The second round of ministerial nominations was sent to the senate by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday.
According to NAIJALOADED, the list was provided by Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila.
A “point of order to allow a stranger approach the chamber” was made by Senate Majority Leader Opeyemi Bamidele (Ekiti-APC) and backed by Minority Leader Simon Mwadwon (PDP-Plateau).
At precisely 3:18, Gbajabiamila entered the room and handed Akpabio the list.
The list features nominees from the remaining states of Adamawa, Bayelsa, Gombe, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Lagos, Plateau, Osun, Yobe and Zamfara.
The Senate president has not yet released the second list, so it is unknown how many names will appear on it.
You may recall that on Thursday, Tinubu sent a list of 28 ministers and said he would send more names soon.
