Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, has begun completing some important selections for his cabinet ahead of the May 29 takeover date.

In addition to Gbajabiamila, former Lagos State Commissioner for Finance Wale Edun and Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu are thought to be under consideration for important appointments to Tinubu’s team.

The source hinted thus: “Wale is supposed to be the coordinator of the economy, either as Finance Minister or the CBN governor. It is not clear yet what his plans are for Bagudu. But he has also been penciled in and is going to be operating at a very high and serious level in the administration.”
According to newsmen, Tinubu is slated to become Nigeria’s 16th President on May 29, 2023, after winning the presidential election on February 25, 2023.
