According to Vanguard, the senators have also resolved to reject the list if all the 36 states of the federation does not have representation each, arguing that the constitution provides for a nominee from each state.

The senators promised to promised to adopt stringent measures in line with the provisions of the Constitution during the screening of ministerial nominees, noting that they would not be cowed by the trial of Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
