President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday transmitted the list containing the second batch of ministerial nominees to the senate.

NAIJALOADED reports that the list was submitted through Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff.

The Leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, Ekiti-APC, raised “a point of order to allow a stranger approach the chamber” which was seconded by the Minority Leader, Simon Mwadwon, PDP, Plateau.

At exactly 03:18, Gbajabiamila walked into the chamber to hand over the list to Akpabio.

The list contains nominees from the remaining states of Adamawa, Bayelsa, Gombe, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Lagos, Plateau, Osun, Yobe and Zamfara.

However, it is unclear the number of names on the second list as Senate President is yet to unveil it.
