Nigerians have taken to social media to express divergent opinions on the 43-man ministerial list submitted to the Senate for screening and confirmation.

The list includes the names of former Akwa Ibom State governor, Godswill Akpabio, former Benue State governor, George Akume, Buhari campaign spokesperson, Festus Keyamo, SAN.

Others on the list are former governor of Ekiti State, Niyi Adebayo, Senator Gbemisola Saraki, Senator Olutayo Alasoadura, immediate past governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola and Senator Olurunnimbe Mamora.

Rotimi Amaechi, Raji Fashola, Adamu Adamu, and Lai Mohammed are some of the former ministers who made the list.

Read reactions monitored on Twitter:

What ministry will Keyamo get? Will Malami be moved to another ministry?

Any Nigerian youth celebrating the newly released #MinisterialList sure has the lowest depth of low self-esteem. As a youth, there is nothing in there for you except crumbs off the floor. Anyway, all choices have consequences, this is yours to face.

Saddens me not to see @DrJoeAbah make the #Ministeriallist. Man would have made a difference and set pace for many others!

#MinisterialList are there really new names?
Aregbe, Gbemi, Mamora or Akpabio?
Still same set of people. Looks more of a consolation (reward) list.

Dear Buhari,
What is my offence? I cannot find my name on the Ministerial nominees list.
Please get back to me, don't be unfortunate.

Yours in crisis,
