As the Department of State Service, DSS, continues the screening of
some ministerial nominees, indications emerged at the weekend that three
immediate past governors, Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Ameachi and Kayode
Fayemi, have allegedly failed to pass the President’s anti-corruption
test.
The trio worked hard for the former Head of State to emerge the All
Progressives Congress, APC, presidential flag bearer as well as for him
to get elected President and were seen as top contenders for positions
in Buhari’s cabinet.
A highly placed security source at the weekend told Nigerian Pilot
Sunday that the DSS did not clear three ministerial nominees, who are
former governors, based on allegations of corruption brought against
them before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the
Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offenses Commission,
