From what we gathered, Babatunde Fashola,
Rotimi Amaechi, Prof. Tam David-West, Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu,
ex-NBA President, Rotimi Akeredolu, Sam Ndah-Isaiah, etc
will be the leading men in the government of President
Muhammadu Buhari when it is inaugurated from May 29.
With just weeks to the inauguration, the shape of the new
cabinet is beginning to emerge. The position of the
Secretary to the Federal Government is between Governor
Amaechi and Chris Ngige. The FCT minister will likely go to
Governor Fashola. Minister of Petroleum will like go to the
man who said there is no subsidy and that Nigerians can
buy fuel for as low as N50 per liter.
That man is Prof. David West, who has worked closely with
Buhari before and remained loyal to him. In all, the
government may be composed of Nigerians who are not
only driven by the desire to restore the dream of the
founding fathers but also share the modest lifestyle of
Buhari.
Gen. Buhari has resolved to work with the best and he is
considering the likes of Akeredolu for Justice; Sports may
go to ex-minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, who left Jonathan's
government for APC.
According to a Daily Sun source, “It’s the President-elect’s
personal wish to return former Nigeria’s oil Minister, David
West to the Petroleum Ministry.”
According to him, David West is incorruptible, frugal, and
loyal even in trying times.
The source also revealed that while a lot of qualified
technocrats are being bandied about and their names
forwarded by party chiefs and lobbyists for the minister of
finance, the inner circle of the President-elect is leaning
toward the expertise of Dr. Idika Kalu, a World Bank
specialist consultant, who, for many years, worked with the
bank’s various development programmes catapulting the
Korean economy from the third world into its present
competitive global market.
The position of Coordinating Minister will be scrapped,
there will be an economic advisory committee.
On security, it was gathered that Buhari is considering one
General Garba as Defence Minister, National Security
Adviser (NSA) or Chief of Staff.
General Cyril Iweze, a then young Igbo officer who served
directly under Buhari in the First Division before the Nigeria
Civil War, may lead the operation against Boko Haram.
General Iweze was the Nigerian Commander of ECOMOG in
Liberia. He’s reputed to have given the Maitatsene sect hell
in the defunct Gongola State.
The source revealed that General Buhari may constitute a
Special Force made of serving and retired officers, who
would be given a mandate to finish up Boko Haram once
and for all. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
