Senate Gives Conditions For Screening Ministerial Nominees by Nobody: 1:14am On Oct 09, 2015 |
The senate at today's plenary session resolved
that all ministerial nominees must have the
endorsement of 2 senators from their state
before they could be granted a pass during their
screening.
Chairman of the Senate ad hoc committee on
Media and Publicity, Dino Melaye who announced
the new conditions today, said the upper
legislative arm will also adopt other constitutional
provisions and conventions for screening
nominees.
He said the Senate would also apply Section 147
of the Nigerian constitution which states that a
ministerial nominee must be an indigene of one
of the 36 states of the federation, before that
person can be screened.
Melaye however did not state what will be the
outcome if a ministerial nominee fails to get the
support of 2 senators from their state of origin.
It appears former River state governor, Rotimi
Amaechi may be having a tough time at the
senate with this new condition as all 3 PDP
senators from his state have expressed their
opposition against his nomination.
In a related development, some of the minsiterial
nominees have reported to the Nigeria Police
Headquarters for profiling as directed by
President Buhari. Those that have reported so
far includes former Lagos state governor
Babatunde Fashola, Audu Ogbe, Chris Ngige,
Udoma Udo Udoma and Abubakar Malami. source:::: vanguard |
