According to our sources, the dominant names of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ministerial nominees who are politicians would mostly be former Governors from the North.

Also leading the list of technocrats are the former Minister of State for Health during the Jonathan administration Dr. Ali Pate, Senator Tokunbo Abiru representing Lagos State, a former Lagos State Finance Commissioner under the Fashola administration and Mr. Dele Alake, currently (super) Special Adviser to the President.

While Alake is tipped to become Information Minister-possibly with a new name for the ministry, Pate will become Health Minister and Abiru is pencilled down to be Nigeria’s next Finance Minister.

In the same vein, Mr. Wale Edun, currently a Special Adviser is tipped to be the next Central Bank Governor. Another technocrat expected on the list is Mr. Ahmed Raji, SAN from Oyo State.

Politicians expected on the list include former Governors Nasir El Rufai, Abdullahi Ganduje, Bello Mattawale and Atiku Bagudu. Bagudu has been tipped to become the next Minister of Agriculture while it is rumoured that Rufai may go to Interior Ministry. For Ganduje, there are now suggestions that the former Kano State Governor should be put forward instead as the Chairman of the party instead of being a minister.

An authoritative list who spoke to Quest Times Wednesday night said these are some of the names on the final list. But he warned that there may still be last minute changes as the “amount of pressure being put on the President has been has been unprecedented.”

He also disclosed that the current Special Adviser for Revenues, Dr. Zach Adedeji has been pencilled down to become the next Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS.

There were also indications that in the forthcoming Tinubu cabinet, there may not be the Minister of State rank. But that is if the President accepts the recommendation to make all ministers in his cabinet substantive.
