- Senate leader: President’s list ready tomorrow
The shape of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet became clearer last night.
It was gathered that no fewer than four former governors will be nominated. Two of them are from the Northwest, the others from Southsouth and Southwest geo-political zones.
A prominent Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who is from Northcentral, tops the pack of technocrats being considered by the President.
These include top bankers, economists, health professionals and experts in other areas of endeavour.
Former senators, professional women and politicians are also among the President’s men and women.
Some among the 10 special advisers to the President will be nominated as ministers, it was learnt.
In the same vein, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele said yesterday that President Tinubu’s ministerial list will get to the Senate tomorrow.
Bamidele (Ekiti Central) said the president had decided to spend some time in the last 48 hours to tinker with the list.
He spoke in Abuja during a lecture and book presentation to mark his 60th birthday.
The lecture was delivered by the immediate-past Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) Prof. Toyin Ogundipe.
President Tinubu had accepted to be the father of the day but later called to say that he could not attend because he was putting the finishing touches to the ministerial list.
