Former lawmaker Shehu Sani has alleged that ex-governors nominated for ministerial appointments by President Bola Tinubu represent his liabilities.

DAILY POST recalls that Tinubu’s ministerial list sent to the Senate for screening and confirmation contained nine former governors, a development that has attracted mixed reactions from Nigerians.

The ex-governors include Nyesom Wike, Nasir El-Rufai, Dave Umahi, and Bello Matawalle, among others.

Delta ministerial nominee, Festus Keyamo, has apologised to the Senate over his failure to appear before the 9th National Assembly when he served as Minister of State for Labour and Productivity in the last administration.

The Nation reports that there was an uproar in the Senate on Monday during the screening of Festus Keyamo SAN for appointment as Minister.

This followed a constitutional point of order and motion moved by Senator Darlington Nwokocha (LP – Abia Central) where he called for the screening of Keyamo to be stood down over his past attitude towards the National Assembly when he was Minister.

Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, on Monday, presented 32 patrol vehicles and 160 motorcycles to support the mobility of security personnel as government steps up collaborations to improve safety in the hinterlands.

The governor also presented three patrol vehicles to Kwara State Road Traffic Management Authority (KWARTMA) to improve the agency’s operations.

“Today is another day in our efforts to strengthen security across the state. Each of the 16 local governments is getting two vehicles and 10 motorcycles each,” the governor said at a brief event held at the Government House, Ilorin, the state capital.

“The local council authorities are to work closely with all the stakeholders, including traditional rulers within their areas, and make sure that they have serious engagements with security agencies. The security agencies cannot do it alone. They need our support to make sure that our communities are safe. This is why we are making sure that they have the right mobility to do that. We urge them to put it to good use,” he added.

At the event, the State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Engr Yakubu Danladi-Salihu, commended the governor for the initiative, which he said would help to bolster security in every part of the state.
