Tinubu Sends Fresh Ministerial Nominees List To Senate

President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday transmitted the list containing the second batch of ministerial nominees to the senate which was submitted through Femi Gbajabiamila, Tinubu’s Chief of Staff.

The Leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, Ekiti-APC, raised “a point of order to allow a stranger approach the chamber” which was seconded by the Minority Leader, Simon Mwadwon, PDP, Plateau.

At exactly 03:18, Gbajabiamila walked into the chamber to hand over the list to Akpabio.

The list contains nominees from the remaining states of Adamawa, Bayelsa, Gombe, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Lagos, Plateau, Osun, Yobe and Zamfara.

It is unclear the number of names on the second list as Senate President Godswill Akpabio is yet to unveil it.

Recall that Tinubu had sent a list of 28 ministers on Thursday, with the promise to send another batch.

The list submitted to the Senate last week includes:

Abubakar Momoh

Yusuf Maitama Tukur

Ahmad Dangiwa

Hannatu Musawa

Uche Nnaji

Betta Edu

Dr. Diris Anite Uzoka
