“There is no iota of truth in all of those things,” Mr Alake said of the rumours surrounding the ministerial list.
“When the President is good and read, you will be the first to know about his intentions.”
President Tinubu, in his first 30 days in office, made a series of appointments which included his aides and the appointment of service chiefs.
Similarly, President Tinubu suspended the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele, and the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa.
New individuals have since occupied both positions in an acting capacity.

Nyesom Wike, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Professor Ishaq Olorode or Isa Aremu, and former Aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode, amongst others, are allegedly on the list.
Former Osun state governor, Gboyega Oyetola, might be reassigned for nomination as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Tinubu set to repay Nigeria’s $500 million Eurobond debt in July
In another development, Nigeria’s new President and his government are set to repay a $500 million Eurobond debt this July.
The country obtained the Eurobond five years ago at a rate of 6.375 per annum.
The debt repayment will be Tinubu’s first debt repayment as Nigeria’s debt profile hit N82 trillion following the naira’s devaluation.
