I am fully persuaded that this is the right time to encourage our leaders at all levels, notably the president, the governors and national assembly leaders who are on the verge of dissolving old cabinets, advisory boards and making new ones to consider the time and the season that are shaping our destiny in the country at the moment.
We pray therefore for the spirit of wisdom for our leaders and their advisers at this time of political recruitment, which is the foundation of success or failure. Doubtless, the decision our leaders are about to take will either make or mar the economy, peace and stability in the nation, among others in the next four years. The decisions most of the leaders took concerning appointments in 2015 have been consequential and all of us have been affected one way or the other.
Some of the poor performances have manifested in the states recently from the way some sitting and immediate past governors, specifically in Oyo, Ondo, Gombe, AkwaIbom, Delta, etc could not win senatorial elections in their states. These are significant developments about stewardship ofsome governors. Most of them have been wasters and under-achievers – for eight years.
We can begin process of rebuildingour broken walls too by suggesting to the president wherever he is making his appointments. The simple suggestion is that he should this time consider a cabinet of significance to the country. The cabinet he made in 2015 was with due respect what Benjamin Disraeli once described as ‘a cabinet of mediocrities’. One is not too sure even the president has been proud of his cabinet – that has not been remarkable, anyway.
I am aware most government agencies’ heads then compromised the White Paper Committee – to remain as entities. And president Jonathan was careless about this remarkable document that would have reformed the public sector significantly before 2015. This is a time to encourage the president to consider the absurdity of allocating more than 70 per cent of the national budget to recurrent expenditure just for public servants and political office holders. This is a time for his party officials to put heads together on prudent management of the nation’s resources. The president needs to cut costs by merging ministries, agencies and even embassies we don’t need. He needs to talk of Nigeria first, not party men first.

Labour minister 'not worried' doctors leave Nigeria | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World NewsNigeria’s labour minister, Chris Ngige, in spite of an appalling doctor-patient ratio, says he is not worried about how medical doctors are leaving the country in large numbers, because Nigeria has a “surplus.” Nigeria Ngige DoctorsInNigeria The minister doesn't care about the citizenry. Infact, it looks like a saboteur to the present administration. There is a huge gap between the political elites and the people. Both are living in separate worlds. I have the feeling that Ngige always 'highs' himself each time he's invited to come to the studio, otherwise, he shouldn't be embarrassing himself as he just did.
