BREAKING: Buhari’s 21 Ministerial Nominees Revealed

 

The long-awaited ministerial list which was

submitted to the Senate upon its resumption

from the six-week summer recess has finally

been revealed in full.

According to Sahara Reporters report, the 21-

member President Muhammadu Buhari’s

ministerial nominees submitted to the

National Assembly yesterday are as follows:

1. Dr Chris Ngige (Anambra)

2. Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti)

3. Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers)

Naij.com cannot independently confirm the

authenticity of this list.

 

There had however been reports that the trio

of Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi and

Kayode Fayemi during the screening with the

security agency were disqualified on the

ground that they had some issues relating to

financial misappropriation.

Following the apprehension that trailed the

long delay in the release of the ministerial list,

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday,

October 1, had confirmed to Nigerians that he

submitted the first set of the ministerial

nominees he would want in his cabinet to the

Senate for confirmation.

According to a top presidency source, a last

minute change by President Buhari favoured

the former governor of Anambra state, Chris

Ngige, whose name came in at the eleventh

hour.

The inclusion of Ngige was to dispel the

notion that the current administration is

marginalising South-easterners on the basis

that they did not support the presidency

during the last general election.
