List of beneficiaries of the PMB government
* Father Mbaka: A special commendation from the President to ascertain his unbiased nature and statesmanship
* Amina Zakari: A former commissioner of INEC who upstaged the handpicked successor of the immediate past chairman of INEC, Prof Jega. Her alleged blood relationship with the President may have played a big role in her appointment. Also despite the expiration of her tenure, she is still at the helm of affairs in the electoral body
* The 36 governors of the federation: As part of the moves to assuage and curry the support of the governors, a special financial package was signed and granted to them under the controversial NLNG tax remittance. There are also talks of future payments under the cloud of bailouts for the state
* Lawal Daura: An alleged party member of the APC who supposedly was a member of its security committee. He also hails from the same state as the President, and is rumoured to share a blood relationship with the President. His slice of the pie was his appointment as the head boss of the DSS
* Muritala Nyako: A onetime govenor who had a case with the EFCC over financial misappropriation of the state's coffers. After the exit of the previous administration, he flew into the country after fleeing from arrest at the eve of the elections. His slice was a slap on the wrist treatment by the EFCC.
* Adams Oshiomole: The governor of Edo state was a strong and outspoken critic of the previous administration. He was vital in swaying the support of the populace to the APC. Recently he was rewarded with the president's support for a world bank loan
* Prof itself sagay: His recent appointment as the head of an advisory committee on corruption is not unrelated to his unethical outbursts against the ex-president. Also he and his committee was supported with a grant of $500 million
