With Abba Kyari’s re-appointment, I guess we should be expecting recycling of old and tested names as the next cabinet.

So all that lobbying by Tunde Bakare, Amaechi and Elrufai didn't work…..

Abba Kyari and Boss Mustapha will be angry with them…

You worked with Abba Kyari for over 3 years, got convinced that you were satisfied with his work, won election 2 months before inauguration, yet it took you well over 1 month AFTER inauguration to announce his reappointment as your Chief of Saff.

Oh Presido!

A lesson for those APC Group, who campaigned for Buhari reelection. They asked that Abba Kyari, etc, should not be reappointed, using their words, "this time is no more monkey de work baboon de chop". You now realize your Buhari is not a leader but a dictator. A leader listens. https://t.co/IuGmTPq5rz

Abba Kyari is back. Boss Mustapha is back. Now wait for the same failed Ministers who served the failed Govt of Buhari from 2015. Nothing would ever change. It is same ol, same ol!

Two names stood out of the 11.

North – 9
South – 2

Mind you we didn't add Kyari and Boss Mustapha.. That will be annihilation if done!
