presidential elections have turned the political structures of
the PDP on its head in a manner that marveled many within
the country. However, the uncertainties surrounding the
staffing of the incoming Buhari administration appears to
pose a more intriguing scenario.
This is as sources say the horse trading for the sensitive
ministerial positions within the Buhari administration has
already commenced.Ex-CBN Governor, Charles Soludo is
said to have been presented by President Olusegun
Obasanjo as the new Minister of Finance for the Buhari
administration. But some APC big men are not happy
Soludo had served as a member of the economic team for
the Obasanjo administration prior to becoming the
governor of the CBN.Soludo’s presentation to the incoming
administration as the likely minister of finance is reported
to have raised eyebrows within the inner circles of the APC –
who explained that Soludo remains a card carrying member
of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, a party that
hates the APC with passion. They complained that Soludo
cannot be allowed to reap where he did not sow. But
Soludo is not really an APGA man, he only went to Anambra
to contest governorship election and has since left.It is also
believed that APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is
not comfortable with Soludo but since he has a lot of
respect for Obasanjo, he is open to further discussion
ahead of May 29.
