2023: Tinubu Speaks After Buhari Revealed Candidates He Will Support For Election

President Muhammadu Buhari has signed into law, a bill which makes it compulsory for the country’s president-elect, Bola Tinubu to nominate his ministers within 60 days of taking his oath of office.

Naija News understands the bill makes it mandatory for Presidents and Governors to submit the names of persons nominated as Ministers or Commissioners within sixty days of taking the oath of office for confirmation by the Senate or State House of Assembly.

It would be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on March 1, declared Tinubu the winner of the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

The bill signed by Buhari is part of the 16 constitution alteration bills signed into law by President Buhari as confirmed in a statement on Friday by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ahmed Wase.

Back in 2015, President Buhari faced some heavy backlashes over the delay in naming his cabinet members; it took him up to six months to appoint ministers in 2015.

Other bills signed by the President include those to delete railway, electricity generation and prison services from the exclusive legislative list.

With the development, states will now be allowed to generate and distribute electricity, also operate railways without seeking permission from the federal government.


Another bill also signed by the President granted financial independence to states’ Houses of Assembly and judiciary.
