Tinubu’s deadline is almost up, replaces 4 names on the ministerial list

Four days before the expiration of the 60-day provision for the President to submit names of ministerial nominees to the Senate for screening and confirmation, President Bola Tinubu is yet to fulfill this constitutional provision.

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. Multiple sources in the Senate told Vanguard weekend that the upper legislative chamber is yet to receive the final list of the ministerial nominees.

 Sources at the presidency had last week hinted that the list was ready, but that a few adjustments were being made by the President. One of the sources disclosed that four names initially penciled down by the President in four states, have been withdrawn and replaced with new names.
