President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja with former governors of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, and Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.
The two former governors have been nominated for cabinet positions.
However, while Wike was screened and confirmed by the Senate, the nation’s upper legislative chamber did not confirm el-Rufai because of an alleged security report.
