Cleric urges Nigerians to stop calling Buhari ‘Baba Go Slow’

Ibadan – A Cleric, Moses Kasali, has called on Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari over the delay in constituting his cabinet.

He made the call on Saturday while addressing the congregation at the auditorium of the ministry in Ibadan.

Kasali, Head, Mercy of Prayer Ministry, Ibadan, was optimistic that the President would choose members of his cabinet within the first 100 days of his administration.

He also urged Nigerians to avoid calling the President ‘Baba Go Slow’ for not constituting his cabinet almost two months after his inauguration.

He said that Buhari was studying the situation to ensure appointment of competent and reliable hands into key ministries and parastatals.

Kasali said the wrangling in the two chambers of the National Assembly was a carryover of the old order.

Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865. (VANGUARD BOOK p 62).

Moses scores as Chelsea beat PSG

Thibaut Courtois was the hero in Charlotte, scoring the winning penalty and saving two of PSG’s in the shoot-out following an exciting 1-1 draw in normal time.

The goalkeeper kept out spot-kicks from Jean-Christophe Bahebeck and Thiago Silva before blasting the 14th and final penalty into the top corner, handing the English Champions the victory against the French champions.

In normal time it was Victor Moses who cancelled out Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s opener. The Swede fired home a rebound midway through a first half mostly dominated by the Parisians.
