“It Took Buhari 6 Months To Appoint An Academically Weak Finance Minister”

Omokri has said that Nigeria’s finance minister, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, is inexperienced and holds just a degree from a poorly ranked university in London.

“With all due respect, Kemi Adeosun cannot be able to pullout the economic magic that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala will pullout,” Omokri said in video on his Facebook page.

“For example, the President took about six months to set a cabinet after which he replaced Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala with Kemi Adeosun who has a bachelor degree in economics from the University of East London. I schooled in London and I know that the University is not a really well ranked university.”

“Moreso this is someone who has just a degree in economics and post graduate diploma which is not as high as bachelors.”

“Now you had someone who has a PHD in regional and economic development and worked as a Managing Director at the World Bank and also a former Minister of Finance replaced by Kemi who I have nothing against in a difficult period like this. You need to put your best hands.”

“She is a very nice woman but as a leader, you have to be unsentimental and take hard decisions. Nigeria is in recession and we need our best hands.”

“It doesn’t matter if they are PDP or APC, they don’t have to be politicians as long as they are the best hands, bring them on to help you achieve what you can`t do by yourself.”

“If we keep looking at who to blame, we will not be able to solve the present recession and fix it in the shortest possible time. Therefore it is very important we look beyond blame and try to resolve this recession.”

“Rotimi Ameachi for example, goes on air and wants us to believe the most hideous allegation on the former 1st family. He doesn’t mind that these allegations unproven and now out of the blue one Justices of the Supreme Court has come out to accuse him and He is saying it’s a lie.”

Buhari should “Not seek the best that APC has to offer but seek the best that Nigerians have to offer,” Omokri advised.
