Buhari may have withdrawn the name of immediate past Deputy Governor
of Niger State, Ahmed Musa Ibeto from his ministerial list.
Ibeto made the first batch of 21 ministerial nominees sent to the
Senate President by Buhari on September 30.
Vanguard however reports that the withdrawal of Ibeto's name may not
be unconnected to the fact that like Ibeto, another ministerial
nominee, Abubakar Bawa Bwari, who was among the second batch of 16
nominees announced by Senate President yesterday, also hails from
Niger State.
Abubakar Bawa Bwari popularly called ABB by his admirers was born on
4th November 1963 in Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State.
He was elected as a member of the Federal House of Representatives,
representing Suleja/Gurara/Tafa Federal Constituency in 1998 and
subsequently became Chief Whip of the House, a position where he
served meritoriously over a period spanning 1999-2007.
With Ibeto reportedly dropped, the total number of ministerial
nominees now stands at 36 instead of 37.
Confirming this development via his Twitter handle @bukolasaraki, the
Senate President in a tweet yesterday evening said: "Today, I presided
over the screening and confirmation of 10 of the 36 Ministers
nominated by President Muhammadu."
