#BBB NEWS| Toward A New Nigeria (1) Buhari Should Fill His Cabinet With Geniuses By Bayo Oluwasanmi

Here is my radical suggestion: President-elect Muhammadu Buhari should pick the smartest people he can find for his cabinet. With the presidential election finally over, it is now time for President-elect Buhari to complete his most difficult challenge: select a cabinet that not only satisfies the demands of his APC colleagues, but also one that garners the approval of majority of Nigerians.

The purpose of a cabinet is to monitor various departments of Nigeria's government without the president having to be involved in every aspect. The president's main advisory body is his cabinet. Brilliance has never been the criterion in our presidential cabinet appointments. Instead, cabinet appointments have been based solely on rewarding friends and backers, and appeasing industry and interest groups.

With the economy in shambles and disdain for Nigerians increasing throughout the world, we have become concerned over whom Buhari will choose for his cabinet. We're very interested to see who Buhari will surround himself with. This will make or break his presidency. We'll like to know where the economy and general direction of the country is headed.
