The Labour Party has declared that it will investigate the legal ramifications of President Bola Tinubu’s choice to submit ministerial nominations to the National Assembly in pieces, which will deprive roughly 10 states of having ministers present when council is constituted.
This was due to the fact that the party’s spokesman, Pastor Obiora Ifoh, claimed in a statement that the list “just a huge disappointment to Nigerians expectation for a performing team” and did not inspire any Nigerians.

The statement reads in part: “Labour Party will therefore in the days ahead seek proper legal counsel on the legality or otherwise of a piecemeal submission of the ministerial list as against the submission of the “Full” list as envisaged by the Electoral Act”.
“About 10 states will not have representatives in the Federal Executive Council meeting when it is convened. No state in Nigeria should be made to suffer for the ill-preparedness and incongruous attitude of this government.
“It is therefore pertinent for us to put on record that the expectations of Nigerians were completely shattered.
“Nigerians expected more quality, character, dynamic, and resulted-oriented Nigerians to be on that list, but what we saw is a recycling of some failed and clueless politicians who have contributed to bringing Nigeria to its parlous condition.
“This list does not in any way reflect the enormous reservoir of talents, potentials, and resources Nigeria is known for.
“It still baffles us as to why this government ignored the youthful and technocratic potentials that abound but rather chose to appoint spent forces that have failed Nigeria in the past.”
