When former President Olusegun Obasanjo while in office supervised that ministry for six years, was he called a petroleum minister? No, he was not,\u201d Adesina said.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1444726123285_3554\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1444726123285_3556\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1444726123285_3555\">\u201cThe president is going to supervise and maybe, he would have minister of state to work along with him. I dare say, he has all it takes to supervise that ministry having been oil minister for three and half years in the past. \u201cPresident Buhari would respect the constitution. And the constitution says ministers must be appointed from each state and that means there must be minimum of 36 ministers. He would respect that. \u201cThe president had said when the governors were appointing commissioners in their states, he never interfered, so he didn\u2019t expect them to interfere in the choice of his ministers. \u201cThat was the original position and then later, he came back to say when he had his list ready that he was going to run it by the governors, that is the position. I guess there must have been some consultations but it does not mean that the position of any government will be sacrosanct on the nominee.\u201d Adesina added that the age of the ministerial nominees does not matter to the president, saying:\u00a0\u201cThese people who have been nominated are qualified and are Nigerians. Talking of age, there is a saying that \u2018age does not matter. It does not mind, if you don\u2019t mind it.\u2019 I don\u2019t think that age is an issue. \u201cAnd talking of age, you should rather talk about mental and chronological age. If you have a chronological age of 30, which makes you a youth, and mental age is not at par, what do we gain? Nothing. \u201cAnd you may have a chronological age of 68, which is the age of the oldest of the nominees; if that nominee now has a mental age of 15 or 20, what do we gain? We must rather talk of the mental age rather than the chronological age. It is not the chronological age that matters as long as that person has what he is bringing to the table.\u201d \u201cGod himself is ageless, so you can\u2019t be talking of whether someone is old or not.\u201d Speaking on the women representation<\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President\u00a0Muhammadu Buhari does not have the intention to\u00a0be minister of petroleum, but he will\u00a0supervise the ministry.\u00a0 Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, who revealed this&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41794,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
