The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has barred the lawmaker representing Ondo-Central senatorial district, Senator Tayo Alasoadura, from attending South-West caucus meetings. The senator was reportedly ostracised for allegedly working against the interest of the party’s South-West leadership and for taking sides with Senate President Bukola Saraki. Alasoadura was also among the senators that followed Saraki to the Code of Conduct Tribunal in solidarity on Tuesday.  Punch reports that a reliable source within the party said Alasoadura had been sidelined from all APC South-West meetings for his disloyalty to Tinubu.

The delay in the appointment of ministers by President Muhammadu Buhari may not be unconnected with the believe by the president that civil servants and technocrats are the ones who do the job of governance more than the ministers. Although the president said he intends to stick with his decision to name his cabinet before the end of the month, he however opined that ministers are only there to “make a lot of noise”. He stated this during an interview with French television station, France 24 on Wednesday. Asked if the absence of a finance minister was affecting the Nigerian capital market and economy, Buhari said: “No. It is what we know –and which we learnt from the western system. The civil service provides the continuity, the technocrat. And in any case, they are those that do most of the work.” “The ministers are there, I think, to make a lot of noise; for the politicians to make a lot of noise. But the work is being done by the technocrats. They ...
