President Bola Tinubu has sought Senate’s confirmation of three nominees for appointment as ministers.

The request was contained in a letter addressed to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and read at plenary, yesterday.

He, however, failed to make a fresh nominee from the South East, despite repeated appeals from stakeholders to consider the geopolitical zone.

In July, Tinubu named 48 ministerial-nominees. While some geopolitical zones got nine slots, the South East with five states, got only the constitutionally-mandatory five slots. Following the development, governors from the region and other political stakeholders pleaded with President Tinubu to consider the zone.
