Buhari’s Ministers: Return⬅ of Yesterday’s Men for Today’s Job.

The list of the ministerial nominees sent to the Senate on Tuesday by President Muhammadu Buhari has generated mixed reactions but examines if the list is worth the wait About two months after taking the oath of office for his second term, President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday released the much-awaited list of ministers who will assist him to deliver his electoral promises compressed into a campaign theme and matra known as 'Next Level.'

The belief was that having been in the saddle for the first four years from May 29, 2015, the Nigerian leader should have hit the ground running by naming the ministers that will work with him earlier, even on the day of his inauguration.

But the Tuesday's ministerial nominees' list can still be considered to be fast in coming when compared with what happened during Buhari's first term when it took him about five months to name his ministers, many of whom analysts rated below average at the end of their tenure.

A professor of Political Science at the Lagos State University, Sylvester Odion-Akhaine, in an interview with our correspondent, said a country that had many issues to resolve could not be recycling those he described as failed politicians as Nigeria is currently doing.

"Apart from a few of them who have not served the government like Festus Keyamo, who I knew when we were in the trenches and people like Ikechukwu Ogar and Emeka Nwajuba, those are a few young men who I believe can do better than all these former this and former that who have failed and no longer have anything to offer.
