What will determines President Tinubu's ministerial list

Much talk has been on the individuals that will make the ministerial list. Political pundits have shared different views on the calibre of the people President Tinubu should appoint into his cabinet, particularly ministers.

Earlier on Sunday morning, it was revealed that reports from the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) would determine the type of individuals who will make the list.

According to the new law, President Tinubu must unveil his ministerial list and forward them to the national assembly for confirmation in his 60 days in office. Sunday made it 48 days since the President was sworn in.

But later in the day, the former presidential aide, Ogunlesi, disclosed that the ministerial list would be unveiled on any day in the new week.

Ogunlesi also disclosed that many people would be disappointed, adding that many states got one slot while some states got up to two.

"When the list is released, there will be rejoicing in many quarters, and there will also be wailing as well.

"Most States will have just one Minister, a handful will have two. That’s about it. Many folks will be disappointed."
