I jxt pray God giv dem a guided wisdom 2 lead us 2 a better economy:
Congratulations to the ministers as I say a very big Amen to the pray of Emmanuel the first commentator, but for Hon. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba; the man of destiny, Thank God. Thank God because God’s hand is in his appointment particularly. His appointment is a movement towards the height God has reserved for him, a fulfilment of God’s plan for him. This a leader ordained by God but because men would always opt for Barrabas instead of Jesus Christ our Lord, he was magu magued out during election. However when men close one way, God opens many others. This is an evidence. Let me also use this medium to express my opinion of a The Nation online news that President Buhari instructed the ministers to always reach him through the SGF; Boss Mustapha, or his(president’s) COS; Abba Kyari. This instruction should be reversed. For the SGF, partially right but for the COS, totally wrong. Abba Kyari is the president’s employee accountable to him as an individual.
He is the Chief steward of the president’s domestic workers such as his aides, assistants, cooks, tailors, barbers, errand runners, body guards, and etc whose duties fall within these range. He is not a public servant as his duties does not hava a bearing on the citizenry. On the contrary, just like the president himself, these ministers are meant to serve the Nigerian populace, they are public servants. Much as the populace are the objects of governance, the ministers should be closer to the president than his COS. Furthermore, these ministers are members of the federal executive council whereas Abba Kyari is not. Thank you.
I wish dem unembezil and wise administrative tenue.
May Almighty ALLAH bless this regime and guide them through and may we benefit much more of this regime…Ameeen
MAY ALMIGHTY ALLAH GUILD THEM ALL
