Djoel:
That ending note tho. If I know David well, that minister should wait for it loud and heavy.

Are you admitting that David Hundeyin's brand of journalism is all about witch-hunt?

He will stop sniffing Tinubu’s pants in favour of a Zimbabwean fragrance?

Gondonu:
Tinubu’s is a long dysmytified crook whose only obsession is to bear the name president.

I hope it is not the case of performing within a small space and little task, but not meeting up with the demands of higher responsibility as it plagued Fashola, whose notable performance as Minister is a mockery when compared to his trailblazing work as Governor.

This is same Tinubu whose close Adviser reminded us that it took only 3Weeks to have his Commissioners appointed when he was Governor of Lagos State, and further promised that this time he would do it under 1 month as suitable time required by serious government.

What is happening is a serious self indictment.

The Tinubu regime has become its own worst enemy.

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.”

OriOko88:
At u now gradually admitting that Tinubu is losing the plot?

On this matter of appointing ministers, he has lost the plot.

This is a lost battle for renewed hope, but the war ensues.

For the sake of Nigeria, we must not lose the war for renewed hope.

ebenezry:
we watching just few days to the end of the two month

We are watching keenly and closely.

Whether Tinubu or APC like it, we must get the renewed hope they promised, whether they have it or not.

Imagine something as simple as nominating a few Nigerians that have already been born, becomes a difficult task of looking for beauty in a country where the beautiful ones are not yet born.

This is truly shameful.

We now have to be thankful to Buhari for ensuring no matter how slow and inefficient the Tinubu government is with the ministerial nominations, he cannot, he cannot exceed the 60days that the new law stipulate.

Buhari ensured that no government will come after him and be like him that required 6months to make a decision that could have come in 2weeks.

Today is day 53.

7days to go.

23days overdue going by the serious government rule of Tinubu's own close advisers.

Hit the ground running is now fully confirmed to be initial gra gra charade that successive Nigerian governments have put up typically in their 1st month in power.

joyandfaith:
What did he achieve as health minister? Beko kuti was still the best health minister. Universal health coverage is what you would use to measure performance in heath sector..

Not Dr Beko Ransome-Kuti, but his older brother, Prof Dr Olikoye Ransome-Kuti who served under the Babangida regime during the HIV-AIDS pandemic era (late 1980s).

We are still waiting for what is now 23 days overdue as per the 1month standard of a "serious government".

mrvitalis:
I would assume you know absolutely nothing about economics to call economy tinubu strong point

Helicopter money comment? To soldiers employment? To his team full of inexperienced micro economics trying to take job of a macro economics

Bros you absolutely don't know anything about economics

I don't need to know anything about Economics to know that a winning team who managed to grow the economy of Lagos to be the 5th largest in Africa, is the best team that is accustomed to achieving results.

OfficialAPCNig:
The economy is Tinubus strong point yet he threw the country into unprecedented hardship

Hardship that we all knew would come once subsidy is removed.

mrvitalis:
Let's assume those two were wrong

Has it ever happened that one zone produced

President, finance minister, CBN governor n FIRS boss

The Economy is Tinubu's strong point. That is his Joker.

Tinubu is Nigeria's first President who is a Finance technocrat and expert. That would have been MKO Abiola, but for the aborted 1993 election.

He has his team from Lagos who are already the best there is in Nigeria considering their output for Lagos State within the context of Africa.

Even the current Director General of the Budget Office (Ben Akabueze) and the former FIRS head (Babatunde Fowler), are part of this Lagos gang of economic experts.

So do not be surprised if the economic roles you allege, are truly totally dominated by the Lagos gang, regardless of their respective states of origin.

This is the era where Naija is now Lagos.

This team have done it for Lagos while other states were sleeping. They are the best suited to do it for Nigeria.

mrvitalis:
Lol yorubas wants to be, finance minister, CBN governor, FIRS, minister of health, works ministry

Not that I care but I found it hypocritical that same people that complained about Jonathans government being South East dominateed ( which was obvious lies) because South East had SSG and deputy Senate President and deputy speaker,

Are now grabbing everything

While the news report is still very specilative for the names and roles mentioned, where exactly in the report did you read a Yoruba name as Minister of Health or Works as you have claimed?

I would recommend that the Minister of FCT be given firstly to a SouthEasterner or secondly to a SouthSoutherner.

It should not be the exclusive preserve of Northern politicians.

In the 1st republic headed by Tafawa-Balewa, all the Ministers of Lagos where from the North.

Yar'Adua and also Ribadu.

seborrhic:
Nothing one will not read on nland.
Prof.Adeoye Lambo,an economist?
This Tinubu goverment is it's short span has really dealt with some people's brains that they now reason upside down.

Adeoye Lambo is the popular Professor of Psychiatry.

Eyitayo Lambo who was Health Minister under Obasanjo, is an Economist who majors on healthcare systems.

