A public affairs analyst, Adebola Soetan, on Thursday surported the sack of nine ministers who were recently sacked by President Goodluck Jonathan because they didn’t “stand out” and were also nominated by godfathers who have now rebelled against the President.

Speaking on Sunrise Daily, he said “I don’t lose my sleep” because thousands of Nigerian professionals lose their jobs on a daily basis.

The cabinet shake up which seemed to catch the affected ministers unawares did not surprise Mr Soetan who said that the process of their selection into their various offices was not credible.

“I look at the ministers in Nigeria as human products or human commodities for patronage and appeasement,” adding that their appointment is not based on “any concrete professionalism, passion or vision.”

Those who cannot fight their governors, or godfathers (who appointed, nominated them for positions), would have to go since there is a crisis in the PDP, he said.

Although, he stated that it is the President’s constitutional right to hire and fire, many ex-ministers were nominated by godfathers. He cited an example of the former education minister, Ruqayat Rufai, whom he credited Governor Lamido for nominating.

He said the ministers who were nominated by rebellious governors in the PDP should have quit before they were booted out of the cabinet.

None of the current ministers have done exemplary jobs because “they were manufactured, not for a vision, but for appeasement”.
