Even the two apc senators from delta voted yari but why would he dare go against akpabio? He seems like the most popular from esan followed by hon okojie.imuse is loyal to oshio but I don't know how strong he is while osunbor is old and outdated.hon idahosa will make a fine running mate

garfield1:

Just travel to Jerusalem. You are officially a JP. Just like anybody that travels to Mecca becomes an Alhaja or Alhaji. Double your hustle and travel to Jerusalem QED. My opinion though

ambale:
This is a great news, some of these senators still get sense sha

Throw the loud mouth out right now

One thing i know for sure is if keyamo will scale through this, then some ghana must go bags will roam the senate sha
😄😄

Ikaeniyan0:
They have a valid reason of not confirming him as a minister, if only they can stand their ground.

Ikaeniyan0:
Whats the reason the lawmaker from Abia do not want keyamo to be confirm as a minister?

BREAKING: The senate is currently in a rowdy session over a motion seeking to step down the screening of Festus Keyamo as miniterial nominee.

Darlington Nwokocha representing Abia central, moved a motion on Monday when Keyamo appeared before the lawmakers.

#TheCableIndex

Darlington Nwokocha (Abia Central) raised a point of order relying on Section 88 of the Constitution and moved a motion asking the Senate to step down the screening of Mr Keyamo on the ground that he ignored the invitation of the National Assembly in 2020 when he was minister to explain the issue of public.

Enyinnaya Abaribe (APGA, Abia South) seconded the motion. This nominee rejected the summons of both the House of Representatives and the Senate pending when this National Assembly has that right to summon a minister and further enquiries made.

Senate is in rowdy session over the motion on the suspension of the nomination of Mr Keyamo’s screening. Some are shouting yes while others are shooting no after Mr Akpabio put the motion to vote.

Some of the senators are whispering in the ear of the senate president while others are standing up protesting that the nomination of Mr Keyamo be suspended.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio stood up from sit and cited Order 62 of the Senate allowing all the senators to calm down. When the senators were calm, the Senate President said a lot of things were considered before nomination of Mr Keyamo.

The Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, moved a motion that the Senate moved into a closed session and seconded by the Minority Leader, Simon Mwadkwom.

At 2:00 p.m, the Senate President directed that the Senate should go into closed-door session and ordered Mr Keyamo to step out of the chamber.

Oga,we are youths.let us support our fellow youths.dr Shetty or nobody.tinubu really annoyed me with this useless replacement

trutharena:
This is injustice.

President Tinubu shouldn’t have succumbed to the people opposing Shetty. There is nothing on earth you can do that will please everybody, he should have just leave Shetty to continue.

Only God know how the Shetty lady will be feeling now. It’s even better they don’t announce her in the first place.

I hope all the Arewa youth condemning the nomination of Shetty are now happy.

Slynation:
Wow...I'm impressed!! So why does Heineken and Lalong names appeared on the second batch...??

Na here you go take off...

Our leader in Osun is the haters nightmare, Ogbeni Abdu Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola.

TheNiceGuy:
I know why I said so..

He can't be Osun APC leader Even if given that position.
We have our leader already

TheNiceGuy:
He's not worth it.

He's not popular at home.

I'm very keen to know who represent THE STATE OF OSUN

Gbajabiamila Submits Tinubu’s Supplementary Ministerial List To Senate

The Chief of Staff to President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has submitted President Bola Tinubu’s supplementary ministerial list to the Senate.

The immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives submitted the second list with the second batch of ministerial nominees to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, at exactly 03:17pm.

Akpabio is expected to unveil the additional nominees of the President after the screening of the 28 nominees in the first batch.

Already, the Senate has screened the 28 nominees in the first batch.

Gbajabiamila had last Thursday submitted the first list with 28 nominees to the red chamber and said more names would be forwarded to the upper chamber.

Those screened on Wednesday are Dele Alake, Lateef Fagbemi and Muhammad Idris, Ali Pate and Doris Uzoka.

The Senate had on Tuesday screened nine nominees and adjourned the exercise till Wednesday. Those screened on Tuesday are ex-governors Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna) and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi); Wale Edun, Uche Nnaji, Stella Okotete, Adebayo Adelabu, Ekperikpe Ekpo, Hannatu Musawa, and Musa Dangiwa.

The upper chamber had on Monday screened 14 of the 28-man list of ministerial nominees forwarded by the President last Thursday.

Those screened on Monday include former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike; Abubakar Kyari from Borno State; Nkiruka Onyejeocha (Abia State); Bello Muhammad (Sokoto State); Sani Abubakar Danladi (Taraba State); and Badaru Abubakar (Jigawa State).

Others are Joseph Utsev (Benue State), Olubunmi Tunji Ojo (Ondo State), Betta Edu (Cross River State), Uju Kennedy Ohaneye (Anambra State), Abubakar Momoh (Edo State), John Enoh (Cross River State), Iman Suleiman Ibrahim (Nasarawa State), and Yusuf Maitama Tuggar (Bauchi State).

Section 147 (3) of the 1999 Constitution mandates the President to appoint at least one minister from each of the 36 states. However, 11 states – Adamawa, Bayelsa, Gombe, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Lagos, Osun, Yobe, Plateau and Zamfara — and the Federal Capital Territory don’t have ministerial nominees yet.

garfield1:
Yes but not minister as SS is filled bar bayelsa though Magnus Abe must be compensated.special adviser,dg,chair or executive secretary of any board.nimasa won't be bad.

Alphagan:
If it’s for SW slot, Fashola cannot be considered. Lagos has President, CoS, powerful SAs.

For regional spread, Lagos is technically out

garfield1:
That's very bad.instead dele will perform both.he does not have the tact,calm and maturity of dele.i think Sunday dare or Tunde Rahman or worst case onanuga

garfield1:
Bauchi has only ambassador tukur who will certainly be foreign aff minister...

Fashola has served 8 years na,he has nothing else to offer.they are too many talents in Lagos waiting to showcase

tinsel:
If Tinubu fails to make Keyamo a minister, it will be most unfair.

garfield1:
Who and who? Fashola cannot be considered

Penguin2:
Umahi knew he was going to lose the seat to Linus Okorie of Labour Party, that’s why he lobbied vigorously for the ministerial position.

He has a very bad case at the tribunal because he didn’t win but INEC declared him.

Same thing applies to many other APC National Assembly members from Ebonyi.

Is Abubakar Momoh a Muslim?
