Ministerial List
There had however been reports that the trio of Babatunde
Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi and Kayode Fayemi during the screening with the
security agency were disqualified on the ground that they had some issues
relating to financial misappropriation.
Following the
apprehension that trailed the long delay in the release of the ministerial
list, President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, October 1, hadconfirmed to Nigerians that he
submitted the first set of the ministerial nominees he would want in his cabinet
to the Senate for confirmation.
According to a top
presidency source, a last minute change by
President Buhari favoured the former governor of Anambra state, Chris Ngige,
whose name came in at the eleventh hour.
The inclusion of Ngige was to dispel the notion that the current
administration is marginalising South-easterners on the basis that they did not
support the presidency during the last general election.
