There are impeccable indications that one of Adamu Adamu (outgone Education Minister), Retired Col. Hameed Ali (current Custom Boss) and Babatunde Raji Fashola (outgone Works, Housing and Power Minister) will emerge President Buhari's Chief Of Staff.
The Office of the CoS and key ministerial appointments have become subject of intense lobbying, intrigues and horse trading among friends and family members of Buhari, Sunday INDEPENDENT reports.
According to the newspaper, it became apparent after the president made plain that he intends to effect sweeping changes in the next four years.
Even more, there are those who say that Buhari might not have been impassive about the cabinet composition which appeared lopsided with the bulk of his key men coming from his geographical zone and religion.
The president, earlier in April had made a short trip out of the country to UK ostensibly on a private visit. INDEPENDENT reported that before the trip was made public, President Buhari had the trip in order to consider reports on his ministers and to consider possible candidates for his second term.
According to presidency sources, Mr President came to the realisation that unless a clean sweep is made of his kitchen cabinet made up principally of his close relatives no federal cabinet can function well.
“Unknown to many, President Buhari follows up on many of those complaints made about his principal staff like Abba Kyari (chief of staff). It will be by an extremely weird circumstance that he will make it back into his cabinet,” a credible presidency source was quoted as saying.
