Senator Shehu Sani has applauded President Bola Tinubu for his ministerial list and portfolios he released on Wednesday, August 16.

According to the former Senator, the list presented by Tinubu is more balanced and fairer than that of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

He made this known on his Twitter page on Thursday, August 17.

"Reactions continue to trail the portfolios of the ministers. I have read where some people think that the list favoured the South West. I don’t think so. The list is much more balanced and fairer than that of Buhari. The issue is more about the peg & the hole and not crude nepotism."
