Senate President Bukola Saraki yesterday
gave an insight into the process to be adopted
by the Red Chambers of the National
Assembly when it commences the screening
of the ministers-designate on Tuesday.
Saraki, leading a delegation of Senators on a
condolence visit to the family of the late Mrs.
H. I. D. Awolowo in Ikenne, Ogun State, said
that national interest more than any other
consideration would be the guiding principle
in screening the nominees.
“It is not going to be business as usual. What I
can assure you is that we will go with the
constitution, the rules, we will put Nigeria
first,” he said.
Saraki with whom were Senators Lanre
Tejuoso and Biodun Olujimi said: “the
screening will be done with a high level of
seriousness and what we are all about is our
constitutional responsibility to ensure that we
find people who are fit enough to be
Ministers and particularly this time, to give
President Buhari the support he requires.
“It is not about who you like or who you don’t
like and I want to assure Nigerian that will not
be the basis, it will be based on the
constitution and based on ability and our own
assessment of capacity of the nominees to
perform.
“And I assure you that individual differences
would not be an issue at all, and we have
spoken with Senators and told them that.
“At this moment of time, we have made sure
that as much as possible, we share with the
public, we try to ensure that all we be covered
live so that everybody can see, we will all be
screening from our bedrooms and sitting
rooms as well along with the Senators.
“You’re rest assured that we will do a good
job Nigerians would be proud of.”
Saraki added that Nigerians would have the
opportunity of participating in the screening
process from the comfort of their homes as
the exercise would be broadcast live.
Commiserating with the Awolowos, Saraki
described the deceased as a great person, an
icon and mother for all.
He said this informed why the Senate passed
a resolution mandating a delegation to be led
by the leadership to pay a condolence visit to the family

Ok

We don hear jare, talk another one

Abeg... APC should keep their mouth shut!

Infact.... I'm beginning to believe that there isn't any ministerial list that the media is just formulating this list to put away people's interest on the appointment of ministers... Perhaps... Buhari had done that to ensure that Saraki will extend the date by giving him more time to nominate the people he had wanted.

APShiittt