FreeStuffsNG:
Well done Gov Adeleke. It's not compulsory to have a healthcare professional heading the ministry. For the health sector in particular, it's a case of a house divided against itself , that's what the Health sector deserves.

Till date, the best period for the health sector was when Pa Obasanjo appointed Prof. Lambo, an Economist, to head the Federal Ministry of Health. He used his independent mind and knowledge to settle most of the issues.

HE Adeleke may be lucky with this idea too. In the health sector, there's so much professional rivalry and I doubt it will end even if you appoint a non-healthcare professional for as long as the professionals don't settle the legions of professional differences.

You are right about Prof Eyitayo Lambo, who was Health Minister during Obasanjo's 2nd term.

He is an Economist whose body of work centered on health economics and health management systems.

This is similar to the criteria used by most American governments to appoint health ministers. Even when they go for career politicians for the role, they settle for those whose political advocacy had centered on healthcare initiatives.

He earned B.Sc. and M.A. degrees in economics and a Ph.D. degree in operational research applied to health systems. Professor Lambo taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the Universities of Ibadan, Ilorin and Bendel State, 1974 to 1992.[3]

He was elected a Fellow for Operational Research (England), one of the first Africans so honored by that international professional organization in 1986. He was a consultant lecturer to the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria, the Nigerian Industrial Development Bank and the African Development Bank.

He was also external examiner to several Universities, including the City University of London.[4]

Lambo was the Regional Adviser for health sector reforms, health care financing and health in socioeconomic development in the World Health Organization's regional office for Africa from 1990 to 1999.[citation needed]

He was the first economist to be employed by the WHO’s Regional Office for Africa.[5] He introduced health economics into the work of the WHO in Africa and built/strengthened capacity in health economics in the WHO Regional Office for Africa as well as in WHO country offices in Africa before taking an early and voluntary retirement from the United Nations System in 1999. At the Regional Committee of the Ministers of Health of the African Region held in Windhoek, Namibia in 1999, he received the award of the “most hardworking staff’’ in the WHO Regional Office for Africa.[citation needed]

He was Director of the Change Agent (for Health Sector Reform) Program in Nigeria (a sister program to PATHS I) funded by the Department for International Development (DFID), UK with the Federal Government of Nigeria from October 2001 to July 2003.[citation needed]

Professor Lambo has published over sixty papers, articles and books in the areas of quantitative economics, modeling, operations research applied to health, strategic management, and health economics.

It is not weird by the American standards we love to copy and want to relocate to.

Any profession can become any kind of Minister or Commissioner.

Only the Ministry of Justice is exceptional because same Minister/Commissioner serves as the Attorney General who sometimes has to appear in court on behalf of the government.

If I was President/Governor, I would never appoint a Medical Doctor as Minister/Commissioner of Health.

I could appoint another medical expert like Pharmacist/BioChemist/MicroBiologist or even a Biologist or Food Scientist or Nutritionist as Minister/Commissioner.

I would tackle health from the proactive standpoint of healthy eating and living.

Imagine the person without credibility promising on something as complex as subsidy removal and palliatives as he previously promised and failed on something as simple as ministerial nominees.

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.”

All those intemperate attacks against the new government of President Bola Tinubu should stop. Let’s await the palliatives as his government has promised. Let’s await the palliatives that will flow from each state as more money is channeled to them from the subsidy savings.

Bayo Onanuga, where is the minister list you assured us to be ready in 1month?

You of all people whose words no longer carry any credibility, is appealing on behalf of the government and telling us to await palliatives that the government has promised?

You mean we should await on a promise the same way we have been awaiting on ministers list that you in particular promised?

Those without credibility should stop speaking on behalf of the government, else the government begins to lose credibility and support very fast in a era when the majority are anti-government.

JAMO84:
He's threatening the Minister as usual, that guy will never stop being arrogant and stupid at the same time.


Meanwhile, Tinubu they call Criminal has never been detained anywhere in the world, those who call him criminal are the ones being detained and deported from London, Zimbabwe etc.

It is called Karma.

They cannot stomach the disgrace, while Tinubu remains blessed.

2mch:
The guy vex say dem cast am as Ghanaian refugee . Relax David and go and find more lamba for your group of gullible followers. The guy is delusional. The level of feeling of self importance in this post is so funny! When they held you like a thief or druggie you should have written this nonsense. Instead you were tweeting and almost crying for fellow Obidients to help you bully your way out.

Ghana better deport the nuisance back to Nigeria before he use lies to scatter the country. As for the claim of traveling all over the world. We know that is a lie. UK has deported you so we know to get visa in other Western country’s, and UK affiliated country’s go hard. Which is more than half of the world. You are just a loser, running where nobody is chasing you. You don’t want your secrets leaked and are writing long epistles like a crushed tiger, but are so comfortable fabricating lies and leaking secrets of others. You should be able to eat what you cook!

He is a typical human who beg when they are in need, but once they get what they want, their normal character will resurface.

