TINUBU TO GIVE KWANKWASO KEY APPOINTMENT

-


There have been growing speculations that President Bola Tinubu is considering appointing Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governor of Kano State, as the Minister of Defence in his new government.


POLITICS NIGERIA reports that this development comes after Kwankwaso met with Tinubu at the State House in Abuja a few weeks ago.

It is believed that their discussion revolved around Kwankwaso’s potential involvement in the upcoming administration.

Fresh reports suggest that Kwankwaso, who ran as the flag bearer for the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in the February Presidential election, may indeed be chosen as the Defense Minister.

A reliable source, speaking to Vanguard, disclosed that there is internal strife within the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the allocation of ministerial positions.

The source stated, “Based on what I know, the President’s team will consist of 20 powerful special advisers who are likely to wield significant influence. They may become the influential inner circle.”

“The APC is currently facing intense infighting, with some factions supporting former Kano governor Umar Ganduje. However, Tinubu appears to have aligned himself with the Presidential candidate of the NNPP, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.”

“Regrettably for Ganduje, he has lost his grip on Kano State and has consequently lost relevance. As a result, Kwankwaso stands a good chance of being appointed as the defence minister.”

While the official list of ministers from Tinubu is eagerly awaited, sources within the presidency and the All Progressives Congress leadership have hinted at the possibility of certain persons, including Kwankwaso assuming roles in the government.
