President Bola Tinubu is expected to unveil his ministerial list between now and July 28, citing the law and constitution of the country.
This is due to the fact that new law signed by immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari has caved Tinubu to unveil his ministerial list within 60 days of resuming office as President.
The President has appointed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), the Chief of Staff and his deputy, as well as the State Chief of Protocol.
Also, President Tinubu has appointed some special advisers and senior special advisers.
Tinubu recently announced the sack of the nation’s service chiefs, the Inspector General of Police, and the Comptroller General of Customs and replaced them all.
James Faleke, All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council secretary, had said President Bola Tinubu will unveil members of his cabinet within 60 days.
“Of course, within 60 days, that’s what the law says. He can announce anytime but I just know he must do it within 60 days,” he said in an interview with Channels TV.
President Bola Tinubu hit the ground running from day one when he resumed the office of the president and has been able to sustain the tempo in subsequent activities.
The actions of President Tinubu have increased the expectations of Nigerians from their new leader and the talk on who are those that would be his minister.
The president is expected to submit the names of at least, 27 ministers to the Senate within the time frame provided by the law.
