The Presidency has ordered tighter security around President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, Alh. Mamman Daura.

The enhanced security is also for the Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari and some other members of the President’s Kitchen Cabinet, following protests over the cabinet, which is yet to be formed.

Security agencies, who are screening nominees from the states, are said to be trailing the sponsors of the attacks on Daura and Kyari.
Another source told The Nation that the final consideration of likely ministerial nominees is being done by the President.

Most states have as many as three nominees from whom the President will pick one.

Said the source: “ The list in most states comprises three nominees, but the President has adopted broader perspective in considering the nominees, including some former ministers.

“ Preliminary background checks on some of the nominees are ongoing. But before the President sends the list to the National Assembly in July, the checks would have been concluded and the best chosen for cabinet appointments.”

It was unclear if the President will retain the 36-man structure or allow six more ministers for each of the six geopolitical zones to make 42.

A Presidency source said: “ The constitution allows either 36 or 42 ministers.

“It is the prerogative of the President to determine what is best for the nation.”

Section 147(1-3) directs the President to appoint at least 36 ministers unless the constitution is amended.

The section reads: “There shall be such offices of Ministers of the Government of the Federation as may be established by the President.

“Any appointment to the office of Minister of the Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President.

“Any appointment under Subsection (2) of this section by the President shall be in conformity with the provisions of Section 14(3) of this Constitution:

“Provided that in giving effect to the provisions aforesaid the President shall appoint at least one minister from each state, who shall be an indigene of such state.”
