In a surprising turn of events, President Bola Tinubu has decided to withdraw the nomination of Maryam Shetty as a ministerial nominee. This move came after the President had initially submitted the names of 48 nominees, including Maryam Shetty, to the National Assembly for screening and confirmation.
In a letter addressed to the Senate, President Tinubu officially replaced Maryam Shetty’s name with that of Mairiga Mahmud. The reasons behind this sudden change have not been disclosed yet, leaving many speculating about the underlying circumstances.
During the Friday plenary session, Senate President Godswill Akpabio read out the letter from the President, announcing the substitution of the ministerial nominee.
The decision has sparked interest and debate among political circles, with questions raised about the factors that influenced the President’s choice to withdraw Maryam Shetty’s nomination and select Mairiga Mahmud instead.
