BUHARI'S MINISTERS: Amaechi, Fashola, Others Make List

From what OluFamous.Com 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.
