No show for Ameachi and Fashola? that may be the case
now as DSS sieves the shaft from the grain in its effort
to vet ministerial nominees. That is a good one!
As Nigerians wait for President Muhammadu Buhari’s
ministerial list, indication emerged weekend that a
former Managing Director of Nigerian Breweries
Limited, Mr. Festus Odumegwu and a former
presidential candidate, Prof. Pat Utomi, are among the
ministerial nominees.
Punch reports that their names have been screened by
the Department of State Services.
Surprisingly, notable names like immediate past
governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola and
APC Presidential Campaign Director during the last
election, Rotimi Amaechi were missing from the much-
awaited list.
According to the report, those already said to have
been screened as nominees for President Muhammadu
Buhari’s cabinet also include a former Governor of
Osun State, Olagunsoye Oyinlola; a Lagos-lawyer,
Femi Falana (SAN), and Ifueko Omogui-Okauru.
Also on the list are a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-
Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazu (retd.); an ex-chief
executive of the Federal Inland Revenue, Mrs. Ifueko
Omoigui-Okaru; a former finance commissioner in
Lagos State, Mr. Wale Edun; and a former National
Legal Adviser to the defunct Congress for Progressive
Change, Abubakar Malami (SAN).
It was gathered that the screening of the nominees had
been concluded on Friday.
President Buhari had earlier promised to unveil his
cabinet before September 31.
