The Presidency on Friday disowned a list of ministers-designate
and portfolios currently in circulation, especially on the social
media.
It said President Muhammadu Buhari has yet to assign portfolios
to the 43 ministers-designate who were confirmed by the Senate on
Tuesday.
The President’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad,
made this known in a message he posted on his Twitter handle.
Ahmad said Buhari would only announce portfolios after he must
have inaugurated the cabinet members.
He wrote, “So someone decided to sit down and make a list of
ministers-designate and also assigned portfolios to them?
“The assigned list is now being circulated and is trending on
WhatsApp as usual.
“Disregard any list, please. Portfolios will be announced by Mr
President after their inauguration as Ministers of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.”
In the list that is in circulation, Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN) was
assigned to the Ministry of Justice; Mr Rauf Aregbesola was named
the Minister of Budget and National Planning while Mrs Paulen
Tallen was assigned to the Ministry of Women Affairs among
others.
