Keyamo’s screening splits Senate

Lawmakers are in a rowdy session over the screening of a ministerial nominee, Festus Keyamo, SAN.

Keyamo, a former Minister of State for Labour and Employment under former President Muhammadu Buhari, appeared before the Senate to be screened and confirmed.

However, things didn’t go well as Darlington Nwokocha (LP Abia Central), moved a motion requesting the suspension of the screening of the nominee.

Nwokocha reminded Keyamo of how he insulted the lawmakers from both chambers during his tenure as a minister.

The motion was thereafter seconded by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, (APGA Abia South). The lawmakers are currently in a closed-door session.
