    If one juxterposes FASHOLA as the current minister of power under buhari and CHINEDU NEBO the former minister of power under the ex-president GOODLUCK JONATHAN, you discover that FASHOLA looks innocent on the face interms of action service delivery than NEBO. It was during Nebo tenure as minister of power that cunning phrase of non-consumption crazy electricity bill was introduced.electricity bills are not sent to the households in tantamount to what metre reads. wheather one consumes energy or not or even suffer power outage or not at the end of the month you will be forced to pay higher electric bill or have your power supply disconnected.But this reminds me of what the scripture says ” when a righteous is in power the poor people rejoice “.With FASHOLO in charge of POWER, I know for sure that he will correct this ills, his track record as the former LAGOS STATE GOVERNOR speaks for him.

    Democracy is not matured without criticism. So with ministers emmerged from each state of the 36 states in Nigeria, I think buhari has done his bit to fulfil the wish of his critics meaning that, he is a listening PRESIDENT .

    With the forestall meticulous and conscious selection of the competent ministers by the visionary leader like mohammadu buhari, and appointing himself as the petroleum minister which is the first of its kind in the history of nigeria I think the new dawn for proportional representation, egalitarian system of governance, public opinion poll, multi- tribal encompassment into the mainstream of the economy, fair share of dividend of democracy,single spirit of compatriotism, tribal integration,combatment of systematic corruption, accountability in the public office, checkmating voracious looting of public fund,economic standardization, promotion of foreign direct investment, stability of electricity, free education for all , free access to basic healthcare, upliftment of our arts and culture, co-existency, payment of teachers arrears, reduction of government excess expenditure, impeachment and trial of corrupt goverment official, rule of law has began. kudos !

      Though we have 2 ministers in ‘power, works n housing’, the ministry is too bulky!. I suggest it’s broken at least into 2 (separating power). Fixing of Fashola is only ‘faily fantastic’, with d view that he was overworked as Lagos gov., and may like to favi his geo- political zone which is already more endowed than d others in d economy.

    What I figured out on the selection of the ministers is that, buhary’s frame of mind revealed to him that allowing presidential piece of cake to revolve to all the ethnic diversity across the 36 states in the country is divine and will help to eliminate rancour and maginalization to the extent that all the ministers emmerged from each state of the 36 states and to appoint himself as the minister for petroleum meaning that he wants to eradicate corruption completely GREAT !

    Mr president has try enough in terms of nominating his ministers
    but the question we need to ask ourselves is that wen will son of nobody clinch d mantle of leadership ?
    y can’t they give room for those that av not tasted power bf to av d knowledge ?
