Ministers threatening fire and brimstone lack direction - Bwala

Daniel-Bwala

Former PDP presidential campaign spokesman, Daniel Bwala, says the new ministers threatening to rain fire and brimstone on stakeholders lack direction.

He stated this on Wednesday when he appeared on the Sunrise Daily show on Channels Television.

His criticism comes after the newly-appointed FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, threatened to demolish properties distorting the Abuja master plan.

Bwala observed that certain ministers' opening words suggested that they knew exactly what they were getting into.

"There are others; maybe they have an idea; we don't know, but their first speech with the Nigerian people is threatening fire and brimstone," he said.

"To us, we felt that somebody who does that probably does not have a firm grasp of the role he is going to play or an idea of where he is going.

"Sometimes, even if you do, priority also matters. If you have too many issues, you know which one comes first, which one comes second."

Bwala expressed his admiration for the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, commending his selection and performance during the screening process.

He cited Fagbemi's "stellar" core objective to ensure adherence to the rule of law, which, to the minister "simply means obeying rules and regulations and that the vision of Mr. President should key into the rule of law".

"For example, being a lawyer, the creed of our law practise is that every legal practitioner is to promote the rule of law, foster the course of justice, and not be engaged in any conduct that is unbecoming of a legal practitioner. That is striking."
