Nigeria’s upper legislative chamber, the Senate, says reports making the rounds that it has received ministerial list from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is false.
Labour Party’s Senator representing Anambra Central, Victor Umeh, issued the disclaimer on Tuesday.
Senator Umeh said it was impossible for the Senate to be discussing the ministerial list during its closed-door meeting when the Senators had not received one.
Umeh’s statement comes after several media reports claimed that the Senate had received the ministerial list and was discussing it in a closed-door meeting.
As the deadline for submission of the ministerial list by Tinubu to the National Assembly draws near, Nigerians are anxious and waiting with batted breath to see who will make the list.
Experts say the calibre of people appointed by Tinubu into his cabinet will go a long way in determining the success or otherwise of his policies and administration as a whole
