LIVE: Nigerian Senate Continues Ministerial Screening by Cobismanuel: 11:45am On Oct 22, 2015 |
The Senate will today, October 22,
conduct another round of ministerial
screening as nominees will entertain
questions raised on the floor of the
House.
Topping the list of ministerial nominees
to be screened today is former governor
of Rivers state Rotimi Amaechi.
Amaechi is the last man standing from
the first batch of ministerial nominees
forwarded to the Senate by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Out of the first 21 nominees from ‘batch
A’, 19 have been screened while one
nominee from Batch B has also been
screened. With the statistics, 15
nominees from ‘batch B’, and one from
the first list is yet to be quizzed.
18 ministerial nominees who have been
confirmed are: Udoma Udo Udoma
(Akwa Ibom state), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti
state), Audu Ogbeh (Benue
state), Ogbonnaya Onu (Ebonyi
state), Osagie Ehanire (Edo
state), Abdulrahman Dambazau (Kano
state), Lai Mohammed (Kwara
state), Amina J Mohammed (Gombe
state), Suleiman Adamu (Jigawa state),
Ibrahim Jibril (Nasarawa state),
Babatunde Fashola (Lagos state), Dr. Ibe
Kachikwu (Delta state), Abubakar Malami
(Kebbi state), Chris Ngige (Anambra
state), Aisha Jummai Alhassan (Taraba
state), Solomon Dalong (Plateau state),
Kemi Adeosun (Ogun state), Hadi Sirika
(Katsina state).
But President Muhammadu Buhari
withdrew the name of immediate past
deputy governor of Niger state, Ahmed
Musa Ibeto, from the list of nominees.
It is believed that the Senate did not
allow its deputy president, Ike
Ekweremadu, to preside over the
screening of ministerial nominees
yesterday because he is of the
opposition party.
The Senate plenary session was
suspended yesterday as Senator Bukola
Saraki is currently facing a 13-count
charge bordering on false assets
declaration, to which he has pleaded ‘not
guilty’, but the hearing has since
continued at the tribunal.
The Senate President was accompanied
by about 84 of his colleagues to the
tribunal on Wednesday, October 21, as
the hearing was resumed and the case
was further adjourned till November 5,
pending the outcome of the Court of
Appeal.
A visibly happy Saraki walks into the Red
Chamber
11:00: Rotimi Amaechi and five other
ministerial nominees have been listed for
Thursday’s screening at the
Senate. Other nominees that will face the
lawmakers include Heineken Lokpobiri,
Claudius Omoleye Daramola, Prof.
Adewole Isaac, Shehuri Mustapha and
Ocholi James.
10:57: The Senate moves into a closed
session in preparation of today’s
ministerial screening.
10:55: Senate President Bukola
Saraki leads the Senate Leadership to the
Chambers and the Official prayer is
taken.
10:50: Senators arrive the Senate
Chambers in preparation for Plenary. |
