The decision was announced today, October 14, 2015, by Senate President, Bukola Saraki who read a letter from Buhari to that effect.
No official reason was given for Ibeto’s withdrawal but some political commentators say that his name was removed because there were two nominees from Niger State on the list.
The other Niger indigene on the list is Abubakar Bawa Bwari who will now occupy the state’s slot.
