The other nominees confirmed are Abu Bulama from Yobe
State, Stephen Oru from Delta State, and Adedayo Adeyeye from Ekiti State.
The Senate on Wednesday afternoon confirmed former Kano
State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, as a minister.
Mr. Shekarau was confirmed alongside others nominated by
President Goodluck Jonathan.
The other nominees confirmed are Abu Bulama from Yobe State,
Stephen Oru from Delta State, and Adedayo Adeyeye from Ekiti State.
Mr Oru was the National Vice Chairman, South South of
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, while Adedayo Adeyeye is a leader of the party
in Ekiti.
The new ministers were appointed following the resignations
of some former ministers such as Yerima Ngama, former minister of state for
finance; Caleb Olubolade, former minister of police affairs; and Godsday
Orubebe, former minister of Niger Delta Affairs.
Mr. Shekarau, a founding member of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, decamped to the PDP after the former’s structure in Kano was handed
to the incumbent governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who had decamped from the PDP to
the APC.
The new ministers would now be sworn-in by the president and
positions assigned to them.
