Senate ‘receives’ Buhari’s second ministerial list

Senate President Bukola Saraki says he has received the second batch of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nominees.

Confirming the report on his Twitter timeline, Saraki wrote: “Few minutes ago, on behalf of @NGRSenate I received the 2nd batch of #Thelist of #MinisterialNominees.”

Just as it happened on September 30, when Buhari sent the first batch of nominees to the senate, Monday’s batch was delivered by Ita Enang, his special adviser  on national assembly matters (senate), and Abba Kyari, his chief of staff.

Buhari’s first list received mixed reactions from the public.

While die-hard supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) sided with the party, others criticised it for containing people facing corruption allegations and old people who had been in government for years.
