Only six of the 28 ministerial nominees forwarded to the National Assembly for vetting, according to Daniel Bwala, an assistant to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Atiku Abubakar, can be trusted.
In an interview for Channels TV’s Politics Today, Bwala discussed the cabinet list and stated that he anticipated the president to have carefully chosen skilled individuals who would inspire trust in the populace.
Bwala said he could vouch for Lateef Fagbemi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and other ministerial contenders who are fresh to politics.

He said: “I honestly expected that Mr President would have carefully selected individuals that are capable of giving confidence to the people. I think you can’t trust more than six people on the list. I can vouch for Mr. Lateef Fagbemi, SAN. Then you have other new entrances, which, to be fair, you cannot judge them when they are not given an opportunity.
“How can somebody who was a minister then became a governor for two terms and go back to become a minister? When you finished part two and went for part three and ended up graduating, did you come back to your university?
“It is repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience for somebody who was a minister and a former two-term governor to come back to the ministry. There are people in his state.”
