President Muhammadu Buhari has on Tuesday sent a list of his 43 ministerial-nominees, comprising 14 returnee ministers and 29 new appointees to the Senate.
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, read the President’s letter at the plenary, noting that the screening of the nominees would start on Wednesday (today).
From the list, it could be seen that the President returns 14 former ministers, while 17 failed to make the list.
But reacting to the list, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said Buhari’s ministerial list was colourless, stagnant, uninspiring and did not convey any sense of hope or purposeful governance.

Lamenting that the list is an utter disappointment to Nigerians, Ologbondiyan said the nominees are incompetent individuals who failed in their erstwhile ministerial assignments and allegedly left their ministries in a shambles.
Ologbondiyan said, “The list has further shown Buhari and the APC’s insensitivity and disdain for Nigerians and it does not in any way reflect their hope and eagerness for a better Nigeria.
“Furthermore, in recycling failed yesterday’s men for today’s assignment, Buhari and the APC have left no one in doubt that they have no vision to move our nation out of the economic and security predicaments into which they have plunged us in the last four years.”
