Meanwhile, the Senate has promised to improve on whatever gains it recorded yesterday, adding that it would use the feelings of the general public as the yardstick with which to adjudge self.

 

Chairman of the Senate Ad hoc Committee on Publicity, Senator Dino Melaye, who disclosed this on Wednesday, explained that what happened yesterday was the confirmation screening. He added that “We are not going to confirm in batches. We are going to confirm holistically.”

The submission of the second list coincided with the decision by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to suspend further investigations into the petitions against the appointments of a former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi and Amina Mohammed as ministerial nominees.

 

A non-governmental organisation (NGO), The Integrity Group, had petitioned the Senate, seeking the disqualification of Amaechi by the parliament over the alleged mismanagement of N70 billion when he was Rivers State governor.

 

Another group also petitioned the Senate, seeking the disqualification of Amina Mohammed over the fact that she was nominated to represent Kaduna State when she actually hails from Gombe State.
