BREAKING: Ministerial List: Top Politicians Lose Out Over Security Reports, Corruption, Other Allegations

Some politicians, who think that their closeness to President Bola Tinubu, will fetch them ministerial positions are in for a shock, an investigation by PUNCH has revealed.

It was gathered that the President might rely on security reports on individuals whose names were already sent to security agencies for screening ahead of the submission of the ministerial list to the Senate before Thursday, July 27.

Lawmakers in the Red Chamber were scheduled to proceed on a long recess on July 27, but the non-submission of the ministerial nominees may delay their vacation. Tinubu was sworn in on May 29, and the new law says he must present the ministerial list to the Senate for confirmation before 60 days. Today (Sunday) makes it 48 days since he assumed office.

It was gathered that the President had forwarded the names of some individuals to security agencies for clearance, but top sources said their clearance might not be an indication that they would make the list when the nominees are eventually presented to the Senate for screening.

The President was said to have been inundated with the names of politicians, associates, party bigwigs, professionals, and others, who showed interest to be part of his government.

One of the sources said, โ€œWhile the President is keeping his cards to his chest, there are former governors, especially those that finished their tenure on May 29, who are showing interest in becoming ministers.

โ€œAlso, as expected, there are political bigwigs, traditional rulers, captains of industries, and those in the Diaspora. But instead of waiting to compile the list, the President was sending them to the security agencies piecemeal for clearance.

โ€œThat was why the Presidency was correct when it said there was no ministerial list anywhere.โ€

Recall that the presidential spokesman, Mr Dele Alake, recently said Tinubuโ€™s ministerial list was not ready.

โ€œThere is no iota of truth in all of those things. When the President is good and ready, you will be the first to know his intentions,โ€ Alake said.

The source said that rather than reject nominations of individuals and some politicians, Tinubu might rely on the outcome of the security screening, which he explained had reached an advanced stage.

The source added, โ€œCorrupt politicians, indicted individuals and others who are showing eagerness to be part of this government will be shocked when they see the security reports on them.

โ€œSo, the President, instead of outright rejection, will use the reports to check them. And if they are adamant on serving, I think there are senators from such individualsโ€™ states that will raise objections to their clearance on the floor of the Senate.โ€

Another source specifically mentioned two former governors accused of corruption as among those that might be shocked that they would not make the list despite their perceived contribution to the electoral victory of the President.

โ€œJust wait. Some will be shocked, others will want to constitute themselves into opposition because neither them nor their nominees will be on the list,โ€ the source added.

It was also gathered that the President was also considering rehabilitating a former governor of Lagos State, Akinwumi Ambode, to return him to political relevance in the state.

Ambode, who succeeded Babatunde Fashola as the governor of Lagos State, was denied a second term by political leaders in the state.

He was replaced by Babatunde Sanwo-Olu. Since he left office, Ambode had remained silent until the emergence of Tinubu, who recently met with him, Fashola, and Sanwo-Olu recently in Lagos.

Ambode also visited the President in Abuja on Thursday.

A source privy to the political calculations in the state and the Villa, said, โ€œThere are possibilities that the former governor will get a position either in the Presidency or in the state if permutations work well in his favour.โ€

Part of the permutations, it was gathered, was the possibility of making the senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Tokunbo Abiru, a minister while Ambode would replace him in the Senate.

It was also learnt that Wale Edun, who has been named as the Special Adviser to the President on Monetary Policies, might become a minister representing Ogun State.

โ€œEdunโ€™s case was one of the issues the President discussed with Ogun State traditional rulers when he visited them a few weeks ago,โ€ another source confided.

Edun was said to be the preferred candidate of Tinubu as a minister under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari but he was denied the ticket.
