The historic conclusion to the March 28th presidential elections may
have turned the political structures of the ruling party on its head
in a manner that marveled many within the country but the
uncertainties surrounding the staffing of the incoming Buhari
administration appears to pose a more intriguing scenario. This is as
information available to 247ureports.com indicates that the typical
horse trading for the sensitive ministerial positions within the
Buhari administration has ensued.
Available information indicates that the former Central Bank of
Nigeria [CBN] Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo may have
been presented by the former president of Nigeria, General Olusegun
Obasanjo as the possible Minister of Finance for the Buhari
administration. Prof. Soludo had served as a member of the economic
team for the Obasanjo administration prior to becoming the governor of
the CBN.
Soludo's presentation to the incoming administration as the likely
minister of finance is reported to have raised eyebrows within the
inner circles of the All Progressive Congress [APC] - who explained
that Soludo remains a card carrying member of the All Progressive
Grand Alliance [APGA]. He complained that Soludo cannot be allowed to
reap where he did not sow. The main chieftain of the party, Bola
Tinubu is said to be among the APC members who were skeptical about
Soludo's possible appointment as Finance minister.
