Senate President Bukola Saraki read out the list of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nominees on Tuesday and subsequently announced that the screening exercise will begin next Tuesday.

Though the list has been in the public domain since last week, no sooner had Saraki reeled off the names than Nigerians started reacting.

As usual, the reactions came as a mixture of dissent and satisfaction. Below are some of them:

Buhari waited 5 months just to release the same names we were all expecting to appear on the #AppreciationList sorry I mean #MinisterialList

I belong to everybody, I belong to nobody. BIG LIE. Mr president, you belong to your party. #MinisterialList of errand boys.

In all honesty, Jonathan appointed more technocrats as ministers (Adesina, NOI, Johnson etc) than what I’m seeing on the #MinisterialList.

I think PMB believes more in people of his age group….well, hope they all collectively deliver the dream Nigeria! #MinisterialList

Its only natural that those who contributed to the success of the party be recognized. Hopefully the next list will be it #MinisterialList
