Festus Keyamo

Festus Keyamo, the immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment, has reacted to the ministerial nominees of President Bola Tinubu.

TORI earlier reported that the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, ended speculations on Thursday afternoon as he presented the president’s ministerial nominee list before the Senate for screening and confirmation.

Gbajabiamila, the immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, presented the list to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio at exactly 01:19 pm.

Akpabio thereafter read the ministerial list with 28 nominees.

Keyamo, who was missing from the list, was mocked online, especially as he had always defended every decision of Tinubu online.

Amidst the exclusion from the list of nominees, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said those nominated deserve it.

He tweeted: “Huge congratulations to all the ministerial nominees by the President @officialABAT; very well deserved”
