The jostle for positions in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, especially for ministerial appointments has reportedly intensified.
Checks by OsunDailyNG reveal that there are 27 ministries left vacant by the immediate past administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The jostle for these positions has gotten hotter, as former governors, and lawmakers of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), who lost in the 2023 general elections have reportedly intensified efforts to lobby for appointment.
This platform earlier reported that there are strong indications that some chapters of the APC have completed the compilation for ministerial appointments from President Tinubu.
Also, others as gathered by OsunDailyNG are still in the process of compilation to be forwarded d to the party’s secretariat in Abuja for onward transmission to President Tinubu.
While several groups have called on the President not to consider old governors and other categories for appointments, former governors, senators, and other bigwigs in the ruling party have reportedly intensified their lobby for ministerial appointments in Tinubu’s cabinet.
