Senator Ajimobi, who lost his senatorial election bid to Dr Kola Balogun of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is being tipped as one of ministerial nominees even though he is challenging Dr Balogun at the Tribunal.

It was gathered that three people including Senator Abiola Ajimobi, Dr Olusola Ayandele, a gubernatorial aspirant of the party and Oloye Adebayo Adelabu, APC gubernatorial candidate in the last election were nominated for the position.

The duo of Ajimobi and Adelabu were nominated by the party while Dr Olusola was  allegedly nominated by former head of state, Abdulsalami Abubakar .

The immediate past minister of Communications Barrister Adebayo Shittu’s name was not on the list according to an inside source, but the Oke Ogun born legal luminary and politician may be considered for another appointment, it was learnt.

The source disclosed further that the president is considering some of the APC governors that lost elections in their states so as to keep the party functioning in their states for future election.
