A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Maryam ‘Shetty’ Shettima, has broken her silence after her ministerial nomination was withdrawn by President Bola Tinubu and replaced with Maigari Mahmud, who is also from Kano State.
Recall that Tinubu, on Wednesday, forwarded an additional 19 names of ministerial nominees to complement the previously sent 28-man nominees earlier sent on August 2.
However, on Thursday, Shetty’s ministerial nomination generated mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media, particularly, Twitter.
Reacting to the development in a Twitter post on Friday, Shetty appreciated President Tinubu for finding her worthy to be nominated as a minister in the first place.
The APC stalwart added that she is grateful and thankful for any decision from the President.
She wrote: “I was just informed now at today’s plenary session that President Bola Ahmad Tinubu has withdrawn my ministerial nomination and replaced with Dr Mairiga Mahmud.
“I’m grateful and thankful for any decision from you My President!”
