Reports have emerged on the reason why President Muhammadu Buhari sent an incomplete list of ministerial nominees to the Senate on Wednesday, September 30.
Indications have emerged that the remaining 15 names of ministerial nominees will be received by the Senate early next week after what sources described as ‘laborious’ security vetting of the prospective nominees.
Reports as of last night, revealed that the various security agencies were working frantically to beat the new deadline said to have been given to them by the President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Vanguard, the security checks on the remaining nominees are being carried out within and outside Nigeria.
The President on Wednesday, September 30, had forwarded to the Senate, names of 21 nominees for confirmation, with a promise to send the others in due course.
It was learnt yesterday, that the Presidency insisted that more background checks be conducted on the nominees, especially against the backdrop of the need to avoid making mistakes in appointing the wrong persons into the cabinet.
It was also gathered that the names of those submitted to the Senate on Wednesday were those whose background checks had been concluded.
