| Prof. Tam David-West |
Professor Tamunoemi Sokari David-West popularly known as Tam David-West, is a Nigerian academic, social critic, and former federal minister of petroleum and energy under General Muhammadu Buhari (1984–1985), and as minister of mines, power, and steel under General Ibrahim Babangida (1986).
He was eventually removed as minister and arrested by the Babangida regime for allegedly contributing to the economic adversity of the country;
He was discharged and acquitted of these charges by Nigeria's Special Appeal Court on 8 August 1991.
Professor Tam David-West was a notable force during the electioneering of Buhari-APC campaign for change.
During the build up, he made a very popular calculations that went viral.
That petrol will be sold at N40 per litre if All Progressives Congress (APC) wins the general election.
Though his non-inclusion in the present APC-led government by the incumbent President, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) is still a rude shock to many people like me.
Going by his vast experience and articulation. But has he lost his activism and voice since he didn’t make up the cabinet?
We Nigerians need his analysis and contribution on the present happenings as to the state of the nation.
Should we say his most publicised analysis a ruse?????
