As president Muhammadu buhari form a new cabinet, more facts and information about nominations has leaked on Friday.
Mouthpiece NG recalls that the president, through his special assistant on media, Femi Adesina, said that Buhari, as a loyal party man would make provision for his party’s recommendations but would personally take definite decisions as to who gets what portfolio in the Federal Executive Council.
Governors are expected to nominate those who should be Ministers from their states. However, Some of the criteria to be considered before submitting such names are party loyalty and competence.
With the recent development in some states, the governors may not be qualified to submit names for nomination.
Some powerful politicians have hijacked the party structure from the Governors, who are supposed to be the party leader in their states.
As tension mounts over the list being compiled, two Governors are said to be at “worse loss”.
Governors Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state and Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state have been said to be blocked.
It was gathered that a cabal in Aso-Rock has blocked all moves by the governors to influence those should be appointed in their states.
A source said: “Some of these governors still do not understand Buhari’s style. I know three of them whose gestures have been rejected. I can confirm to you that no one knows the content of the list yet. But we have letters already blocked and some rejected on the subject matter.”
