President Muhammadu Buhari, finally forwarded the list of 43 ministerial nominees to the Senate for confirmation with former ministers Lai Mohammed, Rotimi Amaechi and Ogbonnaya Onu among others making the list while names like Godswill Akpabio, Festus Keyamo, Rauf Aregbesola and George Akume, among others made the list as first timers.
Vocal Nigerians have taken to the social media to express their opinions on the list.
It is a mix of laughter, disdain and disappointment.

“Finally, Buhari releases the #MinisterialList on time.
An effort which is laudable.
But what is Rauf Aregbesola doing there?”

“Omisore sold Osun state to APC for some cash and ministerial promise. Now APC scammed baba.??.
He should have supported Adeleke and he would have been relevant in his government but once a greedy thief, always a greedy thief. ?”

“Any Nigerian youth celebrating the newly released #MinisterialList sure has the lowest depth of low self-esteem. As a youth, there is nothing in there for you except crumbs off the floor. Anyway, all choices have consequences, this is yours to face.”

“Gbemisola Saraki made #TheList?
2023 she may have enough tools in her war chest to contest for Governor.
2025 she reconciles with her brother.
2027 they team up again.
