President Muhammadu Buhari has dropped former Rivers Governor, Rotimi Amaechi and his counterpart Bababtunde Fashola from running for ministerial positions as insinuations have emerged that their names are conspicuously missing from the list of nominees currently undergoing final screening by the Department of State Services, DSS.

Punch Newspaper confirmed on Sunday 13 September that those nominees already said to have been screened include a Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), a former Governor of Osun State, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, former Chief of Army, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazu (retd.), ex-chief executive of the Federal Inland Revenue, Ifueko Omoigui-Okaru .

Other names in the mix include former finance commissioner in Lagos State, Wale Edun and a former National Legal Adviser to the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

A top DSS operative, who also confided in the PUNCH, revealed the agency had conducted their verification process on the nominees, including their financial transactions and their records with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the police.

He hinted that the final report is set to be submitted to the President this week.

The two ex-governors were at the lead during Buhari’s “change campaign” that saw the APC Victorious in the March 28, 2015 presidential poll with Amaechi as a top financier working tirelessly as the Director General, DG, of Buhari’s campaign train, and had been pinned down as a suitable choice for the post of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF.

These links with Ministerial slots were altered at the dying minutes over growing fears from the Presidency that Amaechi would constitute a stumbling block to Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign and exhibit disloyalty to the APC leadership, prompting the appointment of Babachir David Lawal as the SGF. http://www.post-nigeria.com/ministerial-list-amaechi-fashola-missing/
