Ministerial Nominees Paid N2.5b To Be Selected

A U. S. based Nigerian Academic scholar, Professor Farooq Kperogi has disclosed that some Minister nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari paid up to N2.5b to get the slot.

Prof. Kperogi made this known in a series of tweets on his official twitter handle.

He said, “Ministership for Sale: Up to N2.5b Per Slot–THREAD

I declined to comment on the ministerial list Buhari sent to the Senate for 2 reasons:

I was deeply distraught by what I heard about the process that produced it & I wanted to confirm the info from trustworthy people who should know.”

“Four different, dependable, and independent sources who don’t know each other but who’re close to the corridors of power were eerily united in telling me that except for a few ministerial nominations (notably those of Adamu Adamu, Ali Isa Pantami, Mohammed Musa Bello, Raji Fashola whom Buhari himself personally penciled— and those that were conceded to Tinubu) every other post was literally auctioned off to the highest bidder.”
