The two former governors are ministerial nominees but while Wike was screened and confirmed by the Senate, the nation’s upper legislative chamber did not confirm el-Rufai because of an alleged security report.
While Wike came at about 1:40 pm, el-Rufai entered the presidential wing of Aso Rock about 2pm.
A villa source hinted that efforts are on to ensure that the senate confirms Mallam el-Rufai.
