At last, Senate President Bukola
Saraki Wednesday received the
first twenty – one names of nominees to make President
Buhari ministerial list , just as the names would be forwarded in
batches.Vanguard gathered that a former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi
and his counterpart in Lagos, Babatunde Fashola were among the names
forwarded to the senate.
Also said to be on the list are Kayode Fayemi, a former governor of
Ekiti State; a former Governor of Anambra State, Chris Ngige; and a
one-time Governor of Abia State, Ogbonaya Onu; Amina Mohammed; A former
commissioner of Ogun State, Kunle Adeosun; Malami Abubakar (SAN) and the
Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation,
Ibe Kachikwu
Kachikwu’s appointment as Vanguard reported yesterday, will be to
function as the junior minister taking charge of day-to-day affairs in
the sector while Buhari oversees it as stated by him at the New York on
Tuesday, while attending the UN General Assembly, that he, Buhari would
be minister of petroleum resources.
A source told Vanguard that instead of thirty – six names, President
Buhari sent twenty – one names as Ministerial nominees to the Senate
President, with plans to send others very early on Tuesday before
plenary session.
Senate President Saraki received the long awaited ministerial list from the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari at 4.59 pm.
The Chief of Staff to the President was accompanied to Saraki’s
office by the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly
Matters, Senator Ita Enang.
There was a new twist to the submission of Ministerial list to the
Senate as it was received directly by the Senate President and brought
by the Chief of Staff to the President as against the tradition where
the office of the Senate President through the registry receives it from
the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matter(
