Anyone Seen The Cabinet?

The question on everyone's mind right now is;

"When Will PMB Appoint His Cabinet?"

But to be quite candid, "Who Flipping Cares?!" 

Don't get me wrong. Of-course I care about the formation of the next cabinet. Its professional capacity or otherwise  is paramount. Indeed it isn't too much of an exaggeration to say that the next fifty years of this nation's journey could be determined by the composition of PMB's first cabinet. 

An absurd statement?

Allow me to explain.

Nigeria's Presidents have for too long been dictated to by king makers, war lords, party chiefs, and various miscreants disguising their devilishly selfish ambitions with obscene levels of wealth (stolen of-course).  

So for once, rather than a president heeding to the whims and avarices of those that put him there we finally have a man at the helm of our dear nation's affairs who isn't afraid to make his own decisions. 

It seems he meant what he said when he stated;

" I Belong To Everybody, And I Belong To Nobody."

Apparently the reason our President is taking his time is threefold.

1. Clear message to all and sundry that he will be dictated to by no-one.

2. He wants those jostling for ministerial positions to grow weary and loose interest.

3. He wants the somewhat thorny issues within the legislature to be resolved first.

Someone told me yesterday that the beginning of wisdom is to NOT send lists of ministerial nominees to the President. 

I really couldn't care less whether the next cabinet consists of only Easterners, Westerners, Southerners, Northerners, Aliens from Pluto, or Dogs from Mars. All that matters to me is that they carry out their tasks with Sincerity, Care, Passion and Great Aplomb. 

All that matters to me is results - steering this nation towards sustained Progress and Prosperity. And if you think otherwise then I'd have to wonder why? After-all which is more important - that your interests are protected / represented, or that our sleeping giant of a nation makes some much needed progress??

Let us be in absolutely no doubt about one thing. We are about to witness the formulation of a truly Technocratic and Professional cabinet; something we haven't witnessed on these shores for well over half a century. 

So once again I say "Who Flipping Cares?!!!!"

Not because I don't care about my country, but because I also want those hungry power seekers to loose interest, abandon their plans to loot the nation's treasury, and go and do something Constructive and Value Adding.

Far better for us to wait patiently in order to get an Intelligent, Professional, and Productive Cabinet.

We all screamed for Change. 

This is a very Positive Change from the way things were done before. 

Let's hope PMB is setting a precedent that others will follow.  

Hang in there Mr. President - In Your Own Time.
