President Tinubu's ministerial list: APC governors in fresh permutation

Governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been reported to be planning to nominate three persons each from their respective states as prospective ministers for President Bola Tinubu.

Vanguard, in a report, disclosed that there are indications that the ministerial list may be submitted to the Senate in July so ministers can emerge.

Following the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly on Tuesday, June 13, many Nigerians are eager to see who will make up the president's cabinet to fast-track the governance process.

Unlike former President Muhammadu Buhari, who took six months before constituting a cabinet, many Nigerians believe President Tinubu's case would be different, having made some economic decisions in the early stage of his administration.

Recall that the president released a list of eight special advisers after he had secured the approval of the Senate.

It is likely that in the president's ministerial list, governors will have an input in the APC-governed states, while the failed governorship candidates or party leaders in non-APC states will make inputs.

At the weekend, it was learned that it might have been requested that the AC governors submit three names for ministerial positions, in which the president will pick one.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the APC national working committee (NWC) has commented on the claim that the party will have some influence on the ministerial list of President Bola Tinubu.

Members of the committee who spoke in separate interviews said the party would not influence the list.

Bala Ibrahim and Nze Chidi Duru, the Director of Publicity for the party and the APC Deputy National Organising Secretary, maintained that the ministerial list is at the president's prerogative.
