The Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics and Public Petitions, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who spoke with a Punch correspondent on Friday in Abuja said that the committee would send petitions to protest against President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nominees on Tuesday once the list is presented to them.
He said as of Friday, no member of the public had formally submitted any petition against any of the ministerial nominees.
Sen Anyanwu said
“We have not been receiving petitions from members of the public obviously because the list of ministerial nominees has not been officially unveiled by the senate president.
“I think the petitions will start coming in as from next Tuesday after Nigerians would have known the nominees.”
Some members of Peoples Democratic Party-controlled states are also preparing to oppose the clearance of any All Progressives Congress member that would make the list from their states.

Some aggrieved members of the APC in some states were also said to have threatened to write petitions against any nominee that is not confirmed by the state chapter of the party as a member.

It was gathered that the Rivers State Government and the state chapter of the party had concluded plans to oppose a former governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi, if he was nominated.
It was learnt that the state government might instruct senators from the state to oppose Amaechi’s nomination.
But when contacted, the state government and the PDP said they would prefer to keep mum on the report that Amaechi’s name was on the ministerial list.
The Media Assistant to the State Governor, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, said the state government would take a position after the senate must have read out the list on Tuesday.
Nwakaudu explained that everything about the content of the ministerial list would be mere speculation until it is read out by the National Assembly.
He said: “Let the list be read first; if the list comes out, we will formerly take a position,”.
Similarly, the State PDP Deputy Publicity Secretary, Mr. Samuel Nwanosike, said the party would be thorough in its position on whether Amaechi’s name appeared on the list or not, but would have to wait until the Senate read out the list on Tuesday.
“When the Senate reads out the list, we will react. We are always thorough when we take a position on an issue. They said it is the Senate that will disclose the content of the list and that will be on Tuesday. We are waiting for them to do that,” Nwanosike added.
The Director of International Women Communication, Hajia Goroso Limota urged the senate to reject the list if it did not contain at least 35% of women.

These senators should just calm down. You have not received list, you are already preparing to petition based on heresay. You are already preempting the judgement of the public.

But why?

The era of baseless petitions are over. Whether you like or not sef, these ministers will scale through the inner caucus

Just go on Tuesday and make some noise. God is watching you

"and PMB awarded amaechi with a 'saint' status".

If they fail the corruption test, they should drop them. We need change in all sector.

I know it will be hard for buhari to drop some corrupt stakeholders. But if the senate refuse to confirm them.
If will create room for more technocrat

Will those petitions stop PMB from having them as ministers?

No minister-designate may be removed from the list on unproven allegations alone.

Na part of their job.

Joblessness @ its peak

Why have they not received the list since is what should be asked. For a country in the type of poo they are in, a serious leader would have jumped to work on day one, and not be slaughtering rams as if he is in the 3rd century. That's what happens when Africans are complacent and go for people who's only record on file is overthrowing civilian government

The senate cannot base non-confirmation on mere allegations.

If they could do that, Saraki will not be deemed fit to still preside as the senate president.

"I hate your analysis, you too bias. You can condemn saraki, base on mere allegations but if its amaechi, you will do otherwise".

Wetin be this one problem? He is indirectly asking the public to petition any names.

When the Senate rejects any minister go and swear him in let's see

Let the drama start today, but I think if anyone who has case to answer should not be confirmed

Don't mind the hypocrites!! We now see them clearly for whom they really are

You know next to NOTHING about politics.

I have only educated you that rejection cannot be based on mere allegations. If it were so, Saraki would not be Senate president as we speak.

what is unproven allegations. When it comes to PDP and GEJ, no one talks about proven allegations.

Lolz go and remove Saraki then!! The ag FIRS chairman Fowler would be definitely rejected for faking a honorary doctorate degree!! Amaechi, Fashola, the ag DSS and INEC chairpersons are also endangered

But, are you wailing?

He is already the president.

Just saying...

He said and I quote "impatience is not a virtue"...

Okbye....Good day!

All the senate need to do is to order the CCB and the nominees to come with thier previous and present asset declaration before they are screened.

Did I just read that the apc chapter of rivers state plans to oppose amaechi? How's that even possible? Lol.
