- The Senate on Monday, August 7, confirmed 45 ministerial nominees sent by President Bola Tinubu after screening them

Ikeja, Lagos state – Segun Akinleye, a public affairs analyst, on Friday, August 11, picked Dele Alake as the ideal candidate for the Minister of Communications position.

Ministerial list: Alake for Communications ministry
Akinleye stated that the fact that Alake has functioned in a similar capacity at the state level and under the same man (President Bola Ahmed Tinubu), he should be a perfect fit for the Communications ministry.
He told Legit.ng:
“For the prospective minister of communication, that should be Dele Alake. Why? He was Tinubu’s commissioner for information when he was governor of Lagos state. He is a veteran journalist who will be the armour-bearer of the presidency. Remember, he was the SA on Media and Special Duties before he was nominated as a minister. So, Dele Alake wins it for me.
“And lastly, Tinubu knows how powerful media narrative is and for this reason, he will unleash Dele Alake on Nigerians. The word is ‘unleash’. Lai Mohammed will be child’s play.”
