In a recent development in Nigeria’s political landscape, the Senate has failed to confirm the nomination of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former Governor of Kaduna State, and a ministerial nominee from Kaduna State, for a ministerial position in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Alongside El-Rufai, Senator Abubakar Danladi, the former Deputy Governor of Taraba State, and a Ministerial nominee from the State, were also not confirmed. Additionally, one of the Ministerial nominees from Delta State, Stella Okotete, faced the same outcome.

The confirmation process, which spanned seven days, involved screening forty-nine ministerial nominees, sent to the Senate for scrutiny by President Bola Tinubu. Out of the forty-nine, forty-five nominees received the Senate’s confirmation, while the fate of three nominees, including El-Rufai, Danladi, and Okotete, remained in limbo due to pending security reports.
