I Can Only Trust Six Persons On Tinubu’s Ministerial List
Meanwhile, Daniel Bwala, an aide to the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said only six of the 28 ministerial nominees forwarded to the National Assembly for screening can be trusted.
Speaking on the ministerial list during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Bwala said he expected the President would have carefully selected capable hands that would give confidence to the people.
Bwala stated that he could vouch for a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Lateef Fagbemi, and other ministerial nominees that are new to governance.
