The duo visited the
Villa when expectations were high that President Buhari would soon make his
ministerial list public according to report.
Former Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Professor Charles Soludo, and former Governor of
Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, were yesterday sighted at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja, filling visitors’ forms on their way to the office of Alhaji Abba Kyari,
Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Soludo entered the Chief of
Staff’s office around 5:30p.m followed by Fayemi about 30 minutes later.
The President had
repeatedly assured Nigerians that he will form his cabinet before the end of
this month.
Soludo, who was the CBN
governor during the administrations of Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and late
Umar Yar’Adua, was critical of the immediate past government of former
President, Goodluck Jonathan, on the financial management and the handling of
the economy, which he said was brutally raped.
Fayemi was the Director of
Policy, Research and Strategy in All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential
campaign organization.
Many believed that Soludo’s
critical outbursts on the eve of the presidential election in March helped to
sway sympathy and votes for President Buhari even as the former CBN governor,
in an interview with an online media, Premium Times, on June 7, said he was not
prepared to work for the government, saying he was preoccupied with other
engagements
He had said: “Nigerians and
their rumours! I am glad you said they are rumours and such rumours are normal.
