Barring any last-minute change, President Bola Tinubu will, today, send the list of ministerial nominees to the Senate for screening and confirmation, LN247 has learned.
Top on the list for screening is the immediate past Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufia, current Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications, and Strategy, Dele Alake, former governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola, Wale Edun, and immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, Adebayo Adelabu, and Beta Edu. Names will be submitted today. Adelabu was the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, while Edu was Commissioner for Health in Cross River State and National Woman Leader of APC.
Different purported ministerial lists have been in circulation as the President kept Nigerians guessing.
LN247 has learned that former governors, technocrats, and professionals are on the list. It was further gathered that to form a government of national unity, as speculated in some quarters, the President will accommodate some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Recall that President Tinubu took the oath of office on May 29, when former President Muhammadu Buhari handed over the mantle of leadership to him and was expected to form his cabinet within 60 days of resuming office, in accordance with the constitution.
