Senate Ethics Committee Speaks On Amaechi's Screening by CastroTbb(m): 3:58am On Oct 22, 2015
Our Interest As A Committee Is
Nigeria – Ogba

Following the postponement of the
screening of Rotimi Amaechi, ex-governor
of Rivers state, a member of the Senate
Committee on Ethics and Public Petitions
Obinna Ogba has addressed the issue.
Amaechi should appear before the Senate on
October 22, Thursday.
Ogba denied the speculation that the
committee is against the confirmation. He
equally debunked implication that the shift in
unveiling the report of probe on the former
governor, which resulted in the delay in his
screening was as a result of distinct division
among members of the committee on the
report.
Senator Ogba, who represents Ebony Central
in the National Assembly, under the platform
of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party
insisted that there was no disagreement
among members of the committee.
He said: “ Why do you people have so much
interest in Amaechi’s issue? The point is that
we don’t have any misunderstanding among
ourselves and there is no reason for that.
“We are intact, we are united, our interest as
a committee is Nigeria, we stand for anything
that will move this country forward. We are
not interested in whether somebody is in
party A or party B or from so and so state.”
Amaechi’s screening has been shifted three
times. The second time was reportedly
because the committee was unable to submit
a completed report on the outstanding
petitions against the appointee.
There are also additional accusations that
there is a court order against Amaechi from
Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers
State, from current Governor Nyesome Wike.
However, Nigerian Constitution says that
President Muhammadu Buhari can make
Amaechi a minister without Senate
confirmation.
