ABUJA – Ahead of the swearing in of the ministerial nominees following their successful screening and confirmation by the senate last week, the Presidency has denied releasing any list that assigned portfolios to them.
The denial followed the speculated list of portfolios which made the rounds especially on social media on Sunday.
Responding to Vanguard on the issue, the Special Adviser to President Mohammadu Buhari, Mr. Femi Adesina said that the list did not emanate from the presidency as it was not officially signed.
“Any communication from the presidency must be officially singed. Was that list signed by me or Mr. Garba Shehu? Please, ignore it”, he said.
He also did not reveal when the inauguration ceremony of the Ministers would hold.

Ok

Alright

This government and their unnecessary mind games. What's taking so long in assigning portfolios? Nigerians aren't impressed with Buhari's governmtnt.

I will hit the ground running was the renowned statement made by GMB shortly before he became PMB.
But in reality, he crash landed, fainted and gradually sunk into coma before he was resuscitated again and again during those numerous oversea trips, now he is in gear1 crawling in his jalopy vehicle hoping to pick up speed.
This is the 6th month, no clear cut agenda yet.
Naija we hail thee.

isokay

I don hear

always on the denial side

I think there are people running media houses in this Govt. Every move by the president always leaked to the press. This guy is denying the list now and yet when it is officially made public you will still see the same portfolios.
I sincerely pity PMB because i am feeling this era has gone past this old man capabilities.
God help our president to pilot the affairs our great nation in the right direction.

Nigerians? No. YOU are not!

NIGERIANS!

That was how they denied the nomination list which later turned to be the real list. Anyway, Amaechi will be better as a Petroleum, Aviation, Works or Power minister. Just my opinion.
