As the Department of State Service, DSS, continues the screening of
some ministerial nominees, indications emerged at the weekend that three
immediate past governors, Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Ameachi and Kayode
Fayemi, have allegedly failed to pass the President’s anti-corruption
test.
The trio worked hard for the former Head of State to emerge the All
Progressives Congress, APC, presidential flag bearer as well as for him
to get elected President and were seen as top contenders for positions
in Buhari’s cabinet.
A highly placed security source at the weekend told Nigerian Pilot
Sunday that the DSS did not clear three ministerial nominees, who are
former governors, based on allegations of corruption brought against
them before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the
Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offenses Commission,
ICPC.
According to the source, the security agency allegedly refused to
clear the three former governors based on a series of petitions written
against them over allegations bordering on money laundering, fraud and
embezzlement.
The source further added that when the three affected former
governors appeared before the DSS screening committee, they were
confronted with the petitions and other relevant documents attached to
the petitions.
The source further added that they have received instructions from
the President that any of the nominees with any damaging and fraud
related issues should not be cleared by the security agency.
The President had on Monday in Aburi, Ghana reassured Nigerians and
the international community that he would name his cabinet before the
end of the month.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the President, Media and
Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said Buhari gave the assurance to his
audience at a joint press conference with President John Dramani Mahama
of Ghana.
“After I was sworn in, I said I would have my cabinet in September. I expect that Nigerians should ask me questions after the 30th of September if I do not do so,” Buhari said while responding to a question on the appointment of ministers.
