In another development, the ex-governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, and three other ex-governors made President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial list.
The list was read on the floor of the Senate on Thursday (July 27) afternoon after many weeks of delay.
Wike's name was prominent on the list because he is a member of the major opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
