President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2nd list of ministerial nominees got to the Senate on Monday. The identities of the nominees were shrouded in secrecy over what sources attributed to angst in the Presidency over the leakage of the first list to the media before it was officially confirmed.
Dependable sources said prominent names on the second list are:
Former Chairman of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, Barr Mohammed Bello (Adamawa); former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola (Osun); former Chairman of the National Population Commission, Chief Festus Odimegwu (Imo); former National President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, (Ondo); former spokesman of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, Osita Okechukwu (Enugu); and former ANPP governorship candidate in Abia, Ikechi Emenike (Abia).
Others are Dan Ali, a brigadier-general who was retired in 2013; Okechukwu Enelamah, the CEO of African Capital Alliance; Claudius Omoyele Daramola, a professor of sociology of education, from Ondo state; and Aisha Abubakar.