Imagine the same fellow begging profusely yesterday, now has the courage to be threatening Zimbabwe that they made a mistake releasing him when he was in their den.

renderme:
No be only humiliate. Mr I have dual citizenship don scam him followers.

Common refugee.

Hahahahaha!

Dem cast refugee like say na spoilt beans wey dem throwaway.

2mch:
He said he placed a call to the embassy and this minister must be aware of that! A call!!! Like he is the President of a country somewhere! The guy get mental issue and an over bloated ego that no one gives a damn about. He’s just an online nuisance crawling all over Africa and trying to get into the West. He first lied he was gay and was denied in UK, Canada and a few other Western nations of Asylum. Now he’s a wanted investigative journalist and they are still denying him entry! LMAO.

His ego knows no bounds.

I used to think no one could be as bad as FFK when it comes to ego and having a short fuse, but you see this partisan political hack called David, he is a thorough nut case.

Whatever you thought you achieved by doing this, I assure you that you should have completed the job yesterday because you will not like what happens next.

The begging braggart should have abused him while he was still in detention.

He has been released, so his initial humility that was an anomaly to the narcissist has disappeared.

I want to go home. Please.

Humans never disappoint.

Finally!

The "serious government" people have awakened from slumber.

IconicR:
Tinubu is really trying, may God help him and shame his haters

Let him shame his haters by releasing his list of ministerial nominees.

53days gone, 7days left.

SOSinNigeria:
Peter Obi is the greatest Nigerian alive! Nigerians from North and South, Christians and Muslims mostly love him.

He is the man a million Tinubus can never be!

May God continue to bless Peter Obi.

Tinubu is already President.

He was a 1st class scholar.

He was Senator.

He was Governor without needing any court judgement to secure victory.

Peter Obi is the persistent olodo who could not grow his state economy the way Tinubu did.

Peter Obi could not create and nurture a political party the way Tinubu did.

Peter Obi could not compete and win the presidential ticket of a mega party the way Tinubu did.

Peter Obi hopes to attain what Tinubu already has.

Let Peter Obi keep growing and years from now, he could be President at the age of 78, even older than Tinubu did.

Newton2024:
You know that no politician is more desperate than Tinubu emilokan. His desperation is even coupled with entitlement mentality. As for the image attached to your comment, please I need a video evidence.

A man who slowly built his party and party members, and waited his turn to contest for his own party ticket is desperate?

A man who knows you must put in the work first and stick with your party, rather than hunting for ticket as a political prostitute?

Even Atiku never hunted for ticket despite his infamous political prostitution. He always joined the parties months and even years ahead of presidential primaries.

Even Aisha Yesufu knows you are joking.

MrSinister:
David should learn to keep certain aspects of his life away from social media. It is unwise to to draw public attention to everything you experience unless it is meant to help people.

Dude was scared he would end up in a crate and bundled to Nigeria.

The arrogant braggart became humble and began to beg imaginary oppressors.

Who would have thought the guy had the word "please" in his vocabulary?

Seeing how Nnamdi Kanu was eventually humbled and broken, David has vowed never to put himself in such a situation.

We are still waiting for the list of ministerial nominees.

Dele Alake said a serious government yada yada yada. Bayo Onanuga also said his own.

Now they are in power, and have become the unserious government that cannot nominate Ministers withing 1 month of being in power like they asserted in March 2023.

Today is day 53. That is 23days overdue by the attainable standard they set themselves for a serious government.

We should be grateful to Buhari for helping to keep Tinubu withing 60days.

Tinubu does not have a choice, Buhari learnt from his own unseriousness and used the law to restrict the unseriousness of those that will come after him.

Tinubu does not have a choice, even if it will take 59 days, that list must be sent to the Senate and disclosed to Nigerians.

The curse of initial gra gra has manifested in the Tinubu administration.

Hit the ground running, but after few days Usain Bolt don break leg.

I so hate when a government cannot seize the initiative and energize their support base with effective and efficient leadership.

In effect, not only are all charges against Kanu over, he cannot be charged to court any more for whatever he may have done, or not done in the past.

Gidgiddy, you are the most deluded of all the Biafran rebels.

Newton2024:
Can you steal someone's mandate without controlling INEC using federal power? Whose mandate did Obi steal? Why do you hate H.E incoming president Peter Obi?

Incoming years ahead as prophesied.

I hate hypocrites who have no scruples themselves.

A very desperate ticket hunter who has no integrity.

Newton2024:
The governor should have said in the months ahead. Nigerians can't wait for Obi to retrieve his stolen mandate.


What manner of man is Peter Obi!
A model for African politicians.

Oya begin to cancel the Governor for not prophesying as you would like.

Obi is a mandate thief.

An illegitimate candidate who is talking about the process, but not worried that his own 11th hour ticket hunting is a terrible stain on our democratic and party politics process.

Let him remain in the evil forest looking for what another person has been accorded with the majority of votes.

Years ahead?

We hope he will not be too old and be 78yrs then.
