Mild surprises are being recorded at the ministerial inauguration going on in Abuja, with  President Muhammadu Buhari again clinging on to the Petroleum Ministry. There has been speculations this time that he may relinquish the position and hand it over to somebody from the core North. More surprisingly, however, was the appointment of Timipre Silver as the Minister of state for Petroleum.

With this, Silver replaces Ibe Kachukwu, whose tenure became tumultuous at the sunset of his occupancy of that position. It is not clear how Silver and Maikanti Baru, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National petroleum corporation, NNPC, could hit it off, but Abba Kyari is expected to act as a buffer.

That is not all. Former governor Godswill Akpabio is to head Niger Delta Ministry, while Festus Keyamo is to be a Junior Minister under him. With Ita Enang as the Senior Special Assistant to Buhari on Niger delta, the gloves may soon be off.

This has shattered the expectations of Keyamo who has been vigorously campaigning for the position of Attorney general. That portfolio was incontestably reserved for Abubakar Malami, the Lawyer that Buhari knows.
