Blackout in Senate as senators screen ambassadorial nominees According to the report, the incident happened when the Senate committee on foreign affairs were screening the 46 non-career ambassadorial nominees forwarded to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari for confirmation. The substantial part of the screening was carried out in total darkness on the first day due to the situation as it lasted for about one and half hours. PAY ATTENTION: Get the latest News on NAIJ.com News App When the outage initially occurred, the expectation was that the screening would be paused for power to be restored but the chairman of the committee, Senator Monsurat Sunmonu and other members of the committee defied the darkness and continued with the exercise. The venue later became stuffy and virtually unbearable and was partially illuminated with phones torchlight, while camera men increased their inbuilt camera lights to illuminate the arena to be able to get sharp images of the persons they wanted to capture. Eminent Nigerians who were nominated for ambassadorial appointments went through the hectic process without complaining. Some of them who were interviewed on their feelings about the power outage refused to make comments, while others said as Nigerians; it was not strange to them because they knew that the country is still undergoing challenges in many areas. The nominees who were screened are Goni Bura (Yobe), Yusuf Tuggar (Bauchi), Ahmed Ibeto (Niger), Kabiru Umar (Sokoto) and Baba Madugu (Bauchi). Others are Baba Jidda (Borno), Justice George Oguntade (Lagos), Garba Gajam (Zamfara), Bala Mairiga (Zamfara), Christopher Okere (Anambra), Etubom Asuquo (Cross River) and Nurudeen Mohammed (Kwara). The list also has Amin Dalhatu (Jigawa), Ahmed Bamali (Kaduna), Professor Dandatti Abdulkadir (Kano), Justice Isa Dodo (Katsina), Professor Mohammed Yisa (Kwara), Mrs. Modupe Irele (Lagos) and Suzanne Folarin (Ogun). Major General Ashimiyu Olaniyi (Oyo), Oriji Ngofa (Rivers), Jonah Odo (Ebonyi) and Eniola Ajayi (Ekiti) also made the list. https://www.naij.com/1088314-blackout-senate-senators-screen-ambassadorial-nominees.html
