Expectations that the Senate would screen the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Chibuike Amaechi were dashed on Thursday, when the upper chamber of parliament deferred further screening of ministerial nominees to next Tuesday primarily due to a division in the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on the petition against the ex-governor’s confirmation.

Of the 21 ministerial nominees whose names were submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari on September 30, only those of Amaechi and Adebayo Shittu from Oyo State have not been screened.

The Senate had considered it imperative to exhaust the screening of the first batch of nominees before commencing on the second list.

Amaechi was initially slated for screening on Wednesday but this was deferred to yesterday following the non-submission of the report of its ethics committee on the petition against Amaechi’s confirmation.

The petition submitted by the Integrity Group had alleged fraud and diversion of N70 billion by the former governor.

The Senate did not give a reason for the second deferment but we learnt that the decision might have stemmed from the fact that the committee is divided over Amaechi, resulting in the delay in the submission of its report clearing him for screening.
