The buzz that was generated by the release of the ministerial
nominees from President Muhammadu Buhari has not died down as Nigerians have been reacting to the names on the list since it was made public.
The minsterial nominees list was finally made public today, October 6 by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
See copies of the letter below:
Saraki received the list last week which
was conveyed by Buhari’s chief of staff, Alhaji Abba Kyari and Sen. Ita
Enang, the senior special assistant to the president on National Assembly
matters (Senate).
The
original letter containing the names of those on the list was obtained by
Naij.com today. The letter, signed by the president, informed the senate
president that the names represent a partial list of minister due for screening
and approval by the senate.
Meanwhile, some senators have vowed that Buhari’s
ministerial list will meet serious opposition on the floor of the upper chamber
if it does not cover the 36 states of the federation.
At the weekend, chieftains of some opposition parties and
activists expressed their displeasure with the ministerial list which according
to them falls short of expectations. Some expressed doubt that the president
was committed to fighting corruption with the calibre of the people he intended
to appoint as ministers.
In a related development, some APC chieftains whose names are reportedly
on the ministerial have started lobbying senators so they can successfully
scale the screening process billed for Wednesday, October 7. Some others
are said to have gone spiritual, embarking on intensive prayer sessions to come
out unscathed aster the exercise.
