'He wants to fully settle his political allies' - Source on why President Tinubu hasn't moved to his official residence

A source within the presidency who spoke to Business Day has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu is yet to his official residence because he wants to settle his political allies.

“You know that the president is a politician and he has lived amongst his people all along, many of his friends will be cut off from him the moment he moves into the villa, by the security operatives,” Business Day is quoted.

“We are sure that as soon as the issue of his ministers is settled and the case at the tribunal done with, he will move into the Villa, by then, he would have taken care of a lot of things," he said.

This was contained in a report by Business Day which revealed that President Tinubu will submit his list of cabinet ministers to the National Assembly today, July 20(today).

According to the online platform, the list is ready to be submitted as nominees have completed preliminary security checks.

The source subsequently blamed the delay on the internal wrangling that has plagued the party over the last week.

Although the list of ministerial nominees is yet to be made public, notable former governors, including Nyesom Wike, Atiku Bagudu, and Aminu Masari are rumored to be among the nominees.

Business Day gathered that the exit of Abdullahi Adamu, the former APC national chairman, may alter the original list, with Masari rumored to take over the chairmanship of the party.

Masari, a former governor of Katsina State, who also previously served as speaker of the House of Representatives, is being considered for the job because of his experience, BusinessDay gathered on Thursday.
