As a young person, what the new #BuhariCabinet is telling me is, we still choose familiarization over competence. So Fashola, Adamu Adamu, Chris Ngige and Mr President the Petroleum minister succeeded in their previous portfolio? #MinistersInauguration pic.twitter.com/CeRqkds9yy

What did Adamu Adamu achieve in the last 4 years for him to be retained as Minister of Education? What radical educational policies did he introduce at the basic level or for tertiary education? Why not entrust that VERY IMPORTANT SECTOR to someone else?

Why make Keyamo a junior Minister to watch over Akpabio?

Keyamo needs to be in the Ministry of Justice! Not Niger Delta!!#BuhariCabinet

This is a complete list of incompetency. There's nothing to expect from these combinations. Sylva ministry of petroleum? How? As as how na? What's his experience or qualifications? God please wipe out this set of Nigerian leaders. Amen #BuhariCabinet pic.twitter.com/VuBq1UAXt4

Festus Keyamo said he would Unbundle the Supreme Court during his ministerial screening by the Senate. Obviously, the cabal think that's exuberant. So, they shipped him to be Minister of State for Niger Delta, to pacify regional agitations with constitutionality.#BuhariCabinet

Sunday Dare displayed a impressive knowledge of IT during the ministerial screening. No record in his CV show sports participation. So PMB made him minister of youths and sports. Reminds me of when Omar Baba 👇gave an amputee a Christian Louboutin shoes. #BuhariCabinet pic.twitter.com/RCVvmDoo1f

Sunday Dare would have been left in communication. He did well during the ministerial screening. His knowledge about communication is top notch. Guess what, he was assigned Minister of Sport/youth development.#BuhariCabinet

Adamu Adamu still made it to the Ministry of Education, Chris Ngige still made it to Labour and Employment Ministry and Mohammed Bello still made it to FCT.

Buhari doesn't even gauge public opinion. He is so aloof. #MinisterialInauguration #BuhariCabinet

Why replace a man with 4 Years' experience with a man who does not understand the problem of the sector?

Babatunde Fashola said funds were a major setback, now that you've injected 600 Billion into the sector, why replace the man who understands the problems?

Buhari maintaining Petroleum Ministry shows one thing – his pry interest is the cookie jar. His priority is the money, not development. Else, he'll have chosen to be Minister of Health, Education, Power or Security to show urgency.

Next level will change nothing. #BuhariCabinet

The #BuhariCabinet is made of no youth, yet he promised in this #NextLevelCabinet that the youths will be included and they started fighting everybody #whyisthat pic.twitter.com/nlw07AWICs
