Ministerial Nominations: A
Sign of Better Days Ahead - Princewill
PDP stalwart
in Rivers State, Prince Tonye Princewill has expressed his confidence in the
just released ministerial nominees list. In a press statement released by his
Personal Assistant- Media and Publicity, Wabiye Idoniboye-obu, Prince Tonye
encouraged the National assembly to screen and approve the well-deserved candidates.
For
Princewill, “the bedrock of good governance is having a good team behind you;
this has been a challenge for previous administrations in our country. In
leadership, the systematic balance between human capacity and politics is
usually the formula for creating a formidable workforce. In the opening sitting
of the Senate, the senate president, David Mark, presented a list of
ministerial nominees submitted by Mr. President. On this list are intelligent
men and women who have the wherewithal to deliver on targets in the prelude to
an election year.
Princewill who congratulated
President Jonathan for, what he called, “a move in the right direction”, enthused,
“in one strike, the president has proved he can balance governance and
politics”.
The Prince of the Kalabari
kingdom encouraged the nominees to put in their best, and push for excellence.
“I am really impressed with the quality of the list and I am confident that
they will perform” Princewill said.
The list has the likes of
General Aliyu Gusau Mohamed (rtd) from Zamfara State, who retired as a Lieutenant
General. As an intelligence expert, Gen Gusau held all the exalted security
positions in the land, from Chief of Army Staff to National Security Adviser.
This has stamped his legacy in the defense unit of our country. Also on the
list is Senator Musiliu Obanikoro from Lagos State, who as senator proposed
motions that affected the lives of many Nigerians. From bills that checkmated
the overflow of the Atlantic Ocean in Lagos and the condition of the Abuja
Stadium to resolving the clash between men of the Nigerian Police Force and
Nigerian Army in the west; Obanikoro has made his mark. Dr T. W. Danagogo from
Rivers State has served the people in various capacities. From Local Government
Chairman to Commissioner of a complicated ministry, Dr Danagogo has delivered
on all counts especially in how he handled his final days in office with
Amaechi.
“The Kalabari Kingdom needed
a boost after Soku and the loss of Ajumogobia. I suspect this is the first step
to resolving Soku. An issue which our people take very seriously”, the Prince
highlighted.
Prince Tonye Princewill cheerd
existing ministers to keep up the good work and aid the President move the
country forward. He also urged them to welcome the new ministers with open arms
and together form a team of winners. “I am particularly impressed with the
women in Mr. President’s cabinet. The Petroleum and Finance ministers both
deserve a pat on the back”. “2014 will be an interesting year, but the synergy
between the incoming and existing ministers should be top of the agenda. The
President’s return in 2015 is hinged on their performance and they cannot
afford to fail”, Princewill said.
