Meanwhile, President Tinubu’s ministerial list is expected to be announced by the National Assembly on or before Friday, May 28.

More speculations over Tinubu's unreleased ministerial list

The list might be announced sooner than Friday as speculations continue to lace around the unreleased ministerial list.

An earlier report by Legit.ng confirmed that President Tinubu was reshuffling the list, which has, in turn, led to the delay in announcing the list.

Other speculations have that some big names were removed and replaced from the list due to some disparities about their antecedents and the disagreement posed by the party chieftains and the national assembly.

Top names like the former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, former governor of Kano, Abdullahi Ganduje and former governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, had been removed from the unreleased list.
