The nominee from Oyo State, Barrister Adebayo Shittu was one of the 21 nominees sent to the Senate, September 30 and on Wednesday, October 14, his name was number nine on the Order Paper, but was however not called probably for lack of time, just as Chairman, Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Media and Publicity, Senator Dino Melaye had said on Thursday that Shittu would be screened today.
Ahmed Musa Ibeto was replaced with Abubakar Bwuari Bawa. Reasons why Ibeto was replaced was due to the fact that the governor himself, the speaker of the state house of assembly and other key political office holders are all from the same zone; Zone C of the state.
The nomination of Ibeto, who is also from the same zone, was creating political tension in the two other zones (A and B) owing to what many say was lopsidedness in the sharing of top offices in the state..
