The VNYP emphasized that the president\u2019 s choice of cabinet members must reflect integrity, competence, and a genuine dedication to national progress.<\/p>\n<p>This development comes amidst reports suggesting that Bola Tinubu has submitted a list of potential cabinet members to various security agencies,  the EFCC and DSS.<\/p>\n<p>The leaked list, dubbed the \u2018 cabinet of unity, \u2018 is said to feature nominees from both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and technocrats. It has sparked fierce political contests and intrigues, particularly in selecting suitable representatives from key states.<\/p>\n<p>Sources indicate that Tinubu\u2019 s cabinet is likely to be expansive, mirroring the size of former President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019 s cabinet, albeit with significant realignments in portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>With less than 20 days remaining before the constitutional deadline for submitting the list to the Senate, expectations are high for a diverse cabinet composition that ensures representation from each state and the six geopolitical zones.<\/p>\n<p>As President Tinubu navigates this critical decision- making process, the Northern group\u2019 s plea for integrity and accountability resonates deeply.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34);\">While the VNYP\u2019 s advice carries weight, the ultimate decision lies with President Tinubu, who will be tasked with striking a delicate balance between political considerations and the nation\u2019 s best interests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34);\">Source: TheCable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/5f982603071949cb9c205110085490b8\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: MustknowUpdates (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
