The alleged appointments had produced heated discussions among top party bigwigs and personnel at the national secretariat on September 14, even as some National Working Committee (NWC) members were locked in a meeting with governorship candidates from Bayelsa state.
 
Out of seven NWC members who had shown interest in becoming ministers four names reportedly were sent to President Buhari for his attention.
A source at the party’s secretariat who pledged to be anonymous said the president had nominated the incumbent secretary to the government of the federation, Engr. B.D. Lawal out of the four names submitted by the APC leaders.
“It was not clear, however, whether the president would honour the remaining names,” he said.
Naij.com earlier said that the presidency had sent about 20 names to the DSS for screening.
The list of those who were said to have been screened by the DSS include former presidential candidate, Prof. Pat Utomi, Femi Falana (SAN), a former governor of Osun state, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, a former finance commissioner in Lagos state, Wale Edun and former managing director of Nigerian Breweries Limited, Festus Odimegwu.
 
Others said to be on the list are Abubakar Malami (SAN), former Chief of Army, Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazu (retd.); and former chief executive of the Federal Inland Revenue, Ifueko Omoigui- Okaru.
Meanwhile, another insider disclosed that President Buhari was considering some of the APC leaders for appointment as ambassadors to Nigeria’s embassies and missions abroad.
