Ministerial inauguration: reactions trail the assignment of portfolios.

President Muhammadu Buhari, had earlier today, August 21, 2019, assigned portfolios to all the 43 ministers appointed for his second tenure in office. 

The president read out the portfolios while delivering his speech at the Swearing-In Ceremony in the State House, Abuja.  

As expected, the portfolios has attracted mixed and diverse reactions from Nigerians on the social media space. While some are happy with some of the appointments, others are critical of some of them especially with the portfolios that were assigned to some of them.

My WCW is the New Minister for Transportation (State) Gbemisola Saraki, younger sister to Bukola Saraki?

She is the female legislator with the highest number of sponsored bills in Nigeria & her humanitarian stance is rated as the biggest among elites in Kwara. #BuhariCabinet pic.twitter.com/yAG9IazJMe

Festus Keyamo said he would Unbundle the Supreme Court during his ministerial screening by the Senate. Obviously, the cabal think that’s exuberant. So, they shipped him to be Minister of State for Niger Delta, to pacify regional agitations with constitutionality.#BuhariCabinet

Raise your hand if you know for sure that Buhari and his 43-man #Nextlevel cabinet will not improve anything about Nigeria #buharicabinet

So someone would remove an Ibe Kachikwu and put a Timipre Sylva as Minister of State for Petroleum?
