Going by several political permutations by analysts on social media, the immediate past governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode was expected to make the ministerial list released by President Buhari today.
The absence of his name of the list is now causing an uproar on Twitter with mixed reactions.
In the 43-name ministerial list, 11 were reappointed. Those who made the ministerial list included former Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, former Benue State Governor, Senator George Akume, former Bayelsa State Governor, Timpreye Sylva and former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola.
Below is how Nigerians are reacting to the list and Ambode’s exclusion…
Me looking for Ambode's name in the list. It definitely got to be hiding behind someone's name, maybe Momora. 🙄#MinisterialList pic.twitter.com/zkbfMlmGZp

Any Nigerian youth celebrating the newly released #MinisterialList sure has the lowest depth of low self-esteem. As a youth, there is nothing in there for you except crumbs off the floor. Anyway, all choices have consequences, this is yours to face.

#MinisterialList looked more like compensations and invite to come and enjoy the cookie jar more. Are we saying out of 200m people, we still have to recycle ex-govs? no other technocrats in this country? Good thing is i expected nothing from the start

A particular person on here swore Buhari in wanting to curtail Asiwaju has made Ambode Minister. List out no Ambo, you people’s political permutations and “inside gist” is just as inconsequential as you’re offline.
