Ministerial Nominees: Tinubu Picks Keyamo, Maigari, Drops Maryam Shetty
In what looks like a dramatic twist of events, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday, July 4, 2023 replaced Maryam Shetty as a ministerial nominee and opted for two new names vis-a-viz Festus Keyamo and Dr Maigari Mahmud.
This was contained in a letter addressed to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio which was read at plenary of the Upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly.
In the second supplementary list of ministers’ nominees, Maryam Shetty from Kano State was replaced with Dr Mairiga Mahmud in addition to the inclusion of APC Presidential campaign spokesman, Festus Keyamo into the list of the proposed President Tinubu-led Federal Executive Council (FEC).
