No Confirmation Of Amechi, PDP Senators Tells Sarakj by philchudi: 1:28pm On Oct 29, 2015 |
By Henry Umoru & Joseph Erunke
ABUJA – AS the Senate prepares to confirm the
remaining 18 ministerial nominees, today, following
the conclusion of their screening yesterday,
senators of the opposition Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, have told the Senate President, Bukola
Saraki that the exercise can only be carried out if
the report of Samuel Anyanwu – led Senate
Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions
on Rotimi Amaechi, is considered.
The opposition senators insisted that anything short
of their demand would not be acceptable today,
putting the Senate President in a difficult situation
now.
At the resumed sitting this morning, the PDP Senate
Caucus, speaking through the Deputy Minority
Leader, Senator Biodun Olujimi, PDP, Ekiti South,
said it was necessary that the Senate tabled the
Anyanwu report for consideration before going into
the confirmation of the nominees.
Olujimi, who raised a point of order, under Order 43
of the Senate Standing Rule, told the Senate
President to suspend all the processes leading to
the confirmation of the ministerial nominees until the
consideration of the report.
But she was, however, ruled out of order by the
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who said the
Senate would first handle the screening of nominees
for appointments as federal commissioners of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
He said the issue raised by the senator would be
handled when the Red Chamber goes into
ministerial confirmation.
Among the 19 minister nominees listed on the
Senate Order Paper for confirmation today,
Amaechi’s name is the last, fueling speculation that
the former Rivers State helmsman may have
difficulty scaling the process.
At the moment, the Senate is screening the
nominees for the INEC jobs.
