The Senate President wasted no time and immediately proceeded to read out the names of the nominees before the assembled senators and the nation.
Among the individuals named in the ministerial list were the former Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, and the presidential spokesman, Dele Alaka. Alongside them, Nyesom Wike's inclusion in the list caught the attention of many, as it marks a significant political move.
