NASS to unveil ministerial list today – Akpabio’s aide

A media aide to the Senate President, Jackson Akpabio, has stated that the authentic ministerial list of President Bola Tinubu will be unveiled today.

He further urged Nigerians to stop speculating and wait for the unveiling of the nominees.

Commenting on the list, he said, “I saw the list too just like every other person did, let’s wait till tomorrow (today). Don’t speculate, tomorrow (today), you’ll see the list.”

Also, there were speculations over the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and the Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau’s early departure from the Senate building on Wednesday.

But Jackson clarified that Akpabio was within the National Assembly complex on an inspection of a building site.

He said, “The Senate president’s outing this evening has nothing to do with the ministerial list, he went to inspect a church site within the complex.”

The long wait for the ministerial nominees will end on Thursday (today) as the Senate is expected to unveil the list of ministers during today’s plenary which is the constitutional deadline for the nomination.

This is as a viral list of ministers which surfaced on social media on Wednesday generated confusion across the country.

There has been anxiety over the delay in the release of the ministerial list by President Bola Tinubu.

Many Nigerians have expressed concerns over the delayed formation of the president’s cabinet, particularly given Tinubu’s promise that he would hit the ground running. Punch
