‘Now, Mr President, let me say here that I will pre-judge your second term by the ministerial appointments you make after your inauguration.’

‘Mr President,I will now be straightforward: if you retain certain ministers, I will finally give up on your government.’ @simonkolawole
I am told more than half of your cabinet will be re-appointed.I hope this is a joke, Mr President. Tell me it’s a joke,Mr President. Assure me,Mr President, that this is a joke.This is a cabinet u should have dissolved years ago!How on earth would they be retained?@simonkolawole
Mr President,if u appoint election losers as ministers,then I will surrender. One of them is Senator Ajimobi, the “constituted authority” in Oyo state who lost his bid to return to the senate after spending eight years as governor.Tell me he is not on your list.
~ @simonkolawole
Mr President. Of course, we know Alhaji Adebayo Shittu will not return as minister. Or will he? No, Mr President, you won’t do that to Nigeria.

I hope never to see Solomon Dalung at FEC meetings again, and this has nothing to do with his beret. ~ @simonkolawole

@CACCOT1
I cannot believe that u have never appointed an advanced and experienced economist as minister since you came to office.I just cannot believe it — not at a time of our worst economic crisis in decades.

There are some ministerial slots you cannot afford to joke with. I list them: finance, education, health, defence, petroleum, power, attorney-general, works and interior. Long after you have left the stage, those are the things Nigerians will remember you for.
~ @simonkolawole
Finally, Mr President,u must now take your cabinet more seriously. Your “non interference” philosophy, which u take as a strength,is actually a weakness. It is your govt. You cannot afford to be aloof! It would make sense if you fire ministers once in a while.
~ @simonkolawole
Lest I forget,Mr President,can we have a new way of doing things at the federal executive council?All I hear every Wednesday is that a contract has been awarded.That is a bit disgusting. Governance is serious business.
