Nigerians have reacted after the name of the immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, was not included in the list of ministerial nominees submitted to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.
TGM reported earlier that Buhari submitted a list 43 nominees to the Senate for screening and approval on Tuesday.
Many Nigerians expected the name of Ambode to appear on the list after he obeyed his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC’s directives and handed over to Babajide Sanwo-Olu after one term as Lagos Governor.
However, he was not named in Buhari’s list submitted on Tuesday.
Here are some reactions:
I'm pained.
So on top all the waka wey Ambode follow Buhari do for the campaigns, local man didn't make the list.
