Ministerial Appointment: Tinubu Meets Wike, El-Rufai In Aso Villa


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday met with former Governors Nyesom Wike (Rivers) and Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Both former governors are President Tinubu’s ministerial nominees.

But while Wike scaled the Senate screening, El-Rufai’s nomination has not been passed.

Wike came out of the meeting with the President around 1:40 p.m, while El-Rufai arrived at 2 p.m for his session with the President.

Sources at the Presidential Villa hinted that efforts were being made for the Senate to confirm El-Rufai.

Both former governors declined to address reporters after their separate meetings with President Tinubu and no official information was forthcoming on what transpired between the President and the minister-nominees.
