The hope of former Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Mr. Sam Egube, and his Energy counterpart, Engr Olalere Odusote about joining the cabinet of Governor Sanwo-Olu may have been dashed as the Lagos State House of Assembly rejected their nominations.
The lawmakers, meanwhile, confirmed Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, former Commissioner for Information and Strategy; Prof Akin Abayomi, former Commissioner for Health; Sola Giwa and 14 others out of the 18 fresh nominees presented to the house by Sanwo-Olu.
During the confirmation of the nominees on the second list presented by the state governor, only Egube and Odusote were not confirmed and that makes it the second time their nominations will ne rejected.
Recall that Lagos State House of Assembly had rejected 17 of the 39 cabinet nominees sent recently by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for screening and approval, while 22 were confirmed.
Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, who presided over the initial sitting, said the confirmation followed rigorous and detailed screening of the nominees by an ad hoc committee led by the Chief Whip of the House, Fatai Mojeed.
