keeping matters relating to the appointment close to his chest emerged

ministerial nominees would be sent to the Senate for screening.

This, he explained, was an indication that the President did not want
to talk on the matter.

delaying the list of his ministerial list.
"The President did not answer that question. That, to me, means that
he is keeping details to his chest," the source said.

Adesina; and his Senior Special Assistant and Media and Publicity,
Mallam Garba Shehu, could not be reached for comment as of the time of
