President Goodluck Jonathan has sent the list of
seven ministerial nominees to the National
Assembly for approval.
The Nigerian Television Authority confirmed this
on its Twitter handle @NTANewsNow on Friday.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that former Minister of
State Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, who resigned
his position in October 2014 to pursue a
governorship ambition in Lagos State which he lost
to Jimi Agbaja made the list.
Kenneth Kobani from Rivers State and Senator
Patricia Akwashiki from Nasarawa State were also
said to be among the nominees.
However, when one of our correspondents
contacted the Senate, it said it had yet to receive
the list of new ministerial nominees which
according to breaking news monitored on the NTA
and the African Independent Television, was sent
to the upper chamber by President Goodluck
Jonathan on Friday.
A civil servant, who works in the senate
president’s office told our correspondent that the
list had not been brought in as of 3:30pm when the
office closed officially on Friday.
The officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorised to speak to
journalists, said, “We have just closed in the office
now and we did not receive any correspondence to
that effect.”
Also, the Chief Press Secretary to the senate
president, Mr. Paul Mumeh, when contacted, said
he was not aware of the list.
Mumeh said, “Honestly, I am not aware that the list
had been sent to the Senate President’s office.”
A principal officer of the Senate, who also pleaded
anonymity, said, “I am not aware of any list like
that. But you know we are still on break.”
Meanwhile, it is not likely that the Senate would
take any action on the list until February 17, after
the presidential election, when the senators are
expected to resume from the general election’s
break.
