According to Gistreel, a letter from Tinubu to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, which was delivered during Thursday’s plenary session, contains specifics of his request.
Tinubu, in the letter, listed the nominees to include: Dr Nentawe Yilwatda, Muhammadu Dingyadi, Bianca Odumegu-Ojukwu, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, Mukhtar Maiha, Yusuf Abdullahi Ata and Dr Suwaiba Ahmad.
