As earlier promised by President Muhammadu Buhari, he will unveil list of his Ministers between Tuesday and Wednesday this week, to kick start their screening by the Senate as prescribed by the law.
Naijaballers.com gathered that some of the names who were dropped initially due to allegations have now been included and President Buhari has warned them to stay clear of financial scandals.
The names of top politicians on the list are:
Kayode Fayemi
Rotimi Amaechi
Abdul Danbazzau
Oby Ezekwesili
Pat Utomi, etc.
The special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina confirmed in New York last weekend that the list of ministerial nominees will be made public on Wednesday.
Adesina noted that Buhari is a man of his word who would not renege on his promise to Nigerians that he would announce members of his cabinet this September.
The Senate is billed to resume sitting tomorrow after seven weeks of recess. A top presidency official said that the list and a covering note from the president is likely to be read on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday or Wednesday.
But following Buhari unshakable stance that people with questionable character as ministers would not make the list of his ministers, there is a growing anxiety as to content of the list both within and outside the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
Will former Lagos governor, Babatunde Fashola eventually make the list? We are watching!
