ricsman:
why is there no section of the law to back the "at least two senators"

guess Ameachi was once a lawmaker

the three senators are all PDP and you don't expect them to accept Ameachi nomination

I belief he will go through

Amaechi is finished.He must reap what he sowed.You cant betray your people and go scot free. Karma is really a bitchhh ooooo

Every ministerial nominee must be endorsed by at least two senators from their state, the senate ruled on Thursday after deliberating on the procedures for the screening which commences on Tuesday.

Except there is last-minute realignment of forces, some of the ministerial nominees may not scale through.

Rotimi Amaechi (pictured), former governor of Rivers state, has been openly antagonised by the three PDP senators from his state.

It is also believed that Babatunde Fashola, former governor of Lagos state, may be affected by the proviso, which is not new but had been used in the past to disqualify certain nominees.

Fashola is not thought to be a nominee of Bola Tinubu whom the three APC senators from Lagos state are loyal to.

According to Dino Melaye, spokesman of the senate, the upper chamber would adopt constitutional provisions and conventions of the senate as modalities for screening the nominees.

Melaye said the senate would apply section 147 of the Nigerian constitution‎, which states a nominee must be an indigene of one of the 36 states of the federation, in the exercise.

He also disclosed that the senate would use section 14(3‎) of the 1999 constitution, which stipulates that a nominee must be eligible by age and academic qualification to be confirmed as a minister.

The adhoc senate spokesman said the ministerial nominees would also show prove of asset declaration at the code of conduct bureau in the process.

He said former lawmakers who are nominees would be given preference in line with the conventions of the senate‎.

However, he added that the preference did not imply they would take “a bow and go”.

‎Melaye announced that all the ministerial nominees must submit at least 105 copies of their curriculum vitae to the senate before October 12.

Nigeria is bigger than 'his people'. The sooner you accept that Ameachi did what he did for Nigeria and not the ND, the easier you will sleep at night because it will take more than a resurrected senate rule to stop the Lion of Ubima.

Your statement suggests that you wanted Ameachi to support that corrupt administration just because he and Jonathan hailed from the same region, regardless of the effect the looting and mismanagement would have on the quality your life and that of all other Nigerians.

Wonders shall never end.

If the APC senators agree to this one then I will agree with the wailing wailers that they are still learning politics. PDP will use this technique to screen out some apc loyalists like amaechi and Fashola. A rule which they jetissoned for obanoikoro to scale through. APC shouldn't just maga around o! Anyway I bet before next week that rule would be discarded. APC is in power still.

Wonders shall never end.So what you are say in effect is that Ameachi can steal Rivers state monies for the benefit of Nigeria? He did not support the "corrupt government" because he was a saint I guess.

This will teach all Judas politicians out there like Amaechi that after all said and done politics rest with local people at home. If you betray your people to please a stranger, then your political foundation is already shaky. Amaechi's relevance will fizzle out soon.

Except he decides to become Aisha's chef, then he wouldn't need any endorsement from home.
