The nomination of seven people for screening and approval as ministers by the Senate drew mixed reactions.
Prior to the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election, President Muhammadu Buhari issued a directive to all appointees contesting the presidential race to resign.
Some ministers, such as Rotimi Amaechi, Godswill Akpabio, Ogbonnaya Onu, Tayo Alasoadura, and others, withdrew from the presidential campaign, while others, such as Rotimi Amaechi, Godswill Akpabio, Ogbonnaya Onu, Tayo Alasoadura, and others, resigned from their jobs.
