Governor of Jigawa State, Umar Namadi, has revealed what Nigerians should expect as governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress played a significant role in the emergence of President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial list.
Premium Politics reported that the much-awaited list of ministerial nominees was received by the Senate on Thursday morning and is expected to be fully unveiled today by the National Assembly.
Speaking on what to expect from the list, Governor Namadi said Nigerians should be expectant of a rancour-free list.
According to him, the list has the blessings of the ruling party’s governors.
During an interaction with journalists on Wednesday in Dutse, Jigawa State capital, Namadi said President Tinubu has been consulting with governors and that when the list is finally released, it will not cause any rancour among the state leaders.
“Of course, governors were carried along. Yes, we were carried along. Certainly, Nigerians can expect a list that would not cause any rancour amongst us,” Namadi told Daily Trust.
The governor, who spoke on several issues, also said the much-touted “calculator” that has become synonymous with Jigawa State by virtue of its former governor being known as ‘Mr Calculator’ was not as bad as some people had been painting it to be.
He explained that all the calculator phenomenon means was the judicious and prudent use of the state’s resources for the overall good of the public.
