President Buhari has forwarded the names of two new ministerial nominees
to the Senate for confirmation. According to presidential sources, the
two nominees are from Kogi and Gombe state.
The nominee from Gombe state is to fill the position of immediate past
Minister of Environment, Amina Mohammed who has moved on to become the
Deputy Secretary General of the United Nation
while the one from Kogi is to fill up the vacant position of former
Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi who died in a fatal accident
on March 6th 2016.
Whether or not the screening and confirmation of the new ministerial
nominees would be done immediately is unknown as the senate and the
presidency appears to be having a faceoff now.
Just yesterday, the senate suspended the screening and confirmation of
27 Resident Electoral Commissioners sent in by President Buhari. The
suspension according to the senators, is in protest of President
Buhari's refusal to sack acting EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, who they
rejected last week.
