The Senate has said petitions
against the former governor of
Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi,
would not stop his screening and
confirmation for ministerial
position.
The Senate spokesperson, Dino
Melaye, said this on Thursday.
The Senate on Wednesday
deferred the screening of Mr.
Amaechi to Thursday, following
the inability of its Committee on
Ethics, Privileges and Public
Petitions to submit report on the
petition against the nominee.
A petition by the Peoples
Democratic Party, senators from
Rivers State had stalled his
screening, earlier scheduled for
Wednesday.
Mr. Melaye however said the
Senate would not consider the
petition since its subject is a
matter before a court.
According to him, the Senate had
a standing rule that matter before
a court should not be examined.
“So Amaechi has got no problem,”
he said.
Mr. Amaechi had appeared before
the Senate ad hoc Committee on
Ethics, Privileges and Public
Petitions on Monday.
Mr. Melaye also explained why
the Senate postponed the
ministerial screening to next
week, saying some of the
nominees were yet to submit their
resumè and other documents
required of them.

I feel sorry for Amaechi.

If he crosses this bridge, he should organise Thanksgiving,, cos this men are waiting to chew him like krakers biscuit!

We know. It's a no brainer.

Amaechi will surely be a "noisemaker".

Did someone say B00HARI is "pighting kwarufshion"?

Really?

Rivers under the spell of wike can reject their jesus, nigeria knows and appriciate the value and courage in amechi
so the stone rivers state will reject will be a corner stone in nigeria
This rivers people remind me of the jews and jesus, they prefer the thief wike to amechi the architect of transformation

That one na their problem.make dem use our mind dey play,no be their fault.

Fr me, i use bray watts words"anyone but Amachi"he is a backstabber,an architect that helped regain the Fulani/hausa dynasty in nigeria.
