The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Enugu State on Monday nullified the election of a senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District, Gilbert Nnaji, on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The judgment was given in favour of a former governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, of the People for Democratic Change, PDC, who had challenged Mr. Nnaji’s victory.

President Muhammadu Buhari has forwarded a second batch of ministerial nominees to the Senate. Mr. Buhari sent the list on Monday afternoon. The Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, submitted the list to the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki. The president had, on Thursday, September 30, sent the first batch which comprised 21 nominees. The second batch, according to a source, has 15 names., however, we could not independently verify that claim. The Nigerian Constitution requires at least one minister to be named from each of the 36 states of the federation.
