Let us pray ~ Senate President Saraki

Now who is the clown that keeps on turning off the sound

Are you telling me,no station is showing it? Dstv?? Nta??

30 mins into this shindig and we still have "distinguished senators" milling around. No sense of urgency whatsoever.

The place looks empty

Distinquished senators loitering around when they have a pressing job at hand.

We are only waiting for Senator Kabiru Gaya..
Chip Whip, are we ready?

Abeg keep updating...... I no get tv

Watching in 3D

Senate goes into closed session - members of the public ejected

Agreement reached on modalities for screening during closed session

#MinisterialNominees includes Pastor Usani Usani Uguru (Cross Rivers)?

There goes Buhari's attempt to Islamacise the country.

No ministerial nominee for FTC?
- Objection raised by speaker below.
- Calls it a human rights issue

Deputy Senate President questions the validity of the request made by previous speaker.

Fits of giggle, as Senator Anyanwu makes it known that he "represents the Anyanwu destiny".
He wants the ethics commission to ponder over Kaduna's ministerial nominee?

Senator Anyanwu is about to start reading his recommendations.

- Amina Muhammed was mistaken for Kaduna's ministerial nominee?
Note: Senators have been paying attention to social media

Objections to Amaechi's nomination would be read out tomorrow - Senators standing down motion for now.

Senator Udoma Udo Udoma brings a wealth of experience from both the private and public sector.
- expressed his admiration of Buhari's integrity and anti-corruption campaign.
- understands what the country needs
- feels he is ready to hit the ground running
- enjoins all Nigerians to come together and work during these dire economic times

Assessment: no waffle; succinct; spoke with conviction.

Fielding first question from Senate President.

Dr Kayode Fayemi has been asked to respond to the following concerns:
(1) He left Ekiti with an excessive debt burden (posed by Senator Sola Adeyeye of Osun)
(2) Extravagant spending to furnish the Govt House of Ekiti (posed by Senator Sola Adeyeye of Osun)
(3) Allegation he passed through non-conventional borders to escapee from Nigeria during the period of Abacha's clamp down
(4) What should be the role of Nigeria in the crisis unfolding all over the world (Foreign policy)

Response:
- Government exists on a continuum
- State was saddled with certain obligations at the time he assumed office
- Met obligations in excess of 30 billion Naira
Completed projects started by Oni. Paid off contractors
- Ekiti gets 3 Billion every month. Wage bill is 2.4 Billion

Responses

Fayemi drove IGR from 190 million a month to 500 - 600 million, only for this to fall back to 350 with the down turn in our economy.
Proud achievements: Job seekers allowance; implementation of traffic management scheme; sanitation programme; ran Youth in Agriculture programme; diversified educational curriculum - ICT was introduced to broaden skills.

And the shows goes on. Fayemi: if we are tough on terror, we need to be tough on the causes of terror. We need a social response to out out-of-school kids. Need viable reform in out criminal justice system. We need to let people know there is a deterrent. Our prison system is saturated with people who have been failed by the justice system.

Phew! This is going on forever.
