Jonathan appointed the present 43-member council in April 2010, following the dissolution of the late President Umaru Yar\u2019Adua\u2019s cabinet in April of the same year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0A cabinet member who is confident to stage a come-back to the government, confided in Vanguard that\u00a0\u201cThe information we have is that no serving minister is allowed to lobby for fresh appointment. And Mr. President has warned that any one found to be engaged in the act if he or she were initially pencilled down for reappointment would be dropped,\u201d the source said adding that \u201cthe president wants people to be appointed on merit and not on godfatherism\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
