According to reports, President Bola Tinubu is nearly finished compiling his ministerial list.
The President was claimed to have conducted detailed meetings with his special advisors before deciding on the list, according to news reports.
While the long-awaited list is nearly complete, this platform reported last week that the lobby for ministerial appointments intensified as party sources revealed that some former governors and lawmakers who lost in the 2023 general election were hovering at the All Progressives Congress (APC) national office in Abuja.
It was also learned that most state chapters of the ruling party had finished their nominations for cabinet appointments, which would be forwarded to the President.

However, a source close to the Presidency told The Punch that the President kept a core of ministers to himself.
The source said “I learned that Tinubu’s ministerial list is almost done. He kept a core of ministers to himself, heavily influenced by the kitchen cabinet of SAs.
“The politicians are in ‘Bolekaja’ over the rest. It’s a slugfest now.”
Meanwhile, another source confirmed Tinubu’s flight from London today ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This platform stated yesterday that the President will arrive in Lagos today ahead of the Sallah celebrations, citing a source close to the presidency.
According to the source, Tinubu will return to his private Ikoyi residence in Lagos later Tuesday to celebrate his first Sallah as President.

The source said “I am are certain that he will return to Lagos tomorrow (Tuesday), not Abuja. That’s where he will observe Sallah.”
