President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, after an anxious wait by Nigerians, sent his ministerial nominees to the Senate through his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila in two batches of 28 and 19.
Though there have been misgivings about the list, with many Nigerians faulting the heavy presence of former this and that, especially former governors, the lack of ‘enough’ representation of women as mouthed by women rights groups and the presence of people deemed to have been tainted by corruption allegations in the past, the list to many, is a mix of career politicians and people believed to be core technocrats.
President Tinubu’s nominations is also evidently the largest since the return of the country to constitutional democracy, with 48 nominations.
