On Friday, President Bola Tinubu’s decision to withdraw the nomination of Maryam Shetty as a ministerial nominee sparked significant reactions among Nigerians on social media.
According to reports from Naija News, Shetty was promptly replaced by Dr. Mairiga Mahmud.
People speculated that his inclusion was influenced by the criticism he received, and that it served to remove any potential embarrassment for him.
Another social media user, Judith Akatugba, questioned whether Delta State was presenting two ministers, indicating possible confusion or concerns about the representation from the state.
This statement implies that public opinion and social media pressure might have played a role in Keyamo’s eventual nomination.
