However, 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.
The former governors arrived the State House separately.
While Wike came at about 1:40pm, el-Rufai entered the presidential wing of Aso Rock at 2pm
Sources at the Presidential Villa hinted that efforts are being made to ensure that the Senate confirms Malam El-Rufai soon.
