Growing rumors suggest that President Bola Tinubu may choose to make Rabiu Kwankwaso, the former governor of Kano State, the defense minister in his new administration.
Following a meeting between Kwankwaso and Tinubu at the State House in Abuja a few weeks ago, according to our sources, this development has occurred.
It is thought that Kwankwaso’s potential involvement in the incoming administration was the main topic of conversation.
According to recent reports, Kwankwaso, who represented the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in the February presidential election, may be appointed defense minister.
A trustworthy source revealed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is experiencing internal conflict over the distribution of ministerial positions in a statement to Vanguard.
The source said, “From what I understand, the President’s team will be made up of 20 strong special advisers, likely to have significant influence. They might join the influential inner circle. ”.
“There is currently a lot of internal conflict within the APC, and some factions are siding with the former governor of Kano, Umar Ganduje. But it seems as though Tinubu has sided with Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the NNPP’s presidential candidate. ”.
Ganduje has regrettably lost control of Kano State and, as a result, is no longer relevant. Kwankwaso therefore has a good chance of being named defense minister. ”
While the official list of Tinubu’s cabinet members is eagerly awaited, sources close to the president and the APC leadership have suggested that certain individuals, including Kwankwaso, may fill key positions in the administration.
