Role Kwankwaso would occupy in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet
Meanwhile, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election, would possibly be named one of Nigeria's new ministers.
On Monday, June 19, Kwakwanso may likely be made defence minister.
A source hinted that although some persons want President Bola Tinubu to name the immediate past governor of Kano state, Abdullahi Umaru Ganduje, in his cabinet, the Nigerian leader has "aligned with" Kwankwaso.
