‘OBJ has a part in it’ | Cardinal Okogie weighs in on the ministerial list with 3 salient points

Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, says there isn’t a lot of difference in the present administration and the past administration.

Okogie, who stated this in a interview with Daily Sun, said Buhari’s declaration during his swearing in that “belong to nobody, i belong to everybody” is not true.

Here are 3 points from Cardinal Okogie about the ministerial nominees.

 

1. The Cardinal doubts if Buhari really meant: ‘I belong to everybody and belong to nobody’

“When I was listening to the broadcast of the incumbent president during his swearing–in, I beat my chest, can this man say, those things were written by him? I ask myself is this the Buhari I knew 2011, that wrote this? Even though it was written for him, can he not sit down and read and re-read again, and ask him­self, if he can follow all those things written down. Looking at the statement he made ‘I belong to everybody but nobody’. Look at the list of ministers, he belongs to nobody, I laughed. It means he belonged to APC.

 

2. Cardinal Okogie says the youth will revolt if Buhari fails

“And with the list, they are now trying to pay back those who were their bag carriers, that is what am seeing, that is not Nigeria which we fought for, it’s painful. So, what is com­ing ahead if care is not taken and this crop of people if they don’t work hand in hand, we are going to have a bad future, because the youths now, they are just waiting, they are now say­ing that the elderly ones in this country, can’t be trusted, they are looking for their time and when that time comes, they will not carry arms, they will do it in such a way that you will not even know that they are the one.”

 

3. Okogie believes Obasanjo has a hand in Buhari’s ministerial selection

“The people who have served in different capacities should have given room for the young­er ones to go in and serve. OBJ used to say I sit down dey look (laugh), I don’t know what he has to say to all this, but I know he has a part in it. And yet you said, you be­long to nobody, how can you not be confused, when you said you’re waiting for an angel, to come and rule the nation, I laughed. Out of the abundant of the heart, the mouth speaketh. If I were in his shoes, (Buhari) I tell you, this is his last time. He tried it thrice and now that the good Lord brought him back, can’t he use this opportunity to do something better?
