Tinubu,  Obasanjo fight over choice of  Soludo as Finance minister

The historic conclusion to the March 28th presidential elections may have turned the political structures of the ruling party on its head in a manner that marveled many within the country but the uncertainties surrounding the staffing of the incoming Buhari administration appears to pose a more intriguing scenario.

This is as information available to 247ureports.com indicates that the typical horse trading for the sensitive ministerial positions within the Buhari administration has ensued.

Available information indicates that the former Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo may have been presented by the former president of Nigeria, General Olusegun Obasanjo as the possible Minister of Finance for the Buhari administration. Prof. Soludo had served as a member of the economic team for the Obasanjo administration prior to becoming the governor of the CBN.

Soludo's presentation to the incoming administration as the likely minister of finance is reported to have raised eyebrows within the inner circles of the All Progressive Congress [APC] – who explained that Soludo remains a card carrying member of the All Progressive Grand Alliance [APGA]. He complained that Soludo cannot be allowed to reap where he did not sow.  The main chieftain of the party, Bola Tinubu is said to be among the APC members who were skeptical about Soludo's possible appointment as Finance minister.
