A fresh fact has emerged considering a list of 27 names of “new appointees and some new ministries” allegedly made by President Bola Tinubu and has been circulating on Facebook.

As reported by Africa Check, a fact-checking platform, the list, which has now been confirmed to be false has been reposted on other Facebook pages with some claiming that President Tinubu has abolished certain ministerial offices.

According to the Facebook post, popular Nigerian pastor, Tunde Bakare has been appointed as a special adviser to Tinubu while Pat Utomi, an economist and member of the Labour Party has been appointed as the minister of development and national planning.

Human rights activist, Femi Falana, was also said to have been appointed as minister for justice.

‘Nothing can be further from the truth’
One of the names on the list, Utomi, has denied the claim that he has been appointed a minister by the Tinubu’s administration.

Utomi urged Nigerians to ignore the list.
“Nothing can be further from the truth,” The PUNCH quoted his spokesperson as saying.

Process of appointing ministers
Recall that the law passed by immediate former president Muhammadu Buhari, states that ministers are to be appointed within 60 days of the start of a new government.

The names are then sent for the lawmakers to critically examine the nominated ministers at the national assembly.

The process of confirming the nominees by the national assembly is likely to be televised live, similar to previous sessions.

None of the above scenarios have happened and no reputable media organization has reported such.

Fashola is SA on power

Tinubu should abolish junior ministers aka minister for states.

They are like spare tyres.

He should also reduce government spending by merging some ministries and parastatals especially those ministries that are not generating money/profits on their own.

He said he was going to make corruption less attractive to politicians and civil servants. We are eager to see how he will do it.

fake , Tinuba can never appoint falana as minister of justice

Fash has left law for quite a while.

The position of AGF is still better than the power sector which is not his field

To me, Fashola is the closest for AGF position. The person must be someone close and trusted

Fashola will do far better than his predecessors in the AGF position

Fash left law since before '07.... He has to refresh again, there are some who are practising now and I think they are more in tune with what's up.

Fash isn't fighting for anything, any portfolio given to him now will be to rest. He is not that young man we used to know!

That is what he is gunning for.

Utomi is a theorist.

You have made no point. A successful man in life and business, an accomplished economist, is being called a "theorist" by some Nairalander.

Because your assumption is that a Nairalander is no one. This only tells me about your current status. Don't assume we're cut from the same cloth.

Pat Utomi is a well known theorist here. You may disagree because you assess him at face value the same way you've assessed me on a faceless forum.
