Keyamo To Buhari: Nominating A Minister Of State Is Unconstitutional
Festus Keyamo, SAN, the departing minister of state for labor and employment, informed President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday that the appointment of a minister of state was an anomaly.
This was said by Keyamo in his remarks at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) farewell meeting, which was held in the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa in Abuja, and presided over by President Buhari.
The Minister of State added that some other ministers of state had been complaining and unable to be courageous and speak up, and thanked President Buhari for enhancing his resume by appointing him.
Since the discretion of the ministers of state was constrained by that of the ministers, he claimed it would be challenging to evaluate each minister of state's individual performance because any original ideas they developed had to be approved by a different cabinet member before they could be considered by the council.
He wrote: "Mr President, you first appointed me as Minister of State in the Ministry Niger Delta Affairs in August 2019 and you later redeployed me as Minister of State in the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
"Today, I cannot find the words to express the depth of my gratitude to you for finding me worthy, out of over two hundred million Nigerians, to be nominated and subsequently appointed to serve as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. My curriculum vitae has been greatly enhanced - forever.
"From my very humble beginnings in a small dusty town in Delta State where I was born and raised by my struggling parents, all the way to the Council Chambers at the Presidential Villa where ! had the honour and privilege to participate weekly in decision-making for my country in the last four years, it has been like a fairy tale. give God all the glory."
