Former Kaduna State Governor Nasiru El-Rufai, his Rivers State counterpart Nyesom Wike and eminent medical scholar Ali Pate are on the list of ministerial nominees forwarded to the Senate by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it was learnt this morning.

Also nominated for cabinet positions are legal luminary Lateef Fagbemi (SAN); an economist Olawale Edun, banker Adebayo Adelabu, former Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, All Progressives Congress (APC) Women Leader Mrs. Betta Edu, Senator Ben Ayade and eminent journalist Dele Alake, who is currently the Special Adviser on Media, Strategy and Special Duties.

A Senate source said the President forwarded the list to Senate President Godswill Akpabio this morning, in line with the constitutional provision that the list should get to the National Assembly within 60 days after the presidential inauguration.

The deadline expires this weekend.

However, the source could not confirm whether the list had portfolios. He could not also confirm the number of nominees.

However, the source said the list reflected the national character and outlook of the President and the ruling party.

President Tinubu had hinted about setting up a government of inclusion and competence after assuming the reins.

He said experienced ministers will drive his ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda in the national interest.


Despite keeping the list to his chest, it was gathered that it was drawn following wider consultations with members of the ruling APC National Caucus, the Progressive Governors’ Forum, other top party leaders and relevant stakeholders.

Indeed, prominent party leaders close to the President emphasised the need to nominate patriotic, committed and experienced persons without baggage.

Coming from the Nation Newspaper,I tend to believe it except something else changes before the list is read out this morning in the Senate.

Told some people Elrufai is serving in Tinubu's administration they said otherwise

Elrufai can't just go sleeping for 4years. Alaye loves power that much

Elrufai as minister.

Ganduje as APC Chairman

Lobatan!



P.S. As for Oyo, someone that called himself folarin. His political career just ended.

Adelabu as minister from Oyo is to prepare him as Gubernatorial candidate in the 2027 election

President tinubu doings

The nation newspaper!

Very wrong. Ali Pate, Wale Edun, Adebayo Adelabu, Lateef Fagbemi, Beta Edu etc are all seasoned technocrats who have done extremely well in the private sector. They are not crooked liar like Peter Obi.

They will bring their wealth of experience to help rescue the economy of the country.

Same old corrupt rogues with a little bit of technocrats.
Why's my political crush Babatunde Fashola not in the list?

If it true.

Same faces
Same persons
Same looters
Some tyrants
Some bigots
I expect same results
