Tomorrow all eyes will be. On the National Assembly as they commence the rigorous and irksome process of screening the ministerial nominees whose names were made public last week by the Senate President Bukola Saraki. Nigerians will be looking to see how the next generation of men who will bear the destinies of over one hundred and eighty million Nigerians in their hands.
Interesting will be the appearance of a controversial nominee in the person of Rotimi Amechi who has ruffled quite some feathers in different quarters of the power blocks. I also hope the senators will use privileged information at their disposal to best of the country's interests, by ensuring that incompetent, corrupt and self serving individuals do not get in through the back door.
I also join in the call that the screening be streamed live, so that as many that can will watch and see the demeanor of our would be ministers while on the hot seat. Nigerians are their employers and so are entitled to access their competence by watching the exercise live. It is worthy to note that President Muhamadu Buhari PMB has been quoted as saying that he will not intervene in any of his ministerial nominees scrutiny by the anti graft agencies, so it is every one for himself, God for all of us. They should also be made to declare their assets; this will give credence to the anti corruption war by this administration. I am excited because it will be another opera.
