Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, is said to have established criteria for appointing the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
With Tinubu set to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2023, there are indications that the North-West geopolitical zone may be given the office of SGF.
Politicians in the region have been emphasizing the importance of massive votes in Tinubu’s presidential election victory in recent weeks.
Tinubu’s criteria, according to sources close to him who spoke with Vanguard, are a commitment to serve, diligence, loyalty, competence, and a history free of unnecessary controversy.
According to those close to Defence House, Tinubu prefers an SGF who is level-headed and diligent, rather than one who is prone to unnecessary controversies and controversies that may obfuscate the essence of government policies if ventilated in a way that arouses suspicion among the Nigerian public.
According to Vanguard, three major frontrunners are vying for the position of SGF.
The candidates are Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, Aminu Bello Masari, Governor of Katsina State, and Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, Governor of Kebbi State.
Each of the contenders has played an important role in Tinubu’s election as President-elect.
President-elect Tinubu, on the other hand, is said to be planning a surprise.
Tinubu is keeping the identity of the joker a secret.
Finally, he is expected to appoint someone to assist him in ensuring the effective coordination and monitoring of government policies and programs.
