BUHARI'S MINISTERIAL LIST IS 'PRACTICALLY IN THE MOUTH OF THE LION'

President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial list is “practically in the mouth of the lion” as it was confirmed that a standing order was issued, indicating instant dismissal for the concerned operative who may be found to have leaked the list.
 “The authorities at the Yellow House (DSS Headquarters) are actually determined to keep the list close to chest. They have an order from the top to do so. In fact, the big man of the service is holding it close. He only appointed one senior hand and three other trusted aides. They were all warned of the consequences of a leak,” a source said.
According to the source who informed the Sunday Tribune that the list is practically in the “mouth of the lion,” concerned members of the public might have to wait for the process to go through before they could have insights.
Other sources, however, expressed worry for the fate of political leaders whose candidates might fail to make the list.
 It was, however, gathered that the APC “… leaders are actually in the dark as to the particular candidates chosen by the president. Remember that he took some names from the party and the vice-president also worked on some, especially those from the South-West. But the president took personal charge afterwards and handed over the final list only to the DGSS.
