El-Rufai, Ganduje Top List Of Contenders For SGF
The Kaduna State Governor, Governor Nasir el-Rufai, and his kano counterpart, Abdullahi Ganduje are leading candidates for the post of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) in the incoming administration.
A source told TrackNews that the names of the two-term governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been forwarded to the President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
The source added that the choice of el-Rufai as the SGF is however being weighed with that of Ganduje, who has been a close ally of the president-elect.
It is understood that the positions of the SGF, Senate Presidency, and Speakership will be discussed during Monday’s closed-door meeting of the APC leadership and the party’s National Assembly members-elect at the State House in Abuja.
It was learned the allocation of the positions will be thoroughly discussed at the meeting in order to secure the commitment of everyone to form a common front before the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly in June.
