Veteran Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko is one of the trending topics on the popular microblogging site, Twitter, as he appears on the suggested ministerial list.
Online reports claim that the Lagos State native Jide Kosoko, who started acting when he was ten years old in 1964, will serve as the Tinubu administration's minister of state for Culture, Tourism, and State of Arts.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu still has 18 days to make the complete list public because he needs to name his cabinet within 60 days of assuming office on May 29.
Additionally, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, a former Super Eagles captain, is designated as the State's Minister of Youth & Sport Development ministerial list.
Fayemi Kayode, Gen. Abdulmalik Jubril (RTD), Simon Lalong, Nyesome Wike, Nasril El Rufai, Festus Keyamu, Andy Uba, Gboyega Oyetola, Sen. Teslim Folarin, Sadique Abubakar, Bello Matawalle, Abubakar Badaru, and others are also included on the list.

@jamescassidy8: When I saw Jide Kosoko, I chuckled. I'd be thrilled to see him—or any of the veterans—in that circumstance.
Along with @OnyedikaAnambra, @B_akwaugo This is definitely a joke list! Wike police minister? Haa! Oh, God, abeg.
Jide Kosoko is Minister of Tourism, Culture, and the Arts, tweets @AltarOnFire. Budget and Planning Ministry. Dabri Abike.
Wike and Jide Kosoko are on the BAT ministerial list, according to @Esteembehemoth. Nigeria is no more, chaiii.
@drpepple_: The same, well-known names keep appearing. All new hopes were crushed.
@IAkaluka: I cry if this is true. Wiki says Andy Uba, the minister for police affairs, will have particular responsibilities. Why are Elrufai, Nnamani, Elechi, Oshomole, and Ganduje on this list together with several former governors? It's simply a way for me to reward loyalty.
@7footre: primarily made up of politicians. Will we implement the required adjustment in this manner? Let's wait for the official list, then.
@MaaziChidi: All I can say is that Martin Elechi for Ebonyi is on this list, so either that was a leak or something else. I'm inclined to declare the entire list to be fraudulent, but that would be unfair and it mustn't happen once more.
@Obedng: Since the extremist Elrufai is the interior minister, other religions will be persecuted. It's a false list, in my opinion.
I just saw a ministerial list plus portfolio..Not Confirmed
