President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly requested for two days not to receive any visitors at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
According to reports, the President has cleared his activities for Tuesday and Wednesday as he tries to review and finalise his ministerial list.
This means frequent visitors to the Villa like former governors Abdullahi Ganduje, of Kano; Nyesom Wike of Rivers and others won’t get access to see the President if need be till tomorrow, Thursday.
President Tinubu, who was sworn-in on May 29, 2023, has till Friday, July 28, to submit the list to the senate in line with section 42(a) of the Constitution, which states that “the nomination of any person to the office of a Minister for confirmation by the Senate shall be done within sixty days after the date the President has taken the oath of office”.
It was gathered that even though most of the nominations are settled, there are States posing a challenge because of the candidates. It was also said that many of his associates are in the dark over the final list.
