President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, and Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The two former governors were nominated as ministers but while Mr. Wike was successfully screened and confirmed by the Senate, Mr. el-Rufai’s confirmation was reportedly delayed due to a security report.
While Wike came at about 1:40 pm, el-Rufai entered the presidential wing of Aso Rock about 2pm.
A villa source hinted that efforts are on to ensure that the senate confirms Mallam el-Rufai.
