Jubilation broke out in the National Assembly today, October 22,
2015, following the ministerial screening of former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Rotimi Ameechi takes the bow as he lives. He shakes the Minority Leader Sen Akpabio.
Amaechi’s screening had been surrounded by controversy due to a petition raised against him by three Senators from his state.
The issue was further compounded by the Senate’s postponements of his interview.
Amaechi was final screened today and after he was asked to “bow and go”, his supporters expressed their joy.
The Senate is now continuing with the screening of five other nominees.
So far, 21 out of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 36 ministerial candidates have been interviewed by the legislative chamber.
