"List filled with Ex gov, Senators and Reps. Nothing for those who waited to be leaders of tomorrow."

@idmann_mit said:

"Elrufai was Minister 20yrs ago, Wike was Minister 12yrs ago. In batch 2 of the #Ministerial, you'll see Kwankwaso who rejected VP lobbying for Minister.
"They didn't identity young ns who can be Ministers but them bcos it's not about service delivery but political survival."
