One is much perturbed that President Muhammadu Buhari has elected to run the Ministry of Petroleum Resources. Why do we do the same things that take us no where? This only suggests that he does not have a full grasp of the import and magnitude of the office he holds. If PMB has the time, energy and brilliance to add another office to his High Office, it should be Agric and Rural Development. If he understands the new strategic direction of the economy, he must make agric the new crude oil.
But there is absolutely nothing Buhari would offer in any ministry that another Nigerian somewhere would not do better. His job is to find that man or woman and put him there. His job is to supervise and supervise and supervise.
Unless like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he needs to take care of himself, this is a huge distraction. He must help us by shedding his superman syndrome. He should help rebuild our systems across board so they can run well irrespective of personality.
