The Senate President Bukola Saraki has finally unveiled the much awaited ministerial list
submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari for screening.
Notable amongst the names are; Abubakar Malami, (former Legal Adviser, Congress for
Progressive Change), Abdulrahman Dambazzau (former Chief of Army Staff), Lai
Mohammed, former Lagos Governor, Raji Fashola, Adebayo Shittu, Sunday Lalong, Chris
Ngige (former Anambra Governor), Rotimi Amaechi (former Rivers Governor).
Other names on the list are Audu Ogbe, Kayode Fayemi (former Ekiti Governor)
Emmanuel Kachiku, Sulaiman Adamu, Ibrahim Usman, Udoma Udoma and Ibrahim Jibril,
Ahmed Musa Ibeto, Aishat Alhassan.
A source has disclosed the particular portfolios for the Ministers, while coming to the
defence of controversial names in the reckoning including Amaechi, Fashola and
Mohammed.
The former Lagos governor is barely recovering from the heavy controversy surrounding
an extravagant website scandal totaling a whopping a N78 million, and an immensely
inflated borehole project that cost N139m to sink two.
The heavy debt he left for his successor Akinwunmi Ambode has not left public
discourse either, with many people within the All Progressives Congress, APC, tagging
him as “corrupt.”
Although our highly placed source could not tell Post Nigeria what qualifies the embattled ex-Governor for the position, he said he was a worthy addition.
Amaechi has accompanied the President on all defence minded visits abroad, gauging the perception of representatives of foreign governments on how we can solve our security issues, including kidnappings.
On Fashola, our source who looked livid, asked: “Have you seen the Lagos books? Have you seen how much the man raised in revenue in Lagos?
“Who else can come to the job with the political will required to aid Nigeria out of this
economic downtime?”
On the former Anambra Governor our source gushed: “Ngige is also a man with political will and know how, the leader of the APC from the S/East, a man under whose watch in his State, saw ten Anambrians become leading transport company owners nationwide.
“The transport sector, air, land , sea or any other one the man may even invent, will hugely benefit from Ngige’s input!”
More later…
