Buhari's Ministerial List: 33 Nominees Fail Corruption Test

Details about why President Buhari has failed to announce his ministers have emerged.

President Muhammadu Buhari
Nigerian Tribune reports that the delay in the unveiling of the much-awaited ministerial list after President Mohammadu Buhari’s two months in office is connected to the fact that about 33 nominees were found to be linked to malfeasance, fraud and misappropriation of funds.
While only three out of the 36 nominees successfully passed, it came as a shock to know that 33 nominees shortlisted by the president failed the corruption test which was based on security reports. It was revealed to Nigerian Tribune that the nominees penciled in and those submitted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) hierarchy were subjected to scrutiny by the DSS, EFCC, ICPC, CBN, the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID), and the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) for forensic screening. However, the results came as a huge disappointment to the president who planned to have a corruption-free administration.
