President Tinubu's Minister of Finance is likely to come from Lagos - Source

President Bola Tinubu's next Minister of Finance will be nominated from Lagos State according to Lagos-based lawyer, Wale Adeagbo in an exclusive chat with Legit.ng.

According to Adeagbo, he gathered intel that Nigeria's finance minister will come from the state.

"The minister of finance is likely going to be from Lagos," he said.

He added: "A very powerful Chieftain (of the APC) from Ikorodu disclosed so."

President Tinubu is expected to forward the names of his ministerial nominees to the Senate on or before July 28, when he will be completing his 60 days in office.

It was reported that some bigwigs in the All Progressives Congress (APC) are already jostling for ministerial appointments in President Tinubu's administration.

The bigwigs, including former governors, ex-ministers, and other chieftains of the APC, were said to have stormed the personal residence of the president in Bourdillon in Lagos when Tinubu was on Eid-Il-Adha's holiday for four days.

President Tinubu had earlier revealed a plan to have a government of unity where opposition party chieftains would be given some ministerial slots.

Many political pundits have shared different opinions on the president's plan; while some warned Tinubu against the move, others welcomed the development, noting that competence matters.
