The screening of the ministerial nominees by the Senate continued today and it was the turn of a nominee, Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim, to be grilled. Honestly, I was expecting the senators to interview and ask questions in relation to the office she held while serving Yobe people and how she can bring that to the national level for positive change we aspire, without minding she's the wife of a serving senator and three-time former Governor of Yobe state.

Instead, what I saw today has revealed that the senators are not ready for the genuine change. The senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki, made the matter worse by calling her husband to ask her wife a question! The husband ought to have sideline himself and allow other people ask meaningful and developmental questions towards are appointment. "Would you be surprised if the house ask you to take a bow"... asked, the husband?

Seriously, was that a screening question by a serious senator? Does these people think Nigerians are fools? Do the senators take Nigeria affair as a paddy-paddy thing? I feel pained and disheartened by what the senators just did.

I expect seriousness on the part of service to our dear nation and this should reflect on every strata of our government and amongst Nigerians. The media houses should condemn what just happened and keep the senators and public officials on their toes. Please!

Quite unfortunate. What do you expect from a country where the political class takes its citizen for a ride? This can only happen in Naija. It's funny how people will still defend this bullshiit. Smh

WinkWrld:
Wife. 3times house of rep. Commissioner.
Husband. 3 time former governor. Of one state. Current senator.
Is this a family affair? With over 160 million people. One man will just stay on seat for years. And if you look at Yobe. It's an eye sour. Corruption is d game. Bukar is the player

Can you imagine?

I also expect them to be drilled with Question, but sha, all zzzz well...

I have watched with utmost despair the way people have been asked to take a power and go as if it's an eckankar worship center. This is rather shameful.

SHE IS CURRENTLY A SERVING MEMBER OF THE HOR

AND SOME FOOLS WILL COME HERE AND CALL YOU A WAILER... THEY HAVE THE GUTS TO TAKE US FOR A RIDE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT THEY DO, THEY HAVE SUPPORTERS BACKING THEM

it nt even abt d way people are ask to take power rather there shld be a level plain field. Hw cn one man pass thru rigorous screening and other never did

Actually she was asked to take a bow and go, not because her husband is a serving Senator, but because she herself is a member of national assembly. 3 time house of reps member.
Not saying it's a good thing, but it was the convention senate used to clear 2 former senators that are ministerial nominees. Though Lie Mohd didn't deserve it, but they extended the gesture to him.
And same will be extended to Senator Heineken when he comes for his own screening.
Conventions are conventions.

I comment my reserve!

E-Hug... , i know that came from somewhere deep..

You now know how it felt when PDP was riding us all..

But in all truthfulness, she wasn't asked to take a bow cos of her husband but cos of her position as an HOR member.... It's the norm...

I just pity the ministry that woman will head, with her little introduction, that woman is a simple definition of the word, "FLOP". If buhari, after listening to that woman and her introduction and still appoint her as a minister, then buhari hates Nigeria

Fym

see ministers-to-be in a country making loud noise about CHANGE. I just hope we won't change to the worse.
They turned screening into a family dialogue. Nigeria is in trouble.

Regardless, her introductory citation was sterling and her diction was perfect.

It's truly a shame that she was not given the opportunity to share her intellectual prowess with us as evidenced by her resume.

Post her resume for here abeg make we see

Hypocrisy in the air! I can't believe that's what I paid those lawmakers for with my Tax...Just to bring bedroom affairs to the centre of an important screening and some e.diots are here criticizing Barrister Shittu's articulated responses... the man was on hot seat ...I expected them to up the tempo on others..yet they disappointed..It was a show of shame

Ok

Hmmmmm... I just feel like blaming my destiny for the reason behind why i was born in ths country called Nigeria, with the rubbish our politician does..

whichever way, i'll assume, all is well to keep myself calm...

Check my signature for ur customised wristband

What a shame

this is nat what i signed up for ....

APC has nothing meaningful to offer this country apart from propaganda, lies and hypocrisy.

shittu's responses were too lame even if uttered on a seat of hot coal. These are ministers-to-be not admission seekers. They should know what they are in for.
