alake would have resigned in disgrace.

Politics is different from government. What's the essence of rushing to select same crops of ministers?

Ministerial screening should be anytime from next month so that by that time, government must have understand the extent of the subsidy removal.

Infact, I suggested some weeks ago that the money saved from the subsidy should be kept for 3 months, FiRS collected highway Tax in the first 6 months, if you add all those together for 3 months, there should be something reasonable in terms of local generated funds to cater for the effects of the subsidy removal without borrowing
We must always hold the government to task over little things, else they would fail over more serious matters that would have dire consequences.

There is no dire consequence yet to the lateness of the cabinet nominations, but it shows the nonchalance of the government to keeping with their promises.

Does the APC want to remain under the ignominy of its All Promises Cancelled epithet?

You want to continue struggling to win national elections?

If not for the 4 horse race of the presidential election, would the APC be in power now?

At what point would the party and its government learn to move fast and deliver to the expectations of its dwindling support base?

I supported Obi to win and he won with a landslide victory only for Tinubu to steal his mandate. It will be retrieved at the tribunal in a matter of time.
Keep shut and stop looking for mandate to steal.

The only landslide Obi won is the erosion on his native Anambra.

Have you thought about that? You think the presidency are not receiving feed back of masses perception about the government so far?
Your excuses only underline that the Tinubu government did not plan for the contingencies that are expected when putting together a cabinet.

He did it in 3weeks as Governor, what stopped him from maintaining his own standard?

Now he is struggling to meet up with the standard set by a notorious cabinet "latecomer".

That is not inspiring at all.

Too early for this

I thought the name of the the selected ministers was sent to NSA for security background, what if some of them are questionable and the government is working on replacement before presenting the list to the Senate
Excuses!

This is the same Tinubu that Dele Alake reminded us that his state cabinet was formed in 3weeks as Governor of Lagos State.

Why would Lagos get to Abuja and then suffer stage fright?

Or are you saying Dele Alake was irresponsible in defining how long it would take a serious government in naming its cabinet, regardless of the expected protocols involved in finalising the list?

Tinubu is a failure already. This is what happens when someone doesn't have the people's mandate.
So all those who have failed in the past did so because they had no "peoples mandate"?

Be serious.

This is about governance, not politics.

Politics › Ministerial Nominations: Dele Alake And Bayo Onanuga Should Be Ashamed by Throwback(op): 10:06am On Jul 21, 2023
These 2 failures of the infant Tinubu government are close Aides and Senior Advisers who promised Nigerians in March 2023 that we would see a marked difference in the Tinubu administration, as it concerns the readiness of the Tinubu government to hit the ground running in terms of forming his national cabinet.

They both individually set a timeline of 30days ahead of the 60days timeline signed into law by Buhari, who ironically is the 6months late comer that did not want his predecessors to be like him.

Today is day 54. Today is also 24days overdue for the serious government standard they set. Dele Alake has suddenly gone mute. Bayo Onanuga has no official role in government yet, but we know he is a close confidant of President Tinubu.

A government that has proven to be unreliable in its promise over a simple matter of cabinet nomination, despite the many months of post election transition, and is now struggling to meet the lawful deadline of 60days, cannot inspire confidence in even its most ardent supporters.

This begs the question, how prepared is the Tinubu regime to tackle the serious and complex problems we have as a nation, if it cannot attain a simple milestone set by its own top officials for a mere nomination that is the exclusive preserve of the Presidency?

Are we on another roller coaster ride where indecision and delay is the order of the day?

Is Tinubu "shocked" that his ministerial nominations are yet to be released by himself?

Morning shows the day.

What I can assure is that however unprepared the Tinubu regime is to meeting up with the challenges of national governance, him and his team have no choice but to perform the job he sought.

At day 54, we ask Tinubu to stop being unserious, casual and irresponsible. Nominate your cabinet today and move fast to recover lost ground of the current public perception that the Tinubu regime does not have the capacity to deliver on its own renewed hope.


