BREAKING! Senate Confirms Amaechi's Approval As Minister

Rotimi Amaechi’s nomination as a minister
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has been
approved after being BREAKING! Senate Confirms
Amaechi's Approval As Minister
by the
Nigerian Senate.
The former Rivers state governor and director
general of the 2015 All Progressives Congress
(APC) presidential campaign organisation,
was approved after a series of questions had
been asked by senators.
There was mild drama at the beginning of the
session as the minority leader, Senator
Godswill Akpabio said that the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) caucus had no
questions for the nominee, and this was
immediately corroborated by the Senate
leader, Ali Ndume, who asked Amaechi to
take a bow and go.
But other senators disagreed with him,
stating that they would ask him questions
irrespective of what the PDP caucus had
stated.
The Senate president, Bukola Saraki, ruled
that the nominee be given the same
preferential treatment given to other former
legislators, but the senators insisted on
asking questions.
The former governor was, however, asked to
‘bow down and go’ after a series of questions
had been asked by the senators, some of
whom were his counterparts when he served
as the head of Rivers state.
