Festus Keyamo, the state minister for labor and employment, has spoken out about Bola Tinubu’s appointments of people outside the All Progressives Congress (APC) to his cabinet.

Keyamo said he was unable to confirm or reject whether Tinubu will name individuals from the APC to his cabinet.

Ministerial appointments are at the President-elect’s discretion, according to the Tinubu-Shettima campaign council spokeswoman.

“I cannot confirm or deny it. When the President-elect said he would go for competence, expectedly he would search far and wide for competent people.

“But I cannot specifically or definitely confirm or deny that. It is the complete prerogative of the President-elect,” Keyamo told newsmen.

As Nigerians awaits the May 29 handover, Tinubu’s appointment of cabinet members is beginning to take the centre stage.

Certain names and loyalists to the President-elect are beginning to emerge as possible cabinet members under the incoming Tinubu administration.
