Rotimi Amechi's Screening Adjourned Again To Thursday, See Reason Here by Zikkyfuse(m): 7:40am On Oct 21, 2015
According to a recent update from Naij.com, the anticipated screening of Rotimi Amechi has be deferred by the Nigerian Senate Again.

The Plenary will not be held by the red chamber on October 21st, 2015 as scheduled previously. PM news reported this with reference to the statement of the Senate clerk Nelson Oyewoh. The information provided is that the screen exercise will now hold tomorrow October 22nd, 2015.

Remember Amechi's screening was initially slated for last week but couldn't hold due to delay in providing reports on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions by the Senate committee.

Another session of screening which saw three nominees screened was held yesterday, but the former Governor of Rivers State failed to undergo the process once again.

Speaking on the matter, the officials of the All Progressive Congress (APC), showed a glaring confidence by expressing that no matter the amount of petition filed against the nomination of Rotimi Amechi, the screening exercise must hold.

However the screening must hold tomorrow because according to the constitution as quoted below, Unless the Senate confirms or formally rejects Amechi by Thursday, October 29, he will be sworn in automatically,

The constitution says,
“An appointment to any of the offices aforesaid shall be deemed to have been made where no return has been received from the Senate within 21 working days of the receipt of nomination by the Senate.”

It cant be postponed again. as a matter of fact, if he is not screened tomorrow, he will be automatically sworn in as a Minister, according to the Nigerian constitution! That man's case is really strong
