Mr President was quoted to have made a statement that suggest that
ministers are not to relevant in the running of government. According to
President Buhari “The ministers are there, I think, to make a lot
of noise; for the politicians to make a lot of noise. But the work is
being done by the technocrats. They are there; they have to provide the
continuity, dig into the records and then guide us, [those of us] who
are just coming in.
“They have been there, some of them for 15
years
, some for 20 years. So I think this question of ministers is political. People from different constituencies want to see their people directly in government, and see what they can get out of it.”
To be fair with the President, his perception of Ministers is inappropriate. I wonder what prompted him to utter such statement when he was a former minister under the General Olusegun Obasanjo military regime between 1977-79. Is he trying to say that he was a 'noisemaking' minister in General Obasanjo cabinet?
