But at a meeting with Senators on June 7, Tinubu assured those who lost elections and members not endorsed by the party that they would not be left out.
A chieftain in the state chapter of the party, said, “ You know the President has promised that the party would do everything concerning the appointments in his cabinet but we are not sure if our party has started the compilation of the list.”
In Ekiti State, The PUNCH gathered that the national leadership of the party preferred Senator Dayo Adeyeye, who championed Tinubu’s campaign for presidency through South-West Agenda for Tinubu 2023 presidential ambition. The APC Public Relations Officer of the party in Kano, Alhaji Ahmed Aruwa, who stated, this in a telephone interview with The PUNCH, said the state former Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, was the leader of the party in the state.
But his counterpart in Gombe State Publicity Secretary, Moses Kyari, said the state Governor, Muhammadu Yahaya, would nominate a minister from the state. He said, “It is the prerogative of the man himself and that may include involving the party, which is expected. But as of now, I am not aware of any nomination list emanating from the party. The President has the right to appoint his ministers whether he decides to consult the party or not. It is expected that he should consult the party but if he chooses not to, it is his prerogative to appoint them himself.
On his part, an APC chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, assured Nigerians that the ministerial nominees’ list of Tinubu was ready.
