Ministerial List: Fashola, Amaechi, Fayemi Fails Anti-Corruption Test

Three immediate past governors, Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Ameachi and Kayode Fayemi, have allegedly failed to pass the President’s anti-corruption test as the Department of State Service,
DSS, continues the screening of ministerial nominees.

The trio were seen as top contenders for positions in Buhari’s cabinet.

An insider revealed on Sunday that the DSS did not clear the trio 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, ICPC.

According to the source, when the three affected former governors appeared before the DSS screening committee, they were confronted with series of petitions written against them over allegations bordering on money laundering, fraud, embezzlement and other relevant documents attached to the petitions.

The source further added that they have received instructions from the President that any of the nominees with any damaging and fraud related issues should not be cleared by the security agency.