Speaking with one of our correspondents on Friday, the Special Adviser to the president-elect, Mr Dele Alake, disclosed that it would not take Tinubu up to 60 days to assemble a team of competent hands for his government.
He said, “I told you in an earlier interview that it didn’t take Asiwaju more than three weeks to form his cabinet as governor. That was as at that time. I think 60 days is even too much. A month, maximum, is enough for any serious government to form its cabinet and put a structure of government in place after the swearing-in.”

His position was re-echoed by the Director of Media and Publicity for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga.

Although he declined to give details, Onanuga distanced his principal from some names of possible cabinet members being mentioned in the media.

He added, “What I can assure you is that even if the list is not ready on the first day, it will not take Asiwaju more than one month to put his cabinet together. He definitely will not wait for 60 days to assemble a competent cabinet.”

You should be crying that the Tinubu regime is not showing the seriousness that could deliver on the renewed hope ambition.

Are you not worried that the same people who set a 1month deadline ahead of the 60days rule, are now scampering to even meet up with the 60days?

This is absolute rubbish.

Today is day 54.

So we now have to thank Buhari for lawfully and forcefully keeping Tinubu within 60days to nominate his cabinet, otherwise he would have also taken 6months to do so?

Did Dele Alake and Bayo Onanuga not promise us that Tinubu would nominate his cabinet within 1 month?

Is today not 24 days overdue according to the "serious government" standard that they set by themselves?

Initial gra gra critics have been fully vindicated.

What a shame.

If today's naira is weaker than the dollar six months ago what does that tell you? Now compare that with the current price, common sense is indeed not common.
I have already compared the current prices.

Ghana fuel at average of 14.5 Cedis at current dollar value of $1.26.

Nigeria fuel at unstable N620 which can easily go back to N510, is at dollar value of $0.80.

Ghana Cedis is about 11.5 to $1.

And you say fuel was sold as at 6months ago for 13.23 Cedis which is about $1.20.

What is $1.20 in Naira at official rate of 774?

N929


Is fuel in Nigeria up to N929 which is what it would be if buying fuel in Ghana with our Naira?

Besides, your pricing information is from 6months ago when Nigerian fuel was around N200.

Who is to say if fuel in Ghana is still 13.23 Cedis?

The information online is that it is averagely now trading for 14.5 Cedis, as it continues to fluctuate just like Nigeria's.

You are quoting a report from 6 months ago as your basis for creating anarchy in the country?

Was Nigeria selling fuel at N600 6 months ago?

Do you know how much it now cost in Ghana or any of the countries you copied carte blanche from your outdated source?

Do you think the conversion rates remain the same?

I work in the Oil industry and I will soon give you a complete and current conversion rate against the US Dollars for all the currencies you listed.

I will leave you to do better research on what the current cost price itself is in those respective countries.

You father or mother alone abi?

Ode, I'm not a supporter of any politician, but when something is written in black and white,say it as it is,no politician will pay u even if u defend them here till d end if ur life.

It's stated and the fct. simple

So from ur analysis, d simple definition of democracy doesn't mean government of the people,for the people and by the people.

Make una dey try get sense sometimes abeg.

Odes everywhere...
Why is it so hard for you lots to accept that the totality of Nigeria is all the states which happen to be 36 and FCT.

Even a primary school child know that Nigeria since 1996 is composed of 36 States and FCT.

States and FCT is a description for Nigeria beyond electoral matters. The AND has always been there to describe the FCT in conjuction with the 36 states.

So concerning the issue of national spread in elections where the totality of Nigeria is concerned, it must refer to all the states and FCT.

That is because FCT is not a state for Nigeria to be referred to as 37 States. So it must always have the conjunction AND between the 36 states and FCT as the totality of Nigeria.

For the purpose of the national spread, the winner of the majority or highest votes, must secure 25% in 2/3 of Nigeria, which is 2/3 of all the states and FCT.

If the electoral condition of 25% was to be applied individually to only all the 36 states, and individually to the FCT, there would be a comma before the AND (all the states, and FCT), or it would be stated as a separate sentence.

That is not the case.

So the AND represents the togetherness of all the 36 States and the FCT, just as every child knows that is the total composition of Nigeria.
