Tinubu government: Jostle for juicy positions begins

The scramble for top positions in the cabinet of President-elect Bola Tinubu has commenced ahead of the forthcoming inauguration on May 29

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on March 1, declared the All Progressives Congress, APC, flagbearer the winner of the keenly contested presidential poll.

Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar – Labour Party, LP, and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidates, respectively, rejected the results and are challenging the victory at the tribunal.

But the APC and its supporters are gearing up for the swearing in of Tinubu and running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, insisting the election was won fair and square.
The race for appointment is in two categories, presidency and ministerial, though one has at least three subdivisions.

Under the presidency, offices to be filled include Chief of Staff, CoS, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Special Advisers, SAs, and Senior Special Assistants, SSAs.
