Presidency has stated that reports of a ministerial nominees list are “mere fabrications”.
Gatekeepers News reports that there are speculations that the list will be sent to the Senate this week.
President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, Dele Alake, while speaking with State house correspondents on Thursday, said the list will be made public when it is ready.
“About the ministerial list, the simple truth is that, you know, this is an executive presidency, we’re not running a parliamentary system,” he said.
“So the president, the bucks stops on his table, and he decides when it is fit and proper for him to make his cabinet list public.
“So, we are not unaware of all the speculations, and innuendos and rumours, all kinds of things in the media. Now, I as a media man, I chuckled to myself that people just want to sell, so they just fabricate.
“I can tell you all of those things you’ve been reading in the media are mere fabrications. There is no iota of truth in all of those things.
“When the president is good and ready, you will be the first to know about his intentions.”
