Sunday Aborisade, Abuja
Peoples Democratic Party members in the senate on Tuesday continued their protest against the confirmation of a former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, as they mobilized themselves against the last process to validate the exercise, at plenary.

A mild drama ensued in the in the red chamber when the PDP senators refused to support the approval of the votes and proceedings of last week Thursday.

The opposition senators had walked out of the Chamber on Thursday, when the members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, despite protests by their opposition colleagues went ahead with the confirmation of Amaechi, despite their absence.

The PDP senators opposed the confirmation of Amaechi because they claimed that the panel report based on a petition against him was haphazardly treated by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in order to satisfy his political party.

Ameachi, according to the petition, was accused of mismanagement of the state’s resources when he was at the helm of affairs as Governor.

The development informed the investigation of the petitioners’ allegations on the basis of which the senate committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, which invariably recommended that the senate should not confirm him since the matter was still pending in court.

The ruling party nevertheless confirmed Amaechi, to demonstrate that in democracy, minority will always have their say and the majority, their way and this left the PDP lawmakers helplessly aggrieved.

The opposition senators having lost the fight last week, therefore resisted the last process of approving the confirmation for onward transmission to Buhari.
