Brace up for challenges ahead — Buhari Support Group tells Nigerians

Mohammadu Buhari

President Buhari's ministerial lists was made public yesterday and without hesitation, screening has already commence in the Red Chamber.

While the list generated controversy with some saying it is a clear message that the president either doesn't know what integrity really is, or his anti corruption crusade is nothing but a sham and means of persecuting perceived political enemies, others especially from the president’s camp however, express satisfaction saying the replacement of Ministers who failed to live up to expectations in the last four years, is a sign the president means business.



Adding to the list of hailers, a group known as the Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO), congratulated president Buhari saying the replacement of 31 Ministers who served in his first term with new ones, proves the president is ready to take Nigeria to the next level.

The group who in a statement jointly signed by its State Coordinator, Mr Abdulwaheed Odunuga and its Secretary, Mr Adekunle Aderibigbe in Lagos, said, “We are highly delighted with the president’s decision to relieve most of the members of his old cabinet in order to give way for the “Next Level” that passionate patriotic citizens voted for.



“We had waited patiently for this moment with the belief that the necessary background check would have been carried out to affirm the personality of these patriotic men and women.

“The nominees, we believe, are ready for the great task to take the affairs, growth and development of the nation to the president’s next level vision,” the group said. The youth leaders expressed great satisfaction with the calibre of men and women who made the lists.



“We are also glad that our visionary leaders like Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi, and Adeleke Mamora made the list.

“We are glad that Rahmatu Tijjani, Lai Mohammed and several others made the honourable list.

“We implore the Federal Government to take the leadership matters of all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) very seriously and urgently to ensure none of these MDAs fall short of expectation,’’ the organisation said.



The group also called kn Nigerias to brace up for the challenges ahead.

“We also want to call on all Nigerians, most especially the elected and appointed ones, to brace up for the challenge ahead while treating matters with all urgency to solve problems and deliver beyond expectations.


“Nigeria will only be taken seriously in the world only when we show this with our actions. So God help us all,” the group said.
